God’s creations

I am most impressed by God when I get out of my own little world and get into His big one. And specifically I mean get into nature.

I fell asleep the other nite staring out at the stars from our bedroom window. It’s been a long time since I’ve had a window like that where I could see out to the nite sky. And as I lay there, looking at His bigness, I felt so small. Don’t hear me wrong…I did not feel insignificant…just tiny. Tiny compared to His greatness, tiny compared to His creativeness. Talk about an artist! And I felt safe. He is pretty big, afterall, and I had this sense of relief, like “There you are, and you really do have it all under control.”

Yesterday I was driving past the mountains and said out loud, “I feel like your romancing me God.” All this beauty displayed, stretching out as far as eyes can see.

So if I feel so close to God and so tapped into His creativeness when I’m in nature, why is it that I spend so much time out of it? And is it any wonder that sometimes I feel like life is swallowing me whole. In my own little tiny world there is nothing left to be impressed with but myself, and that’s so dissatisfying.

*Note to my heart – Buy a camper and travel the country.

Or live outdoors as much as possible.

Or, as my dad would say, “Go get the stink blown off of you.”
