Days like today make me cry and here's why.
Today i had to go to a baby shower for my best (unsaved) friend Stephanie. At first i didn't really want to go because i wouldn't know anybody else there but i decided to anyways and i was really glad to be there for her.
Now Stephanie lost her mother to cardiac arrest almost 9 months ago and she was very close to her mom. It was difficult for Stephanie not to have her mother there for her at the baby shower for her first baby and I was glad that i could just be there for when she needed a friend.
Well, after the baby shower i was going to head back to school but instead i stopped at the Bakers house to visit them. I was so happy to see these young children..even though they are now 14 and 16 years old now. I still see them as children. They are very dear to my heart and God has definately blessed me by knowing this family.
It was a beautiful day outside, not just weather wise, but a day of reflection on God's goodness, and how he uses people to teach us, grow us, and love us.
On the way back to school i stopped by this cemetary to look around and this particular cemetary had mostly soldiers from the Civil War, i presume. And i fell down the hill, more like slid which was so funny, i took a few pictures and then i stopped and realized that i was so glad that a cemetary is not the end of our lives.
Do you ever just take the time to go for a ride. Ponder on God's goodness, see his beauty...and thank God that you are alive and breathing today and yet earnestly long for the day when you'll get to take a beautiful walk with HIM?
My life may always be crazy and i may not know exactly where i am going or what i will be doing, or even how it will be done but i always hope that i will never take forgranted the times when i am alone in my car listening to beautiful music and looking at his creation....thinking about him, my family, and the very own beauty that God has given my life and the to the lives of those around me.
OH, what a beautiful day!
