Congratulations. Your gift of a new day is here. Ready to live it big. You're listening to the Big Life

Devotional podcast. Now, here's Pamela to get you fired up for all God has available for you today.

Well, good morning, beautiful. Welcome to a brand new day of life. Happy Friday, my friends. What an

amazing day it is to get to be alive. And I'm so thankful. I get to speak into your life today.

I have a fantastic, very timely devotional. But before I do devotional, I got to share a little story with you. Is that okay?

Something happened a week ago today that I'm still just spinning over. Like I cannot believe how good

God is, how big God is, and yet how he works in every little detail. So get this. This is what

happened last Friday. Last Friday, I was hosting our Big Life Christmas retreat, Adventure Day.

We were going to Crystal River to go swim with the gathering of the manatee. Remember the

devotional that morning? I talked about the manatee. Remember the devotional that morning?

I talked about the manatee and how they were all gathered there naturally to come to the

spring waters for the winter.

Hundreds of manatee.

Really super cool experience kayaking through the river and swimming with them.

But you know, when you invite God into every detail

of whatever it is you're doing, like be prepared to see God in the details. So I always pray over

like the details of retreat. God, where do we go? Who do we connect with? What do we do? What's our

schedule? And God just loves to be invited into the details because I have found that's when he just

gets to show off. So I had chosen a specific company to use for our Manatee tour guides and had prayed over it. God

really showed me, yes, this is where we're going. This is what we're doing. And they were

fantastic. Like great experience. If you ever go, let me know. I can hook you up with the right

people. But after the tour, I started speaking to a lady named Jamie that worked there kind of in the front office of this manatee tour guides.
