From “Trust the Whisper: How Answering Quiet Callings Inspires Extraordinary Stories of Ordinary Grace“ by Kathy Izard
When I first noticed these God Dots, I was simply amazed by each connection, and I wondered about the likelihood of these seemingly serendipitous moments. Over time, I’ve come to believe that these remarkable stories are not simply coincidences. These miraculous stories have always been happening, and the only difference is that I finally am paying attention. Through experiencing these God Dots in my own life and witnessing them in others’ lives, I now believe we are surrounded by the holy all the time. Every day, extraordinary moments are unfolding. We are all connected by this grace, and our stories are woven together in astounding ways.
When you experience something that cannot be explained by coincidence or happenstance, that is your own God Dot story. When you begin to see how your small miracles interweave with others, that is connecting the God Dots. Each God Dot, each tiny story, is part of the bigger story – the one we are all here to understand. What is this life about? What is my purpose? Is there a God? How can I be certain?
