I once heard a quote that said, “Beauty is one of the rare things that does not lead to the doubt of God” and I think that is so true.
This past week we went to a different village down in the rift valley (it’s hard for me to pronounce it, so I’m not even going to attempt to spell it) and I felt like every day I saw an awesome example of God’s beauty. The last night we were there we saw the COOLEST night sky I have ever seen! (Jo, you would have LOVED it). The whole entire sky was covered in bright stars, and they all seemed to be twinkling. I felt like God was smiling down on us. And the coolest part is, He created all of creation for you and me! And He put even more detail into creating each and every one of us. In Psalm 139 it talks about how God has more thoughts about each of us then there are grains of sand. And it doesn’t matter what you or I do, because He’ll NEVER stop loving us. Now that’s awesome! I don’t know about you, but that gets me so pumped up. God loves us that much!
We saw so many other cool things like random waterfalls, huge beautiful trees and mountains, the sun breaking through crazy big clouds, and so much more. Not to mention how much my teammates remind me of God’s beauty 🙂 There is no way you can doubt that God is real.
Nehemiah 9:6 says: “You alone are the Lord. You made the skies and the heavens and all the stars. You made the earth and the seas and everything in them. You preserve them all, and the angels of heaven worship you.”
I think that pretty much sums up all of creation. God is so cool! If you want to see God, He is everywhere. All you have to do is open your eyes.
Well we are back in Kijabe for now and don’t have plans to go anywhere else as of now, but we never really know because this is Africa people 🙂
Mom, Dad, Ben, Jake, Jo and everyone else I miss you so much and I’m praying for you!
Love,
🙂 Sarah
p.s I just realized I won’t get to watch Hocus Pocus this Halloween and got legitimately sad. Hope this gets a good laugh.
