Lost in You

I follow the thunderclouds as they travel across the sky

and I wonder at Your majesty

It gives me thoughts to ponder

and it fills my mind with hope!

I watch the sun set over the sea

and I am in awe of Your imagination

It sparks a song deep within me

and my heart sings with joy!

I look into the eyes of my newborn child

and I marvel at Your grace

It creates a wellspring of emotion

and my soul bursts with Your love!

When You have touched me,

mind, heart and soul,

I long to be with You forever

and I am Yours.

I attended a Mothers Of Preschoolers (MOPS) group for a few months very early in my Christian walk.  I was just beginning to learn to trust Him with my life and MOPS helped in so many ways.  I saw practical examples of how to live out my faith, I met Eileen, my mentor, and I met Nicole, who became the sister I never had.

At first, I felt we had nothing in common.  I only knew her name because she was part of my small group.  I never thought we would form a friendship, and I'm sure she felt the same about me.

The beginning of the second session, something changed.  Prompted by God, Nicole sent me a note of encouragement when I needed some support.  I thought it was odd, I mean, she wasn't even in my small group anymore!  But the note touched me enough that I called her.  I remember spending hours with her on the phone, just talking about our children, our families and our love for the Lord.  She helped me to see things in new ways and helped me open my heart to allow God to work in my life.

We have since formed a bond that has touched us both.  We are more than friends, we are sisters in Christ.  I have grown so much thanks to her love and support.  I'm so happy that the Lord created this special relationship for us.

You see, after we became friends, we both stopped attending MOPS.  There seemed to be no reason to go any longer.  We had fulfilled God's purpose for that time in our lives.  Isn't it remarkable that our heavenly Father, who commands the thunder and the seas, cares enough to orchestrate our lives with such love and foresight?  We are all a part of the wonderful symphony of His creation.

Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.

            Psalm 150:6 (NIV)

Can you see the hand of God all around you?  Do you praise Him when you see evidence of His majesty?  God is everywhere, from the most breathtaking view to the smallest detail of your everyday life.

Will you praise Him today?

Father, You are an awesome God.  I thank You for the sunsets, the flowers, the trees, the way You move in my life.  Help me to always listen for Your still, small voice to guide and direct me.
