The sky

Every morning if I wake up on time, I can see the Father's beautiful creations in the atmosphere. The pink and yawning clouds, glowing with the morning sun. I try not to swerve as I stare at the bright white and silver masses greeting me. Its so beautiful. And this morning, there was just enough haze over the sun that I could stare right at it, big, orange and perfect. It reminded me of its noctural better half glowing like that.

Speaking of, I dont know if I like day or night better. Dusk and dawn are definitely some of the most beautiful things in the world, but I could stare at the stars forever. If there's any one thing that makes me doubt and understand God's might and glory at the same time, its the night sky. The constellations amaze me because the image we see is hundreds, thousands, if not billions of years old. The galaxies, the moons, the planets, it all is a small glimse of His character. To make things that gigantic and perplex that we are barely scratching the surface of figuring out how and why they are there. The sky, the universe stirs my heart and my affections for my King. Oh how I long for Him when I see His beautiful atmosphere.

And God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years, and let them be lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth." And it was so. - Genesis 1:14,15

Oh Tara... Where have you been all my life? I miss you. You should be an astronaut. When you are, bring me a star from many lightyears ago. Love you.
