what are the moments when God reminds you of His presence?

It is difficult to juggle a full time job, my academics as a student, my service in youth ministry (YFC), social time with my classmates, quality time with my roommates and pressure with my family. More often the efforts leave me tired, not just physically but most of the time spiritually. Instead of greeting each day with enthusiasm. I would daydream, thinking that my classmates and roommates would get connected with my brothers and sisters, and serving the YFC became more of a burden than joy. But still, God constantly reminds me if His presence in the simplest way... a simple "Thank you" from a brother, the corniest jokes from a big brother, a simple hug from my younger sisters, a simple text from my former roommates who always inspire me and believes in my abilities, who are now my bests of friends, to my younger roommates who always gives me the sweet "I LOVE YOU" I would ever had. I could sing with them even if am out of tune, eat with them with the poorest food and just be with who i am with them. These are the moments when God gently tells me again and again that He is keeping me in His embrace through these people. Even though I often frail to stay connected with Him, truly, the times when I think I am most detached from my Christ are the times when He is closest to me. It is easy to forget God when we don't feel like seeking Him.

I am always reminded by God that He's with me when in trials. My friend said that the times that you think God is not with you is actually the times that God is with you.
