I really need to start posting before my mom does, because she always steals the pictures!! :) Just kidding. Aren't the pictures of Desoto Falls gorgeous??? I absolutely loved it - except for the fact that it was chilly and very, very windy. Brrr!!! :) How are the Floridians coping with the cold weather?
I want to share with you an awesome experience I had a few nights ago. I was lying in bed, everyone was going to sleep, and I grabbed my MP3 and headphones and turned on the radio. I searched around a little bit for a station. I found one just as a song was ending, and closed my eyes to listen to the next. The song I heard was so beautiful I almost cried. It didn’t actually have any words to it, which I actually liked. It was tranquil and soothing, like waves gently crashing on the beach. Behind all the peaceful tones there was an instrument playing that created a joyful aroma that perfumed the tune like flowers perfume the air. It perfectly illustrated how I should act towards others, with gentle kindness, peaceful patience, loving compassion, and overflowing joy.
I definitely sensed the Holy Spirit talking to me in that song. I’m very, very thankful for it, and this might sound weird, but I’m actually kind of surprised that it even happened. Lately it’s been kind of hard for me to talk with God. It’s strange, because I’ve never really felt awkward praying – not like this, anyway. I think maybe I’m realizing how sacred prayer is, and it makes me a little nervous. Or maybe I’m just feeling a bit distant from God right now.
In conclusion, I want to tell y’all about a passage a girl I know shared with me: Job 9, especially verses one through twenty. It intensely describes how powerful and supreme our God is. I hope you have a chance to read it!!
