Soaring! How could I forget soaring!?!?!
Hey all
This afternoon I went up to flagstaff. For those of you who don't live here that is a look out place on the flatiron mountains that you can see all of Boulder. This a favorite get away of mine and now that it's stinkin hot in my non air conditioned house I need to get away!
I was up there just reading, looking out over the city and praying when I caught a glimpse of something. There was this flock of about 7 big birds just gliding around. I swear I watched them and they only flapped their wings maybe once every 5 minutes. They were soaring! As I was driving up to this spot I was wondering about money and work and all the different little things that can take up so much of my time. But as I sat there I remebered the verses in Matthew were Jesus tells us to "look at the birds of the air, they do not toil, but if the Father clothes the birds of the air, how much more will He take care of you" (I am paraphrasing there)
Oh how I needed this reminder! I don't need to strive for His love. I don't need to be just right and perfect for his love, I don't need to look for His love everywhere and wait for everything in my life to be perfect before I feel His love. It just is. Everytime I wake up, Everytime I am able to breath, in the beauty of the skys. That is how simple and yet awe inspiring His love is.
God continue to remind me that I was made to soar!
