There is a God
So I have been thinking about this all week and I finally decided just to post about it. God is awesome. I went to Pheonix this past week and it was soo beautiful. I have never been west of Illinois so it was new territory for me. I never realized the whole world wasn't flat and had corn everywhere. There is this thing called mountains. Yeah, I've never seen those before. They are AMAZING. They are huge. I was just in awe. We drove to Sedona, and I just stared out the window at their gorgeousness... if that is even a word. It should be.
Ok. So onto my thoughts I guess. How can you not believe there is a God? I asked Taryn this week. How can you look at something like the mountains and not believe there is a God. Or how can you look at an ocean, and not believe there is a God. The mountains are absolutely massive. If you can tell I was just in shock. So all week I've been pondering this and just in awe of God's work.
So then tonight, I go to read and I open to Psalms 33.
6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made,
their starry host by the breath of his mouth.
7He gathers the waters of the sea into jars
he puts the deep into storehouses.
Seriously. How can you not say wow.
But then I got thinking. Illinois is beautiful too. Just because we don't have mountains and gorgeousness doesn't mean it's not His. When the plane was landing yesterday I was watching out the window. We are sooo green here. No green in Arizona. We have gorgeous greenness. Yeah, I'm just making up words left and right. Illinois is beautiful too, and we need to thank God everyday for that too. We can look around here and see there is a God.
So now, I'll leave you with a song you are all too familiar with. I find myself singing it when I look at nature and see how beautiful it is.
Indescribable, uncontainable,
You put the stars in the sky and you know them by name.
You are amazing God!
All powerful, unchangeable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees and we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God, you are amazing God.
Indescribable, uncontainable,
You see the depths of my heart and you love me the same
You are amazing God!
Love ya all!

I agree... I was just thinking that God must share our love of art, Kristi, because He sure does know how to create beautiful masterpieces of art. He also gave us a great palette to exercise our photography endeavors.
Big words, sorry.
Anyway, when you ask, "How can you not believe there is a God?" it does seem to make me sad that people would go on doubting His majesty when they can just look outside the window and see it, yet what a reinforcing factor it can be for us when we come to appreciate his nature. Alright. Enough said- great post, Kristi.

And it is wonderful for the rest of the uncreative unartistic world to be able to enjoy God's wonders and beauty by the talent He has given you through photography...thank you for using it and allowing me to enjoy it...Glad you girls had a fun trip!
I appreciate your FAITH! Keep on spouting the LORD's wonderfulness... and remember Michigan is the greatest state and God has really blessed it too!
