Start a Conflagration

So, for the last few weeks I've been in a really down mood. When I get like that I have the tendency to stop looking to God for help. It seems backwards from how that should work. So, for about 3 weeks I've been neglecting my quiet time. Not just forgetting to do it, but choosing not to. I was in the most horrible mood on Sunday and couldn't figure out why. Then it dawned on me that until I turn my problems over to God and remember that I'm not in control of everything, I'm going to be negative about everything. The last few days have been awesome. My quiet times have been so fulfilling, yet still leaving me wanting more of who God is. It feels awesome to be hungry for God's word again. I've been telling myself that I need to look for God in the little things, because those are so often the things I over look. Last night as I was driving back from school I got to watch the sunset. I love sunsets, always have. They always make me smile. As I was driving I was listening to Brandon Heath. I'm thinking to myself that this sunset is so gorgeous....and the song Beauty Divine comes on. Here are the lyrics:

Does it ever catch your eye
Beauty divine
In an old man's tears
A little girl's smile
If it feels like a song
One that belongs to you
Stop making sense
Your weakest defense
Just quiet your mind
Let the world unwind
See we're not alone
He makes Himself known in time,
His own time

So Breath
Life will surprise you
Just Be
It's what the world denies you
You see
The truth is all around you
Believe
We're not alone
He makes Himself known in time,
His own time
Does it ever catch your eye


God is awesome....and it amazes me that He used something as simple as a sunset and a song to bring my focus back to Him.
