See, she's been a Sparkly Marshmallow since before the OSM and I came up with it a year ago on a bridge watching the stars during our very first hidden hours. But she calls it whale watching. She took me whale watching about two years ago. We went down the river and literally watched for whales. Since then, it has evolved. Whale watching has become a metaphor in the same way Sparkly Marshmallow has. We all know what being a Sparkly Marshmallow means by now.
But whale watching takes it one step further. Whale watching is about chasing it. Whale watching is actively searching for the sparkle in life. It is actively seeking out the miracles. It is demanding the extraordinary in each day. Because it's already there. You just have to find it. You have to take the time to watch for whales. They only come to those who seek them out.
And for those who seek them out, sometimes... sometimes they can come in the hundreds in a single day. Sometimes it can rain whales. But when you start watching for whales, you realize that they will come. Every time you seek one out, you'll find one. Even in deepest despair, God'll send a whale. In the desert, He will send a whale. The mundane can be full of whales.
So here's my challenge to you. For one week, each day, watch for whales. Look for the small miracles, look for the big miracles, look for things that have no other explanation, look for the things that turn your day around, look for the things that stop you in your tracks, look for the things that take your breath away.
Demand the extraordinary. It'll come. Just watch for it. Wait for it. Ask for it. And see what happens. You won't be disappointed.
