Work of Art

Last night one of the most amazing sunsets I have ever gotten to experience. The sun was radiant, and shining through the clouds above. It reminded me of this book my mom used to read me. It was something about a man going to Heaven and painting the sunrise and sunsets everyday.



God truly is an artist. He paints the most magnificent wonders for us to see everyday. I might complain sometimes because I'm in Longview. I might not be as content as I think I would be living on the Ocean, but I am going to watch for God's amazing artwork. I see it in the people around me in Longview. I am completely blessed to have happy, peaceful souls to create the same in me.

Today I found my place on earth. I found a place that is beautiful, quiet, and take your breath away amazing. The water was strong, and just showed God's great power. The rocks were a reminder of the interruptions in life, but how perfect they make everything. The waves were perfect for surfing, but only because of the way the rocks interrupted the tide. This is a perfect example of life. The rocks in life might be hard to get over or through, but the outcome is perfect in all God's ways. They create the perfect adventures in life.

I am in awe of my God today. I am grateful for Mrs. Ruth, and her encouragement. I am blessed to have her here when I needed some company the most. Not only company, but reassurance. She has given me this at the perfect time in my life. She has just spoken words of kindness and wisdom since getting here. I am truly truly blessed. She has been a blast because she is just as adventurous as I am. She loves to explore, get lost, and find God's magnificent creation. This is exactly the adventure I love. It's a great last few days in paradise.

I am ready to get home. I miss a puppy, my house, and a few special people. :) I will not complain about the cold. I will be incredibly content, and I will see God's work of art daily in my life.

Psalm 37:4
"Delight yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart."
