Have you ever tried to explain what a sunset looks like to someone who has never seen one, or maybe a sunrise? What if a blind person walked up to you and asked you to tell them what it looks like. What would you say? They wouldn't know the colors that are so intense or how a sunset can symbolize the most gentle form of an all powerful God! So why can sunsets stun you or make you cry because of raw beauty? Why does everyone stop, turn and stare when the sun gently dips below the horizon?
 I believe that a sunset was made to give you just a very small glimpse of the beauty of heaven.  A sunset is perfect, no one can change the colors, no one can rush it, and even Bill Gates can't buy a sunset. The sunset is free to do what God made it to do, put us in utter awe. In a way a sunset is similar to its Creator, it is so beautiful, so perfect, yet a sunset is fleeting. a sunset will eventually give way to the night. God is never fleeting, He will not give way to the darkness, He is always light. There is so much more to God then there is to a sunset. God loves, He IS love. He cares for us. Like a sunset God does not need anyone. He wants us! God is not more powerful if I love Him or not, God does not need to give us the beauty of sunsets and sunrises. He wants to. God loves us so much that He gives us a sunset, the stars, the moon, to show us how much He loves us. are you understanding this? He. Loves. You. He loves the fact that I love His stars, His sunsets. God wants us to look at a sunset and feel how much He loves us. It's like with every sunset He is saying, " hey did you see that?  See how beautiful that is? I love you way more then that sunset."   He loves me. He wants me. He loves You. He wants you. I don't know about you but that puts me in more awe then a sunset ever will. God is love.

currently in love with!!

      Heres just a few of what I currently in love with!!

The artist in that little side bar right over there > yup Jimmy Needham, love love love!!! He has a very funky sound, kinda Jason Mraz/Michael Buble sound but you can totally take his lyrics to the bank! Super sound! lovve!!

Snow!! I always love snow around this time.. now to only have some would be perfect!!

Skirts and dresses.. I wear them pretty much all the time now! Soo nice, and with it being winter I don't work so this is the perfect times to wear them!

Boots! I have fuggs ( fake- uggs) I'm way to cheap to buy the real deal. Mine are dark brown and so very warm!!

Getting dressed up for no reason. Getting all pretty just to walk around the house is nice too! Don't get me wrong I am a sucker for flannels and a sweatshirt but getting dressed up is so much fun!

Driving... I recently got my license and driving is awesome! It's so fun to get in the car and sing sing sing (and control the music :D) its all good to be a passenger too!

Hugs- I have never been a super huggy person is you know what I mean, its my personal space and I would like to keep it that way.. but there is just something about getting a hug that will brighten up your day!

Journals- normally when I do my Bible I just write on scraps of paper and tuck them into my Bible but then someone moves my Bible and they all fall out into a big mess. For Christmas I received a journal and it is so pretty and I absolutely love it!

A new Bible- a leather one with flowers on it to be exact! my old one is a little torn up.. it looks like it went through a war zone.. which it kinda did. I haven't used my new one very much as leaving my old one seems like it would be leaving a old friend who has gone through a lot with me. So little by little I am transferring to the new one. Don't laugh at me I'm just a touch sentimental with stuff like this!

I think that is it for now! Thanks for reading my ramblings!

My lips will shout for joy, when I sing praises to you; my soul also, which you have redeemed. Psalm. 71:23
