There is nothing that reminds me more of the Lord and His presence in my life than a beautiful sunrise or sunset...I've had a weird week...more changes and busyness than usual...and feeling overwhelmed...I used to think I could handle a lot...but the Lord reminded me this week that I am not strong in my own strength...I am not immune to emotions...I do need people...I make mistakes at things I think I'm good at...and I can't do this life on my own. Wow...no wonder I've felt overwhelmed!
This week I have needed grace...from people and from the Lord. One morning I was getting ready for work and had to take my puppy outside to go potty. While I was standing there I looked over to the east and saw a beautiful, pink sky and the sun rising around Mt Hood (I actually can see part of the mountain from my front porch on clear days). I stood there and gasped at how BEAUTIFUL it was. I went inside and continued to get ready and left not much later. When I started driving I looked at the sky that had puffy clouds with a beautiful pink and purple sky. I was AMAZED at the beauty and the fact that my Savior, my Friend had created the sun...I felt like the sunrise was just for me that morning as I felt sapped of strength. I remembered as I praised the Lord that He is with me...He is faithful...He can make the sun rise each and every morning and can handle my little problems and insecurities and fears! He loves ME!
I am humbled by his GRACE...amazed at his BEAUTY...and determined to live full of his STRENGTH and not my own!
