The Beautiful Not Yet

God invited me to enjoy “the beautiful not yet” — meaning the period of becoming, like the dead thrumming of the world just before spring begins. Then He let me run through a rainy, windy hail storm! I’m seeing that God enjoys all of it, the storms and the sunshine. He is asking me to rejoice in the process of growth and existence. What are you passionate about? What rouses your soul? Is God there?
