The Story Behind “Ordinary”

Hi, this is Hannah Kerr.

So ordinary is really about how we often are looking for God in the huge things. We’re looking for these amazing miracles. We’re waiting for the ground to shake and the thunderclouds to be so loud in our ears. But sometimes God is just trying to speak to us in the ordinary moments of life. In the second verse it talks about watching the seasons change. It talks about having a conversation with a friend. It talks about laughing with joy. The little moments in life that are so important. I think we can miss them so often because we’re waiting for this giant thing to happen. But God is so present in our daily lives and it really just comes down to the fact that there is no mundane, even though it might feel like we’re just going through the motions or we’re stuck in the same place. God makes every moment new. His mercies are new every morning, and he makes the ordinary extraordinary.
