Friday Five: God Comes Near Edition

From the revgals as usual, a nice Friday Five: "Please share five ways that God has come to you (your family or friends, your church or workplace, our world) in the past year, that God is coming to you right now, and/or that you are longing and looking for God to come."

Here are 5 photos that represent how God has come near to me this year (an important part of my journey this year, knowing that God is near...hence the focus is pretty much just on me...)


There was our trip back to Tucson to visit our Abuelitos (our adopted grandma and grandpa). Gorgeous spring in the desert, and a wonderful visit with them.



Now God, She made it blizzard at the beginning of my retreat, so that I could not get away (from Her). Although eventually I was able to get out to take this photo of my precious little hermitage.



The moment we had all been waiting for: I'm ordained! So full of Spirit I could hardly hold myself up during this moment.



This is a two-for-one: My cielo, and the goats. Divine love, and divine humor.

Another two-for-one: Dear friends (without whom I would have been lost this year), and the wonder of the Rocky Mountains.
