God Sighting | May 2, 2009

Once again at Mozart's Cafe, I was with some friends when I felt drawn to go to the edge of the water and observe what God was doing with the sky around me. As I leaned over the railing with coffee in hand, God was displaying His handiwork and opened my heart to perceive His presence in it all. It was as if time itself slowed, flowing as sweet as honey, as I gazed at the blue, pink and yellow-hued sky with its setting sun. My gaze alternately fell upon the waters, illuminated by the dazzling display above. I felt like I should gaze closer into the water to look for fish, and saw a team of three fish swim by in synchrony. The turtles even made an appearance, gradually wading their way toward where I stood, then continuing on. The depths of my soul drank in the captivating palette of colors and life that the Lord was orchestrating in that very moment. I couldn't help but literally applaud His outstanding work after it all passed, just as I applaud it right now.

Lord, burn and sear this memory into my very heart and soul, so that when clouds hang on the horizon and storms blow, that I would recall, with precise vividness, how glorious and awesome your goodness remains.
