You know, we all have those momentous events which shake our foundations and from which our lives change. But, sometimes, we get those tangible reminders of those moments.
I faced quite a challenge this past summer. Toward the end of a difficult week, I took my children to the Drive-In Theater. And as we were playing frisbee and snacking and waiting for the movie to begin, I looked up and saw this ahead of me:
God painted me an amazing picture. And it was just the reassurance of His presence that I needed.
In the days that followed, my faith was shaken and I was tested in a new and profound way. In the weeks that followed that, God began once again to change and mold me more closely into who He needs me to be. I can say with certainty that series of events changed my life for the better. Changed who I am for the better. Made me look at myself and my purpose and the world around me with a little more clarity and focus.
I was skimming through my Facebook pictures for a new one to post as my profile picture when this one struck me strongly.
This picture is that tangible reminder of one of those life-altering events for me.
How blessed am I to have this visible, tangible, memento of that difficult yet growth-inducing venture.
I'll forever look at this remembrance of that sunset and know God's ever-present, never-tiring fight for my heart.
