Lightning Show

tonight there was the most amazing beautiful show in Chicago. it was performed in the sky, amidst the clouds. Lightning, dancing around to the beat of music i could almost hear. i absolutely LOVE it when i can sit and be still and marvel at God's handiwork! i see the world in a new way, capturing a normal occurance with amazement and awe. He does this for us so we know we are loved and special to Him.

my dear friend, Heidi, had her own show this past weekend. it did not consist of lightning, literally, but it did light up her spirit! time spent with a cherished friend can pull back the dark curtain to illuminate the truth of the good inside and the joy of the love equally shared. and for her to share it with me, lights me up too. our gratitude goes out to God who is faithfully by our side providing it all.

what good is it to overanalyze, hold it inside and have regret? much better to be candid, love from the heart, and be who you are with confidence!! that is life worth living!

i wish i had a photo of the show for you to see but i guess it would not be as spectacular as seeing it and feeling it in person! i bet you've had a show put on for you today, did you see it/feel it? i'm looking forward to seeing another tomorrow!
