Finding God in ALL things

Something that I have been learning over the course of the year is "finding God in all things." This is something that St. Ignatius talked about during his lifetime and is something that I have begun to insert into my life. Even during the moments that it seems I ask myself "Where is God?" or "I am not acting in Christ-likeness," it seems that I am always able to find God.

There have been a couple of times in the past week that have really stood out to me. On my way home I was riding the bus and the scheduled time to be in Chicago was 9:40pm. Half way through the 8 hour trip, the driver announced it would be 10:00pm. I setup my ride to be picked up at 10:00pm before my phone died. At 10:00pm the bus was still 30 minutes from the city, but I had no way to communicate with my ride that we would be late. I began to become frustrated and cursing. When I arrived at Union Station, I felt bad that I had reacted in such a way and that I didn't instead respond to the situation. My next thought in this, was I am thankful that the bus made it safe home and that I had money to travel back to Missouri. I am thankful that God allowed me to enjoy a weekend with family and friends.
