like cannons in the night

As you probably know, last night around 4am was the best time to see the Leonid meteor shower. I, of course, took full advantage of the fact that I live at the beach; I went with a friend around 3 in the morning down to the south end of Wrightsville to watch the meteors. I have never actually seen a meteor shower, or even a shooting star. So this was a new experience for me. Although it wasn’t quite what I was expecting, it was beautiful nonetheless.

We ended up staying out on the beach and watching the sun rise also. I’m from the mountains so I grew up spending a lot of time outdoors; I love being surrounded by nature, whether it’s hills and trees or sand and ocean. One of my favorite things to do is just bask in the beauty of creation. It’s just so amazing to me, everything He created. Whenever I actually stop and take the time—which is actually often—to notice how magnificent and breathtaking our world is, it reminds me just how big and sovereign He really is. To know that the God I serve created every single detail of this beautiful world we live in, just makes me feel so much more secure in His promise to take complete care of me.


"You are holy, great and mighty
The moon and the stars declare who You are
I'm so unworthy, but still You love me
Forever my heart will sing of how great You are"
