Have you ever wandered outside and suddenly are just stopped because everything is so beautiful? Today I had one of those moments. It was snowing, light, fluffy snow and as I just gazed around me I was struck by the wonder in the moment. You could have passed by this moment, probably faster then most moments but I was caught in the beauty of it. The stillness that the snow created was peaceful, the way the snow lay on the ground and the trees called out to be praised, and in my heart I lost my breath by sheer awe of the creation around me.
"This all has to mean something" my heart cried out, it was to amazing to not. As I kept thinking about that question, I realized that in fact it means so much and it was to remind me of that. The sheer wonder that moments like that create remind me of a very present God. It would all be to much to just have fallen in place without someone helping it come into place, seeing the nature around me always rocks me back to the truth that our God is a present one, not far in the distance or a god just watching from heaven. No, I was reminded that He is a God who is as close as my next breath, He shows Himself in many ways, one of them being the beauty of creation.
I can't imagine what my life would be like without those moments. They always bring me out of myself and make me see that there is something more, a cry for an abundant life.
I've written other blogs before, starting and then eventually deleting. They were trivial, bad writing, and silly content. I want this to be something more. Reflections of a ragamuffin who is constantly being shown how beautiful life is and even more so what a good, present God we have who is awaiting our awareness of Him.
