God is the ultimate artist

Wow! Just in case you missed one of the most awesome sunrises ever, I  took this picture for you. This was taken the first week of January at about 7am. When I started to drive out of our development I saw this off in a distance and immediately turned around, went back home, dashed in and got the camera and then quickly looked for the best place to snap a quick picture. In the past I have tried to do this and kept driving, trying to get the best place to get a good view, only to find that I had missed the moment now that I was finally ready.

God gives us great opportunities, not only when it comes to picture taking, put in other daily experiences. Sometimes the opportunities are only available to us in a limited time period. If we hesitate we will find that we too have missed the moment or the opportunity to experience something great.

We need to learn to let loose of the feeling that we are in charge and that we are in control of our schedules and our lives. We need to learn to trust God and act and respond to him in his time. Next time your plans seem to be unraveling or your day is just not going according to your plan, take a moment to stop whatever you are doing. Try to take the opportunity to see that maybe, just maybe God is trying to reach you and has a better plan at this moment. Maybe it is a moment where someone else needs your help. Trust God! Open yourself to his calling. You too may just be ready to experience something awesome!
