Everyday God

I've been meaning to write this blog post for a long time. Really, since July. I finally uploaded the picture to my computer so I could blog about it. Yes, I know it's October.

How does this picture show you how "everyday" God can be? There are lots of things in this picture that show a person God in their everyday life. Examples are a sunny day in Washington, a wonderful church camp that I can send all of my kids to, the volunteer job that I was chosen for (all I had to do was go around and take pictures...super fun). However, those are wonderful things, it is not what I see. I see a goofy kid with suntan lotion, yes, I know you do too.

This goofy kid represents the meaning of "an everyday" God. I was at Summer Hummer, a church camp, in Olympia, Washington. I was walking out to take some pictures of some campers going on the zip line, and I had Willow on my back. Because it was a sunny day in Washington, I was thinking to myself that I needed to find some suntan lotion to put on Willow. I knew many of the camp counselors, and thought I could find someone I knew to get some sunscreen. So as I am walking out to the zip line this goofy kid jumps out in front of me and shoves this bottle of sunscreen in my face. I was so amazed how fast that God was able to answer my everyday need. I asked the goofy kid how he knew I needed sunscreen for the baby? He replied that he wanted to take a goofy picture with his sunscreen. So I took his picture and he let me have some sunscreen for Willow.

It was really neat how God was able to provide me with what I needed in a place I didn't expect to receive it. It wasn't going to be hard to find someone that I knew with lotion. It doesn't matter how big or small; God cares.
