Sailboats, Sunsets, and the Deep Blue Sea

I love those moments in life where you can just sit and stare at your surroundings and ask yourself how anyone can doubt that God created the beautiful world we live in. Maybe I'm just a little too optimistic but I love being out on open water. Racing around at night while the sun is setting with 30 other boats around you is such an amazing sight. Of all times I forget to bring a camera home with me, I forgot to bring one this week. The weather is amazing, and just cruising around having the sun shine down on you and reflecting off the water is a great way to kick off summer. I don't know... I kind of just have a vibe that this summer is going to be a good one. :)

God is Moving... DUH!

So I took a little vacation this weekend. Not that I went anywhere exotic or too exciting, I just wanted to get away for a little bit. I ended up in Syracuse to see a friends final thesis which was a fashion show. It was really amazing to see and you could tell how much time and work the designers put into their outfits. I stuck around to goto the zoo and hangout for a little bit longer, but for me the memorable part of the trip was Jojo's senior night. Sounds weird right? I mean I'm not a part of their church nor do I know more than five people that go there. Maybe that's why it was such a blessing to see and hear.

I think that we sometimes take for granted the people around us and the circumstances surrounding us. Hearing from complete strangers that I do not know, and how the church and how God have been moving in their lives was really blessing. Granted hearing two of my friends speak about how God moved in their life was amazing, the one thing that really blew me away was this one guy I went to middle school with. We were never really close so we haven't kept in touch since I moved away six years ago. Hearing how God has shaped, transformed, and used him was a great blessing. I know I will never truly understand the vastness of God and his power, but this weekend I definitely got to catch a glimpse, and it was so blessing. :)
