My first taste of change was on a morning in early August. I took a much needed mental health day from work and started my day out with a good 3 mile walk. I prayed and talked to God a lot of the way through just like I usually do, then I decided to ask Him. "God, how are you romancing me today?" then in an instant I was greeted with a crisp cool breeze. An honest 10 degrees cooler than the 101 it had already reached for the day. It lasted a few moments and made me smile, I almost began to ask again...."was that really you?" But I decided to take my gift and enjoy it. It was in that instant that I realized all this romance was going on around me constantly. I was just never still and quiet enough to see it.
I have gone back to my hustle and bustle of wedding planning and stress and once again have ignored the daily beauty our Lord bestows upon us. I made myself go on a run this evening as the sun was almost set. Midway through my run I began to think of what all the Lord has blessed me with today so that I could give thanks. As I looked up the sky was extraordinary. Just a portion of it was almost like a smoke haze. This haze was the color of a peach rose that had been dipped in champagne. It was as beautiful as your mother's antique pearls and had been sprinkled with stars that were placed perfectly to contour its body. All of this artistry had been placed over a lavender background that I could almost smell. Needless to say it was beautiful.
Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. -Psalms 150:6
