The beauty around us..

Some days I stand in awe at our beautiful creation. Today on our way to church I saw a gorgeous sunset (I wished I had my camera with me but I’ll hold it in my memories). It’s beautiful to see how God can paint the sky so many different ways, not once the same as the time before. So many colors, compositions, and variety; He is truly an artist.

And today after church I looked up at the moon (which was gorgeous) and saw something that stood out, there was a faded cloud around the moon resembling and X and an O … Right away I’m thinking xo=hugs & kisses haha and thought how cute that God set that up to show us some love. And then I started thinking how He does that often, in the way a leaf falls smoothly off a tree, a beautiful flower stands out against the green grass, the way a butterfly or bird flies by, the way He sends us beautiful shells at the beach and so many more ways. We just have to open our eyes, feel the wind, and listen to His whispers and look for His fingerprints. So many times we get caught up in life and our routines an we forget to stop and enjoy (I’m guilty of this as well).

So this week I challenge you to stop in the middle of the chaos and look for God’s fingerprints and nature. :)

 This is one of the most beautiful sunrises I have ever seen, it was on our way back from my friends house sometime around 4 am and as I was almost falling asleep I noticed this beautiful sunrise. I quickly took out my camera and took this photo through the back of the car window. I have never seen the clouds create a shadow like this before, it was truly a stunning moment.

I decided to pair this photo up with the quote “Do not worry…” because you can see how He is in control to such a high point that He tells the clouds and the sun and the mountains where to stand & even move. :] If He can control so much, He will also take care of us.

This photograph was taken at a beautiful beach right after the rain and it seemed to go perfect with my favorite verse in the bible;

I’ve been through alot in my life but I can say there was a major point (sometime during the end of HighSchool) where I realized God is with us and has a plan for each one of us. At that point I decided no matter what happens that I will trust in Him and that He will direct my path, His will for my life.

There are time and will be times when my situation will not make sence to me at the moment but I know it’ll be clear in the end. I went to a community college with a plan and through college God has opened doors (and closed some) and I was able to see Him working. And long story short I have learned alot which I did not expect; to be a leader, to be organized, to give up my time for others, to be social, and more. But some doors also closed for me (at least for now). Most of you know that I wanted to become an architect. I finished my time at the community college and was about to transfer this January (had everything set up to start). And through the process of getting ready to move out and go to a new school I constantly prayed for His will to be done [at the time thinking that He'll protect me and help me on this new journey]. I did not expect the curve ball that happened; Financial Aid wasn’t able to help me and I did not even come close to being able to afford the school. A few days before I was suppose to move I realized this was not going to happen. Now I will not say that it might not happen in a year or a few but I do believe with all my heart that God planned for this. I’ve seen His guidance and fingerprints in my life leading to this point and He doesn’t make mistakes. So now, even though I’m not sure what will happen… I am excited to see what He has planned… His plans are ALWAYS better than my own. :)
