Waiting for the Butterflies

About the Book

Swimming caps, mango trees, birthday parties, dirty clothes, lemonade, and mosquitoes! What could all these have in common? This collection of forty devotionals connects the ordinary objects and experiences of everyday life to the consistent presence of God in the lives of all of us. He is not restricted to magnificent chapels with stained-glass windows, neither is He confined to the peaceful ambiance of nature. Everyday people who lead ordinary lives are guaranteed to find God in everyday places. These pages will reveal some unusual “holy spots” that, no doubt, you too have visited but somehow missed the opportunity of a heavenly encounter. Prepare for comfort, laughter, inspiration, and suspense, but most of all a deeper friendship with God. Each new day comes with a personal invitation for a divine encounter. As you wait for the butterflies, you will find them transforming your most unlikely locations into holy ground and you will never experience another day without the presence of God.
