We're Not A Mystery to You


Remember how I said I wanted to use this blog as an outlet for honesty? Here goes...
Right now I'm scared. I've never been without a job before, and although I've only been in Denver a week, it feels like an eternity. Not having the stability of regular employment is throwing me for a humongous loop. That's why this song has been on continuous playback in my car lately. I love the truths of God's word and God's attributes expressed in it.

When I'm feeling like the world's out of control, I can remember that the Lord is in control. He holds everything together!

When I feel like the Lord hasn't provided everything for me in the time frame that I WANT, I can remember that He has my best interests at heart!

When the loneliness and unfamiliarity of a new place and new people makes my heart ache, I can remember that He loves me and is always with me no matter what!

When I feel like I'm a mystery even to myself, I remember that I'm not a mystery to God - He knows me completely and intimately, and knows the words on my tongue and the thoughts in my head before they even come to fruition!

So even if you're not going through the same things as me, please take the time to listen to this song and remember God's truths along with me.

In Awe and Wonder

Doesn't this photo just take your breath away?! The Grand Canyon is one of my favorite places on earth - I had the chance to visit it for the first time this summer and desperately want to go back and see more! It's unbelievably gorgeous and such a stunning example of the beauty of God's creation. In fact, it's on my 30 For 30 List (see # 30)!

If you do nothing else today ...


...please take the time to watch this. It's long, but SO worth it!

Blessings,

My first glimpse of the glorious Rocky Mountains ... my new home!

(Pardon the photo - I took it with my cell phone as I am not quite up & running with the technology yet)
