You make everything

Just got back from a mini ski/snowboard vacation at boyne with 16 friends.
It was truly amazing. I am one of those people who experiences God through nature, maybe it’s the runner in me, but wow. There’s something about being on top of a mountain and knowing that the Creator of that mountain also created you…and then knowing the Creator intimately…mind blowing. Being on the top of a mountain, gazing out onto landscapes of more mountains, snow laden trees, the open waters under Mackinac bridge, all with the sun relentlessly trying to pierce through the clouds. God is so HUGE, then a tiny snowflake can land on my goggles, so intricately designed, each flake on the mountain and in the air, different from the next, and He designed each one! This atmosphere changes your heart when songs like you make everything glorious, who am I, hosanna, glory of it all, and so many other songs that bring praise to such a king… it brings His greatness to a new level.

it was also a great 'retreat' to get away from the grind. i love working with student, i love giving council to friends, i love technology (instant communication), i love it all...most of the time. i feel like i was completely recharged by God. Filled up to the brim and ready to overflow!! I LOVE IT!

i think i fell in love with God again. i'm embarassed to say that sometimes when i read the psalms they all run together for me. if i'm not FOCUSING then after a few they all start to sound the same....but this weekend psalm 63 just ran through my mind over and over and over. to thirst for God, to long for Him. to know in our heart that His love is BETTER THAN LIFE!

what a God!!
