As I was returning to my car at the end of my jog, I realized it was nearly time for sunset so I waited a few moments at the end of the bridge with my nearly dead cell phone in hand ready to capture God's beauty. As the sun began to set, I stood there in awe for a moment realizing that what I was actually watching was the earth spinning on its axis away from the sun. It actually happened very quickly, taking not more than a few minutes. It was an entirely surreal experience. Now I have watched sunsets before and never been this amazed by them. There was something about watching it at the end of this bridge over the ocean that was just stunning.
When I got back Uncle Steve shared a video by Lou Giglio that was totally right where I was... In Awe of Him. I think the video may have been called Indescribable... and it was about how the entire universe and all of creation sings His praise. It is true... If we don't, the rocks will cry out and give glory to God!
Later that night after dinner a bunch of us were standing around talking and one of the people in the group said something to me that I want to share with others because it was such an encouragement to me. He said to me how much watching Joy and I pray for those fish expecting them to live the day before had impacted him. He told me to never stop praying and believing God for the miracles to happen. It was such an encouragement to me and I hope it will be to others who are on this great adventure with God.
No matter what happens, whether a person gets healed or not, whether a person gets saved or not, whether the situation changes or not... Never stop praying or believing. There are going to be times when it seems like God isn't there or He isn't listening. I promise, He is always there ( He will never leave nor forsake us ) and He is always listening ( Seek and you will find, knock and it will be opened for you, ask and you will receive ).
