NYC

NYC seems a cold and lonely and not-so-soulful city at times. I came here this trip with a bad attitude. Admittedly, my attitude was really bad. Silly as it may seem, it was bad mostly because I had to leave Austin on an absolutely gorgeous day and come here. To where it's cold. And busy. And crowded. And soul-less.

But God is good.

He is good to remind me that He is everywhere. There is no place I can go away from Him.And that this city isn't quite so soul-less after-all.

He reminded me in Starbucks when the music playing overhead was a redone hymn, set in an upbeat, folksy tune. He reminded me when I walked into the office, following some colleagues and when the automatic hallway lights came on, they all three exclaimed, "And God said 'Let there be light'!". He reminded me yet again that He is at work in this soulful city, as I overheard two people a couple desks away discussing church and worship and what it means to be a true believer.

God is good. And He is faithful to remind me that He is with me. All the time and everywhere. There is nowhere I can go where He is not already there, at work.
