But finding God in the boring parts of life is easier said than done. Here are five ways (aside from the Examen) to find God in all things. Micro-Awareness—This is not just trying to be aware of the present moment, but rather letting each small action you take become your primary purpose in the moment. If you let something as simple as pushing the power button on your computer or walking up the stairs be done with intention and awareness (rather than letting routine get the best of you), you’ll find a new holiness in those mundane tasks.Journal—Writing down the experiences of your day as well as your thoughts and feelings is a kind of Examen, but oftentimes the act of writing uncovers unseen moments of God’s presence you initially missed.<br />Do something the “old fashioned way”—Technology and fast expectations can often close the door on our awareness of God. For a change, walk to someone’s desk instead of calling, handwrite a letter instead of e-mailing, walk to the store instead of driving, or take the train instead of flying. The change of pace may give you a more meaningful interaction or experience. And slowing down lets you acknowledge God’s presence more easily. <a href="http://miginecologoonline.com/" rel="nofollow">consulta online</a> <a href="http://medicoporinternet.com/" rel="nofollow">medico online</a> <a href="http://elpediatraonline.com/" rel="nofollow">pediatra online</a> <a href="http://unmedicoonline.com/" rel="nofollow">medico online</a> <a href="http://doctorporinternet.com/" rel="nofollow">doctor online</a> <a href="http://midermatologoonline.com/" rel="nofollow">dermatologo online</a> <a href="http://miveterinarioonline.com/" rel="nofollow">veterinario online</a> <a href="http://veterinarioporinternet.com/" rel="nofollow">veterinario online</a> <a href="http://consultspecialists.net/" rel="nofollow">doctor online</a> <a href="http://consultaespecialistas.com/" rel="nofollow">consulta online</a> <a href="http://losabogadosonline.es/" rel="nofollow">abogado online</a> <a href="http://abogadoscolombiaonline.com/" rel="nofollow">abogado online</a> <a href="http://abogadosmexicoonline.com/" rel="nofollow">abogado online</a> <a href="http://abogadosespa%C3%B1a.com/" rel="nofollow">abogado online</a> <a href="http://unabogadoonline.com/" rel="nofollow">abogado online</a> <a href="http://elpsicologoonline.com/" rel="nofollow">psicologo online</a> <a href="http://eldoctoronline.com/" rel="nofollow">doctor online</a> <a href="http://mipsicologoporinternet.com/" rel="nofollow">psicologo online</a> <a href="http://miabogadoporinternet.com/" rel="nofollow">abogado online</a> <a href="http://consultas-de-nuestros-usuarios-consultaespecialistas.com/" rel="nofollow">abogado online</a> Listen—When was the last time you really listened to someone without trying to think of what to say next? You’ll be surprised what you hear if you actually listen—to a friend, to the natural sounds around you (try turning off the radio when you drive), or to your own conscience. God speaks when we pause long enough to listen.consultaespecialistashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16526600592573627951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2574014393816365650.post-8553933303027801892012-10-23T23:49:08.953-04:002012-10-23T23:49:08.953-04:00Sometimes it's pruning that we need - but the ...Sometimes it's pruning that we need - but the Father knows what we can bear.David C Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08891468618584742601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2574014393816365650.post-21059922943226804482012-10-22T00:09:14.040-04:002012-10-22T00:09:14.040-04:00As a new reader I found your word picture of the m...As a new reader I found your word picture of the master gardener so refreshing and thought provoking. thanks...I will be back ClellaClellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02983086894765157930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2574014393816365650.post-85286016347355606262012-10-18T21:02:21.267-04:002012-10-18T21:02:21.267-04:00This is such a picture, it's how it is with us...This is such a picture, it's how it is with us and life and God...

I love the entire planting, fertizing, watering, growing, pruning, more fertilizing, trimming, budding, and cutting back process. Some aspects I enjoy more, but always the outcome is blooms, and more blooms.<br /><br />Great post!
