Serendipity: Finding something great without looking for it. 

If I told you all of the miraculous things that have happened since my move to Florida, you probably wouldn't even believe me. For those of you that don't know let me catch you up to speed.

1 month ago I visited St. Petersburg for the very first time and I knew so deeply I was supposed to be here. I went back to Starkville, put in my 2 weeks notice and sold almost everything to my name. I did all this on the slight chance that St. Petersburg wanted me here as much as I wanted to be here.

In just 24 hours I have landed a job that I want, a mentor and a pretty sweet side gig house-sitting. To say this is serendipity would be doing God no justice because this was bigger.

Let's get straight to the point, the size of your God matters.

My whole life I have heard people tell me "you have been blessed by the favor of God."

I used to smile and agree, of course I was. I mean, when I look at my life I am in awe.

But, the more I thought about that statement the less I bought into it. What does that even mean? Isn't everyone? What makes me any different?

As I debated this over and over tonight, this simple phrase struck a cord.

I just believe in a really big God.

The kinda size that makes me quit my job and move. The kind of size that puts the right people in my life at the right time. The kind of size that encourages me to say "no" to a job offer even when I am without. The kind of size that gives me peace about traveling alone because I know HE is always with me.

But, because I believe in such a big God, I expect a big God to show up. I expect a big God to perform and continue to leave me in awe. I am willing to do radical things for him because I know HE is going to provide. That being said, HE knows that in order for me to continue making radical jumps, HE has to provide.

See,

I am not saying that quitting your job and selling your life is the best decision for you. But what I am saying is reevaluate your goals and your passion.

I would encourage you to ask yourself, what size God do you serve?

Whichever one you choose will be the one that shows up. But, to receive great things you must expect great things.
