October 24, 2014, heralds an important milestone in life–my 60th birthday. \u00a0For me, it is an opportunity to revisit missed opportunities and complete unfinished business. \u00a0It is a time to begin anew. \u00a0Life is an adventure. \u00a0My focus is discovering the wonders of God’s creation. \u00a0God is everywhere. \u00a0This blog, “Finding God Everywhere” isn’t really about finding Him<\/em>…He isn’t lost. \u00a0We are.<\/p>\n

I want to open my eyes and truly see Him; deepen my understanding of His attributes and see His creation in a new way. \u00a0Until now I was either too busy, or too poor to journey to places I either needed<\/em> or wanted to see.<\/em>\u00a0 So now, God willing, I am putting one foot in front of the other until God directs me differently or merely says, “stop”.<\/p>\n

I’ve known in my heart for almost two years that I would be a “gypsy” for God if He determined this path for me. \u00a0 I proclaimed often, “I’m just a gypsy” while friends and family smiled often at such silliness. \u00a0Low and behold, God made a way for this to transpire. The second divorce left me with the income to travel; and God placed a man in my life that held the qualities I needed most–one who loved God as much or more than I did, a willingness to go wherever God called, plus an ability to see and react to situations in order to keep me safe. \u00a0 I am a bit oblivious or naive as some might say. \u00a0I like to believe the best in people. \u00a0At this particular time in the world, there are unsafe destinations filled with people intending to do harm.<\/p>\n

Weighing on my heart and mind for more than two decades, I will finally finish that novel, and perhaps even write a few others. \u00a0After a birthday in Paris and a few days in London I\u2018m journeying to Istanbul, L’viv, Kiev and St. Petersburg. \u00a0It is my prayer to see and experience locations, people and perhaps even similar religious or political conflicts felt by my ancestors in 1905. \u00a0If it is the Lord\u2019s will, He will\u00a0lead, direct and reveal all that I need to know, see or experience to finish writing a story God placed on my heart decades ago.<\/p>\n

Norway also calls to me. \u00a0I will spend almost one month journeying throughout this amazing land of my ancestors. \u00a0God\u2019s presence in the Northernmost arctic city in Norway, (Tromso) will be experienced in the darkest month of winter with His glorious hand painting the skies. \u00a0In the Bible book of Revelation, the apostle John describes God’s throne as one with an emerald rainbow. Aurora Borealis is just such a rainbow. \u00a0Silent and magical, is this majestic phenomena similar to the emerald hue described by John? \u00a0<\/p>\n

I am giving God all the glory and praise in this endeavor. \u00a0He provides my strength (down to every breath I take) and sets this path before me. \u00a0Thank you for taking your precious time to read the words I write and view the photos I take.<\/p>\n
