But if I want to be intentional about telling the stories God is giving me when I come to the table, I must feel an urgency to open my eyes even to the routine of my daytime hours. As John Piper tells us, “God is always doing 10,000 things in your life, and you may be aware of three of them.”1 God uses us in ways we are scarcely aware of, but we can show up more purposefully every morning and whisper to Jesus, “I want to be awake to the stories you are writing in my life today. I want to lean less into the random and more into the divinely orchestrated.”
