I have the perfect view of the most beautiful sunsets right outside my window when I sit on my brothers bed. I set up our room so that when he's not staying here, I can use his bed to study on. but most of the time I find that I am distracted by the bright colors God used to paint the sky at dusk. In fact, I'm having trouble concentrating on this blog right now because it's 7:48 and the sun is gone and only a peachy-colored sky remains over the blue mountains.
I get told by at least one person everyday that I am small, tiny, petite, baby-sized... or however you want to say it but most of the time I just take it as a complement and move on. I like being small. For whatever reason tonight I feel extra small and I'm not talking about the 18 year old that can shop in the "girls" section in the mall or buy size 4 shoes or even the fact that I can take middle schoolers to Rockbridge with me and one of my girls is confused for the leader, and me for the camper. No, I'm talking me compared to God.
I feel like the sky is something that little kids look at and wonder about like "mommy! why is the sky blue?" but I've really been wondering; if the sky seems to be this endless mass of, well, space I guess, then how big is my God that created it?!
This always makes me think of the film "How Great is Our God" by Louie Gigleo (This is an amazing thing to watch. everytime I watch it I learn something even more amazing than the time before.) In the movie, he goes on about how BIG the universe is that our God created. Then he switches over to talk about the very small things that make our body work; also created by God. I think the thing that catches me so off guard when I watch that movie is the point that our God is so big and He created so many awesome things but yet, He cares so much about us even though we are imperfect and weak humans. What a caring God we have!!
Thank you Lord that you have painted me a beautiful sunset and thank you that you love me with an everlasting love.
Love, Lauren
