yellow

So, I went back last night and read my very first post. In it I said that the point of my blog would be to record that I had seen beauty, that I had seen God, that I had lived that day.

I have strayed a bit from this original vision. So today… how have I seen God? What beauty did I see? How did I truly dig into life?

I took some time to read the Bible first thing this morning. I'm trying to understand Job a bit. It's pretty tough reading, but I came across a verse that stuck out to me.

"If He should determine to do so, If He should gather to Himself His spirit and His breath, All flesh would perish together, And man would return to dust." (Job 34:14–15)

Good reminder of Who's really in control.

I saw a yellow wall today, about 8 feet high. It's like their version of a fence around property—a cement wall, usually topped with broken glass or barbed wire. Friendly place, isn't it? Anyway, the wall was yellow, and draped over it were about 10 towels, all shades of yellow as well. I enjoyed the monochromatic moment, but was unable to capture it with my camera.

Mr. was also beautiful today. Once again I had many plans and not enough time to do them. So he spent over an hour making a supper that I had promised to guests who were coming over. He is very patient with me. And a good cook, by the way.

And I felt most alive when I was connecting with people today. I met a lady for lunch and we talked about life for about two hours. We (Mr. and I) then had a few people over for supper and to watch the Amazing Race. We ate together and we laughed together and I watched them feel comfortable in our house. That makes me feel good.

Am I worried? Am I feeling overwhelmed by a few things? Yes. Of course. But for tonight, I'm going to just focus on these more positive aspects of my life. I know God is going to work the other stuff out.
