"You're Beautiful." Part. 1

How often are you seized by God's goodness? Seized by nature? Seized by Godly provision?

 

During Paul's second missionary journey, he writes, "The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by human hands, as if he needed anything. Rather, he himself gives everyone LIFE and BREATH and EVERYTHING ELSE. (Acts 17:24-25) To put it simply we are needy, He is not. 

I'm currently writing this blog at my aunt and uncle's dining room table in Las Vegas on a hot Sunday afternoon. I sit here pondering what all has happened over the last week here on vacation. What has seized me?

Continuing in Acts 17 verses 26-27 says, From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boudaries of their lands. God did this so that they would SEEK him and perhaps REACH OUT for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us."

These gifts point to a Giver.

Our God is good, he is creative, and he wants to share himself.

I love my beautiful mitten shaped state of Michigan. The beautiful lake front, the green pastures, colored trees in the fall, the misty foggy mornings, and the snowcovered trees in winter. But what I love about heading westward is the gorgeous sunrises and sunsets over the mountains that leave me speechless, the dry baren but open desert, and the coolness of the mountains. As we headed even more west into CA and onto Huntington Beach for the day I stood in awe of the vast ocean, the magnificent waves, the sea breeze that brings my senses into a paradise uknown to a country girl like me. I was seized by God's magnitude, creativity, and greatness over and over on this trip.

So sorry to have to cut this short, but family time is calling me! I would love to continue sharing my thoughts...which will happen in Part 2. Get Excited. Pictures will be shown.
