At Peace

This was the most beautiful gift the other night! I'm a skywatcher by nature, and I looked up at 9:07pm to see this...




So amazing! As always I hollered to the family to come and see, but they took too much time and missed it. It was so much better in person, of course, with a little bit of golden light painted behind the edges of the little puffs. Very hard to capture on my iPhone, for sure. 

Just wanted to share. Wish I could have shared the falling star I saw the night before! It was the biggest one I've ever seen. It fell flat when I shared it on Facebook. I might have been the only one who really understood what that meant for me. 

I guess you'd have to be laid up for four months to really appreciate what it's like to see the sky at night again! What it feels like to look up in the sky and see a cloud in the shape of a heart when you haven't been outside in months and you're at the brink of despair...and God speaks...


(I think this was May). What it feels like to feel completely awed by a sky full of stars and then suddenly see one shoot across the sky....and then another....and then none. How very loved you feel when you know just where that comes from and just Who arranges that at just the right moment. There is no way to explain the feeling in your heart...or is it your soul? I can't explain. 

That is something to be celebrated because it's how He speaks. And if you listen, He will speak to you. Get excited. Look up. Watch. Don't miss out when it's still in the air but the breeze touches your cheek. When out of nowhere you feel a drop on your face and it's not raining. 

He is everywhere. And I am at peace.

God speaking through nature is a special experience for sure. Glad you were able to listen and appreciate His creation and His care for you.

Words Matter. Choose them carefully.

A Character that Reveals

  When you love your enemies,  you reveal what kind of God  our God is.  I was thinking today about how stubborn we are as people sometimes....
