Opening Thoughts



I really don't feel as though my thoughts are particularly profound or life changing, so please don't be disappointed by simple ideas or random antics. I enjoy journaling and thought I'd give blogging a try. My best ideas, in my opinion anyway, come to me at night right before sleep and are often brushed aside or forgotten by the time I'm basking in the light of a new day. I love the calm of the morning and simply being...still, quiet, at peace. I am absolutely in awe of the magnificent beauty of the stars. Shooting stars are special hand delivered gifts to my heart from the Man who knows and loves me best. Every time I see one my breath escapes me for a moment as I'm reminded of His never failing, unending love for me. This happens, too, when I am standing high on a mountain overlooking nature at its finest, or watching the sun rise or set as the painted colors illuminate the sky. The Lord's attention to every detail is completely amazing...creation can't help but glorify the Maker of Heaven and Earth. It's in these moments that I'm humbled by the fact that He cares more for me than these marvels, that I am more precious than these in His sight. So, while I may be an ordinary girl, I am confidently expecting Him to use me in extraordinary ways.

Blessings!
