Breathtaking beauty---The World Through My Eyes

So I started this thing because I wanted to have a voice.  I'm not really sure what my voice will say though.  I hadn't really gotten that far.   Mostly, I think of something awesome to write about and hope that people will care enough to read it and by reading it be inspired in some way.  I don't expect anyone will be 'inspired' by this post, however, because I'm mostly just rambling.  I guess I just want people to see the world through my eyes, but I don't know how to let them except through my writing. 
Sometimes I see something beautiful and I feel like I could conquer anything.  I can't describe the feeling with words.  I guess maybe I can try to explain what I mean.  I absolutely LOVE looking up and seeing hot air balloons crossing the summer sky with scattered white clouds intermittently painted across the wide blue expanse.  I find that view breathtaking.  In that moment, I'm in awe of God the amazing painter.  Have you ever looked at all the intricate details of nature and said 'God isn't real?'  It's impossible for me to see something so beautiful and not believe in the Creator. 
I also think that the refining of a life through the fire is rich and beautiful.  Although going through the fire is painful, coming out on the other side, refined like gold, is totally worth it.  When you are in the middle of it, you might not think that because being in pain sucks.  Believe me when I say I know how you feel.  Just wait, cling to God in those painful times.  Don't cling to worldly things because they will not help you come through on the other side of the fire.  Only God can do that.

Keep moving forward---try not to get stuck in a rut.  If you do, don't beat yourself up.  Just try and climb out, keep trying until you do.
