WOW moments with God







I made a quick trip up north this past week and as I drove I probably did a 'no-no'. I drove with the camera on the steering wheel. Although it would be against all drivers ed policies and believe me we have heard them all since Tyler is in Drivers Ed right now, I got some incredible pictures. The colors were gorgeous. I sat on the dock one night and watched the sun set. God is so incredible. Not only did He create a body that is far beyond any computer but the way he designed fall and the changing colors is beyond my comprehension. It takes all a lot of trees all changing their colors to bring out the WOW in creation. Trees are still beautiful as 'green' and trees are beautiful red, and trees are beautiful as yellow but when you put the changing colors all together and look at the picture from across the water with the reflection, it's one of those WOW moments that I cannot help but see an incredible Creator. When I look at the changes in my life, I often don't think to myself that this will make my life a Wow! I think of it as a hurt, or an inconvenience or a detour. God looks at it as just another one of the colors of His tapestry. It may be a tear but to God it's another stitch in the picture of my life that someday I will look at and say Wow; that makes the picture perfect. I looked at the setting sun the other night and praised a God who loves me so much that He was putting on a show for me; Thursday night October 9th. It was just for my eyes. It was a special time for God to talk to me; to tell me how much He loved me and that as the sun changed the horizon and every 3 minutes I had another incredible picture, I kept saying to myself, "God loves me; this is my Wow moment." We all have God Wow moments when we stop to look for them. When we stop long enough to just sit and watch God move clouds, change tree colors, fly a bird through, bring a Bald Eagle flying by the docks of our life and all just because He loves us. I hope you stop long enough to just look at the Wow moments He has for you right now, today; where ever you may be.
