I love it that I am discovering more and more that God is not restricted by man’s attempts at containing him – but that he is so much bigger – so unexplainable – that our human minds simply cannot comprehend Him.

And – I find – his spirit stirs our souls in so many ways – and often in ways so unexpected too – not bound by religion – for – “spirituality does not come from religion – it comes from our souls”

While on holiday – I witnessed quite a strict form of religion – very different from any that I had grown up around – yet – it was the ‘call’ of this – that stirred my soul. The ‘call’ – that resounded around the city – beginning in one place – and picked up by others – seeming to move all over the city.

For me – it was a ‘call ‘- that echoed with that deep desire within most of us – to connect with the divine – as this quote puts it – “there is a stirring going on – it’s a stirring of a billion souls – it’s the stirring of Eternal Love – the mixer is our creator whispering – I am here – I am here”.

As that call stirred my soul – I wondered afresh – how I so often encounter God – in the unexpected – yet – there are many times – I am sure – when I miss those moments – as someone once said – “life is full of surprises and exciting moments – and sometimes we simply overlook them – we are so busy doing things”

I’m so grateful for that encounter – in the midst of a wonderful week – full of new sights and sounds – of those surprises and exciting moments – I am grateful – I didn’t miss out – that there was ‘space’ – to pause – to absorb my surroundings – and allow my soul to be stirred.

I guess that will remain one of the highlights of my time away – that ‘soul stirring of eternal love’ – that reached out to me – ‘the Creator – whispering – ‘I am here’.

Blessings – Lois
