My work day today started off with a trip to Kiawah Island for a photo shoot. Getting out of the office for this "sit-at-a-desk-and-stare-at-a-computer-screen-eight-hours-a-day" girl was a real treat! Not to mention it involved driving under the beautiful live oak trees of Bohicket Road and taking in the sights of the island. Earlier that morning (as I was getting ready for my day), I had the Salvador song "When I Pray" in my head (here are links to both the lyrics and a song download).
This song perfectly explains how I feel so often... I look at the earth and all of the amazing things around me, and I just don't understand why God -- who created the earth -- would want to be so involved in my little life. In comparison to everything else, my life seems so minor. So I ask myself, "Does he really want to talk to me?" And yet I continue to find, over and over again, that the answer is "yes." But my human mind just doesn't get it! I feel like I'm a 13-year old girl, who has a crush on that dreamy, out-of-reach boy in my English class... and then I find out that he likes me, too! I get all nervous and my hands get sweaty when I see him walking over to talk to me, because all I can think is, "No way!!! Really?!" My God makes me feel like that girl. I just don't get it (and perhaps I'm not supposed to -- He's God, after all). It amazes me that He has the time (and Lord knows eNeRgY) for me, and that He just wants to be with me. Wow...
From my heart,

said... That is so true and so well spoken. He is an amazing God who still takes time to love me.
Cool stuff.
