-Watching the sun rise as we leave for school.
-The crisp air of a clear morning.
-The truths in Christmas songs. (Especially in the soundtrack to the Nativity Story movie-it's one of my favorites!)
-The smell of a freshly cut pine tree on the side of the road by my school.
-The view from my mom's office window.
-A fire flickering in the fireplace.
-Kind words from friends.
But not only do the things I see take my breath away. The things I read are just as powerful...
-Jesus' softness towards women in the Gospels.
-Mary's faith in the unknown.
-God's sovereignty over everything that happens in our lives.
-Paul's goals to share Christ, show Christ, and know Christ.
There are so many places where I can be encouraged day after day. I just need to remember to lift my eyes to see what God has prepared for me.
No tumbling under the waves...I want to see the view of the ocean.
