Have you ever heard the expression "God is
in the details?" Or, perhaps, "the devil is in the
details?"
In college, I had an instructor who would circle the most minuscule omissions in red pen and write that phrase: God is in the details. Accidentally double space after a period when the rest have single spaces? Red pen. God is in the details. Barely noticeable typography goof-up? Red pen. God is in the details.
Annoying, right? Right, but insightful. At the time I was annoyed because I had five classes of nothing but writing and creating and the last thing on my mind was a tiny, forgotten detail. When you think about it though, it is the details that make up our lives: little, seemingly insignificant details, choices, and moments that make up our life, make up our story.
Sometimes the most ordinary, mundane things can turn into extraordinary moments. What was one of your most extraordinary ordinary moments this year?
Our story is in the details ... How will you resound?

My most extraordinary ordinary moment this year was going to a Weekend to Remember marriage conference with my DH. It was energizing and emotional but extraordinary.
Here is an email that I sent out after that weekend, it defiantly shows God in the details:
Hello! and happy Monday to you. :) Hope your week has had a good start!
I just wanted to drop you a quick note of love and thanksgiving for your thoughts, prayers and encouragement over the weekend! David and I both had a wonderful time; we both felt comfortable, encouraged and we learned a lot to bring home into our marriage. We learned a lot of what we were doing right, and even what we could be doing better on. We both have a new commitment and sense of excitement in our marriage and future together.
Our time together was Spirit blessed for sure! Thank you for your prayers for us both, they were answered and felt by both of us. We can't share our thanks enough that each of you are in our lives, we are soooo entirely blessed to have friends and family like you!
We'd also like to encourage each of you to take the same step, invest in each other. It doesn't matter where your relationship is, good or bad, this time and training will be well worth it. The time together is amazing, and we'd love to share in it with you. Because we believe so strongly in The Weekend to Remember's power to strengthen, we've created a Group Code that you can use to get 50% your registration. We challenge you to take the next step- if we can do it... so can you! :)
