Rainbow Chasing

One of my favorite things to do is to look at God's Artwork. I love looking at the artwork He creates that we as human have no control over, such as the sky. For me, my favorite time of the day to look at His art is when the sun is setting. That is when I have seen the most beautiful colors I have ever seen. (A thought that goes through my mind is "wow these colors are so amazing and incredible that I cannot imagine the colors that the Lord has for us to see in Heaven.") Sunsets bring me to a stop. They allow me to be in awe and to praise my Creator.

I believe that sunsets are a way to help and remind us how precious life's moments are and how we should try to live and feel the moments that we are given. A sunset reminds me that I have been given that moment to feel what I am witnessing and this is something that I should take with me in all the moments of my life. Through all the days that we have been alive we have witness every morning the sun rises and every evening the sun sets. How blessed are we that God choose two times during our day to be able to watch the transition from night to day and to day from night. We are able to witness the sky changing. There is the key word, "changing." Just as the sky changes colors and transitions from day to night so do our lives. Here is a little cycle that I like to relate to our lives.

During the day there is light. We go about our daily lives doing the things we do, seeing the people we see, things are good, we feel pretty comfortable. Then as the sun begins to set we see these amazing colors and the beauty in the sky that just brings us to a stop and we are in awe. This could be compared to things in our life that we have prayed for such as a new job, a spouse, a child, a new friend, any type of blessing that we recognize. Our faith perhaps can feel so strong. We see this amazing sky and we feel so blessed. Then the slowly sun sets and night arrives. There is darkness. We all come across darknesses in our lives. My type of darkness may be completely different than another person's darkness and the definitions of darkness may vary but darkness happens. However, because of that sunset you saw before your darkness you keep having faith, knowing that in the morning the sun will rise and colors will be drawn in the sky and you will see the beautiful art that God has drawn which than will turn into the light of the day.

God loves us so much that He chose to make this a part of our daily lives. A way to remind us that if we trust and have faith in Him that the light will always shine.

*I absolutely love looking at God's Artwork and sharing it with as many people as I can. Photo's allow us to share the beauty that we witness when they cannot be there with us. I think that one of my biggest desires is to share God's Art with as many people as I can in person because I pray they can feel the excitement I feel when I'm watching the sky be painted into indescribable colors. My roommates call me "Rainbow Chaser" because of my desire to capture those moments of God speaking to us through painting colors in the sky. If you don't stop and take a look, you might miss it.

Below are some of my favorite pictures some of my friends and myself have taken. Amazing!

Psalm 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.

God Bless!!
