I love the sky. I am constantly drawn to it. I like to sleep with the blinds open so I can see the sky as I fall asleep and as I wake up. I go rushing outside at night to see the moon before I go to bed. I will sit and just stare up at the stars. I love sitting under a blazing blue sky and letting the sun just soak into me. I call the color of the sky "God's Blue". If anyone else attempts sky blue, it just looks garish and bad. Only God can pull off his blue and he totally surrounds us with it. Today, when I took a break to head outside with my journal and do some praying under a blazing blue sky, I started imagining what it must have been like when Moses was in God's presence.
"Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and the seventy elders of Israel went up and saw the God of Israel. Under his feet was something like a pavement made of sapphire, clear as the sky itself." (Exodus 24:9-10)
When I read the descriptions that people in the Bible have written of seeing God, it takes my breath away. What they see can't even be fully described. But today, when I saw that sky, I wondered if God has given us just a shadowy glimpse of the glory we will see when we are with him. My insides get all trembly when I think of seeing God, but my heart just about leaps out of me at the anticipation.

A place I created to collect and share some of my journey as a child of God and a follower of Jesus Christ mostly because I don't get to share nearly enough of it on a daily basis with those I love.
There, peeping above the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for awhile. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up and out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing; there was light and high beauty forever beyond its reach. J.R.R. Tolkien

- I am on the journey of life which right now involves raising 2 boys, being married to my highschool sweetheart (who is still a sweetheart), homeschooling, and teaching whoever will listen. Mostly I am learning what it means to be loved by Jesus and learning to love him back.
