I Wonder…Did God Miss Me?
I wonder…Did God miss me when I wandered so far away all those years? Did He grieve when there were times that I didn’t thank Him for the life He had given me and I didn’t ask Him what would be the best next step in my life? I wonder, did He miss me when there were triumphs in my life that I didn’t share with Him? I wonder, did He grieve when, in the lowest times of my life, I didn’t call out to Him for help?
As I share each and every day with my children, I think sometimes about how God feels. I see my children discover new things and connect ideas. What is the absolute first thing that they do? “MOMMY! Clarissa’s having kittens!!!!” “Mommy, why are the guineas fighting?” Mommy, what does outdistance mean?” “MOMMY, Sophia fell out of the tree!”
Every day, a thousand times a day, my children come to me with their pains, their frustrations, their questions, their triumphs…sometimes just for reassurance. Yes, it’s overwhelming sometimes, but mostly, it is just precious.
And every day, my children tell me in so many ways how much they love me. I’m a very touchy-feely, verbal person. (Sanguine 
) Two of the four children are like me in that respect, and several times a day, they will spontaneously say, “Mommy, I love you!” I never get tired of hearing it.
I think God must be like that, too. He must never get tired of hearing that I love Him. He must really want me to share every little thing in my life with Him.
Today, I have asked forgiveness for all the time I spent shutting God out of my life and I made a new commitment to include Him in every aspect of my life. Won’t you Join Me On the Journey?

Tamera,
I also feel the same way. I guess that is the reason that GOD moved me, like I posted in my blog, to take a day just to worship and praise HIM. It is so important to not only seek HIM in church or our quiet time with HIM. He instructs us to worship and incorporate HIM into everything we do. He wants us to surrender it all to HIM and seek HIS face in everything we do. When we are cooking dinner, playing/teaching our children, sharing time with our husbands, etc… He wants to be included in everything we do.

I have to say “Yes” - God missed you - He missed you BIG time! He misses all His prodigals and He will do anything for every one for them to have them back in His arms.
- I have been there too, and I am glad that He loves me so much that He gave me a second chance.
Blessings to you and yours today and always.
