There’s always been something about science that intrigued me – something that kept me going back to it even in moments throughout college where I’d ask myself, “WHY am I doing this?” It wasn’t until recently that my perspective shifted, and the phrase “author of it all” kept coming to my mind. God is all around us – not just in small groups, Sunday services, ministry jobs, or environments that always talk about God (although He does exist in those places). He is in the body that works to keep you alive every day, He is in every neuron that allows your brain to communicate with the rest of your body (how cool), and He is in the researchers & doctors who are pushing to learn more and more about the diseases and illnesses that plague our world. I get to study and learn about the complexity and beauty of the brain, which is the coolest thing – and through that, I get to know the one who truly is the author of it all.
Deeply embedded in me
was the belief
that I needed to be
in a Church
to see and experience God,
that I needed to pursue a career
in a Church
to be connected to God.
These days
I’m learning that
God is where we
choose to see Him,
in the way the leaves fall
and flowers bloom,
in the way the earth spins
and the sun shines,
in every cell in the human body
that keeps us alive
to breathe, to think
to heal, to grow.
Every little detail
beautifully complex,
the miracle of science
gifted to us
to explore
to discover
to get to know
the author of it all.
