God is where you are

I am participating in a class at church on Beautiful Mess Motherhood for Every Moment. It has been such a blessing and we are only on week two!  This class was perfect timing for me. 

One thing that stuck out to me is that God is where you are. How often have we been in a bad spot and wondered where God was?  We often feel that God has left us during difficult times, but He is always there with us. He may be guiding our steps, showing us something we need to learn about ourselves, or possibly waiting for us to simply turn to Him. He wants to handle our bad moments just as much as He should be praised during our high moments. He isn't just tree when we are floating on clouds but He is also there when we are at our lowest. 

During my journey with infertility I realized that God not only wanted me to learn things about myself but he also wanted me to turn to Him and trust Him with what I was experiencing. He didn't just want to be there for the positive pregnacy test, but He was there for all of the negative pregnancy tests as well. 

With the loss of my Dad God was right there with me as well. He was talking to me, making me move when I didn't want to, and changing my heart. He wasn't just there when my Dad told me that he loved me but He was also there when my dad got upset with me. He was there trough the whole relationship: the good, the bad, and the ugly. 

Are you acknowledging God when He is with you all of the time or just during the high points?  Are you turning to Him during low points? Most of all are you trusting Him trough all of the lows, middles, and highs?
