It’s late Sunday morning and this is the first time I’ve been alone all weekend. Our Colorado trip has been lovely so far and we have been enjoying God’s gorgeous creation everywhere we turn. This place is full of wonder and majesty and depicts God’s creative heart so clearly. We have such a Wonderful Maker, don’t we?
As we were driving through (more like on the edge of) the mountains yesterday, Eric made the comment, “Makes you realize how small you really are, huh?” For some reason, that has been looming in the forefront of my mind ever since he said that. Sometimes I think I get so caught up in the happenings of my life, the problems I have, the drama of our world….that I forget just how tiny I am in comparison to the rest of it all. In the grand scheme of things, my life is nothing but a blink of an eye. Yet, here I am, fearfully and wonderfully made. And the same God Who created the universe, created me, exactly the way He wanted me to be. I am not usually one to be moved or enlightened by nature, but this time God hit the nail on the head with Colorado: I am so small, but my God is so big.

And yet…

The God Who formed the rushing stream, just feet away from me now, cares about the turmoil that rushes through my own heart and calms it with His mighty presence.
The God Who brings forth new life to the earth with each spring season desires to breath Life into my heart and make me new.
The God Who created the the mighty mountain ranges is strong enough to move the mountains in my life.
And the God Who sees it all, sees AND cares about the tiny, intricate parts of my life.

All I have to say at the end of this day is wow. Just wow. I am in awe of our God. I am instantly reminded of a song that I sang in Sunday School as a little girl, and now that I sing tomy own daughter. Simple, yet so real in my heart today:

My God is so big, so strong and so mighty,
There’s nothing my God can not do!

The mountains are His, the rivers are His, the stars are His handy work, too.

My God is so big, so strong and so mighty,
There’s nothing my God can not do!
