In His thoughts

For the last almost week I've had bathroom renovations on the brain. While at youth camp this past week, I'd be in the service at night and all I could think about was what all I needed to buy and which tools I needed to get from dad.

Now that I'm in the middle of it, I am still plagued with renovation thoughts. Just this morning I sat running power point for the church, and there were moments during worship when my mind would just end up on miter saws, brace joints, wood putty, etc. There are cabinetry plans in my head and until I finish the whole project they will stay there.

It made me think about God and how we are ever in His thoughts. I wonder if during creation He would have to stop and shake His head and refocus... "No, think about Miranda later... right now I need to finish making these oceans." I mean I know God is everywhere all the time and so it didn't really happen like that. But in the moment this morning I couldn't help be be reminded that the way we let things overtake our minds, God's mind is always like that with us. He's ever thinking about us, loving us, and looking out for us. Luckily when I'm done with this bathroom I won't have to think about it anymore. However God is never done with me. He'll be thinking of me forever. He is eternally plagued with thoughts of us.

Until then......
