BIG BEAUTY IN SMALL PLACES

Have you ever just took the time to look at God's small but incredible creations? Flowers take forever to look this beautiful, then in what seems like overnight, they wilt and die. I'm sure that the day I paused to take this picture it didn't dawn on me that this flower was going to bridge a spiritual gap for me. Is life really that predictable?! On your death bed what are you going to remember, a small flower that took your breath away when you were 27, probably not but God puts the biggest beauty in the smallest places. When I'm wilting I only hope to remember this perfect little flower and smile because it stopped me in my tracks and made me realize the paradise of pure beauty and peace I have to look forward to in Heaven! 



And he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom." Jesus replied, "Truly, you will be with me today in paradise." (Luke23:42-43)





Nite y'all

MY OWN LITTLE WORLD

In my own little world it hardly ever rains
I've never gone hungry or always felt safe
I got some money in my pocket shoes on my feet
In my own little world
Population me

Have you ever stopped to think that your own little world is not about you? How do you want to contribute to this world? You cant end world hunger but you can feed the hungry little girl down the street. You cant make world peace but you can end a family feud by a kind word.  God opens doors that you think your not strong enough to go through but he does this to show you what you are capable of doing for Him. When my dad died in May I just knew I was going to die of a broken heart ( I know your thinking that's extreme) but the truth of the matter is my heart still isn't healed. Truthfully I don't think it ever will be but the fact of the matter is that God used this as a way to be more sensitive to others needs. Now my heart aches for everyone no matter how big or small their hurt is. God showed me that their was a place for people like me, its to be the shoulder to lean on for people who are in need of grace.

We all arrive here in this place,
Imperfect people in need of grace.
But that's why god sent his only son to die,
So that every broken heart could have a life inside.
So, just open up your broken heart
