I know that I talk about nature alot…mountains, leaves, oceans etc… I just can’t help it. I am inspired by it. I truly believe that God is everywhere if we will just open our eyes and look around.
This weekend we went to the Georgia Aquarium and I am again amazed by God’s creation. Thousands of fish…some crazy looking creatures were there. Huge whale sharks that cannot swallow anything bigger than a quarter, little paranas that will eat a ton of meat in seconds. God is soooooo creative. I know that, but really…a fish that can change from male to female, a male seahorse that carries the babies, a jelly fish that glows in the dark??? What was God thinking? How could he come up with this stuff?
I guess he is the creator so that would make him the most creative artist. Mind-blowing creative. It says in the Bible that all creation testifies to his glory. I would have to agree. All creation worships him when congress will not. All creation worships him when the president will not. All creation worships him when the human world denies him. All creation worships him when I will not. He is so much bigger than the politics and world opinion and me. He is bigger than a whale shark…bigger than an ocean of whale sharks! Yet he knows each creature of the sea and each sparrow…each person…including me and you. WOW! That is hard to get my brain around. He created this world for our pleasure and for his. Open your eyes and you will see him all around you.

Thank you for being real to me Father, so real that I need not worry about your constant nearness.(Selah)
The other day I styled a lady’s hair that I know fairly well, enough to know that life is really a challenge for her. When I asked “how are you?” she replied, “I’m living life abundantly!” I love that : ) I thaught of that again while I was reading your blog. I think it fits you very well! I love you and pray for you often. – Carolyn
