Come Thou Fount

Lord what beautiful things you make!  My mother, my sister, and I went on an adventure yesterday searching for fungus with my mom's new fungus books we gave her for Christmas.  You would be amazed at how many different kinds we found!  Everything from jelly-like brown shelves to fuzzy white cups.  We tramped through the "woods" (also known as Moss Wright park) specifically looking for the little decomposers that God so wonderfully made.  If we hadn't been looking for them we probably wouldn't have found them.  Which reminds me of a certain thing we do as humans.  God plants little things for us in our lives, little secrets that He hopes so much we will find as we march through our (hate this word) busy lives.  And being as human as we are we don't find them unless we try to find them.  Me and my wonderful friend had a phone conversation on how we can try to find God when sometimes were clueless as to exactly what to look for.  But the truth of the matter is, that He shows us Himself everyday of our lives, all we have to do is learn how to notice Him.  If we hadn't known to look under dead limbs and rotting leaves, then my mom, my sister, and I wouldn't have been able to find all the fungus we did.  Just like that, God will show Himself to you, all we have to do is educate ourselves on our beautiful God.

Creature Fear

hello world! it's been a while. i was just thinking about happiness and how sometimes (not always in a good way) it defines who we are as people. so many of us (myself included) are always searching for happiness whether it be from people, objects, relationships, music, etc...but from past experience i've ultimately found happiness and true contentment in God by constantly thanking Him for my blessings, friends, family, and the little things that aren't really that little; also, i really connect with God by being outside in His beauty that he created oh so tenderly for us.  but everyone is different and that's what makes the relationship with God so special and unique with each of us. it makes me truly HAPPY to think about such things.
