Sunshine on my shoulders...

Today I was off of work and I sat at the lake. All. day. You have no idea how much I love that.

I have so much to do all the time. My truck is 2,000 miles over needing an oil change. I haven't paid my bills. My grass needs to be mowed. But today I didn't think about that. I didn't stress and worry. I just sat there. I sat in the sun and read and slept. It was so amazing.

I feel closest to God when I am outside...like I can feel Him standing next to me...whispering in my ear. And today...on this holiest of days...the day when the God of Creation sent His son to die for my sins....I felt like it was very fitting for me to glory in that Creation. I know that I wouldn't be here without Him. I would be nothing. I don't deserve what He did for me; but I'm so grateful.

Sometimes I just love to shut out those other voices and focus in on who He is and who I am. How can you do that and not be in awe? It's overwhelming. I pray that for you today...that you take time - even if it is just a moment - to reflect on that fact. The God of this world sent his only son to this Earth to die. And he would have done it for ONLY YOU.

Hosanna...
