Hey Everyone,
I hope that for you, this 21 day adventure has awakened some new habits or ways of seeing and engaging God the way it has in me. It really has helped to have a daily focus. As we continue toward the finish line, my prayer is that it won't be an end but a whole new beginning for us.
I've read that it takes repeating something for 21 days consecutively in order to create a habit. I'm not sure if this would ever function completely on "auto-pilot",(or that it should) but it can become a more integral part of our outlook.
I was driving down the highway praying yesterday and asking the Lord to show me what He was praying. As I did, I passed by an eighteen wheeler that read "delivering new solutions". My spirit immediately jumped and knew this was the word of the Lord. It gave me a clear direction for prayer and insight into His heart. I want habitually anticipate hearing God in small events like this. Whenever I go to a grocery store or a coffee shop or whenever I am, I want to begin to expect again to see the wonder of God show up in everything. Here's an old poem of mine for you:
"There is cinema hiding in the cornfields
There is mystery beneath the crow's wing
There are stories the size of eternity sleeping inside of a moment.
Liberate the Divine Spark.
Wonder is all around us.
It quietly hums even beneath the mundane
Crouching in wait for those who will discover
Symphony is peering behind every tree."

I LOVE the poem, Stephen. Who wrote it? It should become a song. Thanks for the encouragment to listen.
