God is beyond powerful, having the ability to create and destroy. He reveals His Almighty power through many incredible, yet average things. He proves His existence through His creation, and, sometimes, His destruction.

He makes Himself known in everyday life. These are the ways that I see him in my everyday life.

1. God reveals His plan through natural phenomena.

This includes anything from storms, tornadoes, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, and even fog. God reveals His frightening, overwhelming power, something that makes Him amazing, through the destruction of areas. However, he makes these destructive forces strangely beautiful, and uses these to reveal His plan, whether it's a new home for survivors or a call to help others. No matter where God calls you, a natural phenomena is one main way He reveals His plan for you.

2. Sunsets and sunrises reveal His glory.

Although any normal person would think that sunsets and sunrises are also natural phenomena, neither are highly considered in this category. Sunsets and sunrises are beautiful, glorious ways in the beginning of the day and the end of day that God reveals His wondrous glory. We can wake up to God's glory and we can enjoy His glory right before resting in His presence.

3. Your conversations with others reveal God’s compassion.

Often times, God reveals His loving, overwhelming compassion through the people around us. By the way the people express their love for us, the way our friends care for us in our hurt, and the way our family provides for our needs all show that God lives within other people and His love and compassion is expressed simply in everyday communication and affection.

4. He reveals His advice through signs, billboards, articles, etc.

Before my grandmother passed, I noticed a church sign that read, "Earth has no sorrow that Heaven can't heal." When I was struggling with self-image, I received a card that said, "A reminder that God loves you." Lastly, I was reading an article titled, "I Took A Month Off Of My Life To Work On My Relationship With God," and it opened my eyes to my need to be with God when I decide anything for my future. In the same way, God can reveal things to others through signs, billboards, and articles, too. Be sure to listen to Him in everyday situations.

5. Strangers’ kindness reveals God’s kindness.

Have you ever had a random stranger pay for your meal, whether at a sit-in or in the drive-thru? Have you ever had a stranger compliment you out of pure kindness? That's God! He reveals His kindness and how He lovingly provides for all our needs. God isn't only in your inner circle, He is everywhere! He reveals Himself in the most basic ways, but because it is God, He makes those everyday ways, incredible.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
