presence

I read a short devotional today, kind of written from God's perspective. He was saying (through the author) that He wants me to remember His presence, every minute of every day. By staying in constant dialogue with Him, I can begin to see circumstance and people through His eyes.

I have often wished I could keep a more godly perspective. Rise above situations and not get sucked down into them. I so easily lose sight of God. Lose any sense of His presence, much less keep an ongoing conversation flowing with Him.

And then something strange struck me. Ever since I started this blog, I have begun thinking of it throughout the day. More and more, as time goes by, actually. I see something, experience something. Think, "Oh, that will make for an interesting entry." I think through the words I'll use. The sights, smells, sounds I want to capture. The feelings I want to express.

Why, then, if this blog is becoming a part of my ongoing consciousness, can't I carry God around with me the same way. Think of Him as I move through the day. Notice things and tell Him about them. Ask about things that puzzle me. 

I'm afraid it's because the anonymous faceless people out there who read my blog are somehow more real to me than He is. I don't like to admit that. This must change.

How and how?
