Friday night we took the girls and Kenneth to a Braves game in Atlanta. Of course, I totally forgot to bring my camera so I have no pictures to share except for one that I think God laid on my heart.
The game was rather uneventful (1 - 0) but after the game there was a fireworks show. The fireworks were the only thing Carlie was interested in. Well, cotton candy did hold her attention for a few minutes! Anyway, she hasn't seen many fireworks and couldn't wait until the game ended so the show would begin.
When it started she was standing in front of me. Within seconds she had pressed herself as close as she could get to me, tucked her body under my arm, and was holding on for dear life. The crazy thing was that she never once took her eyes off the sky. I was thrilled to have been responsible for bringing her there and was more than happy to hold her tight while she enjoyed the show.
That was when God very clearly spoke to my heart. I could almost hear Him say, "This is a perfect picture of how I like things: I provide a wondrous display that makes you stand in awe and your response is to step as close to me as you can get and let me hold you tight so you feel secure." WOW.
That is what I want to do: Stand as close as I can get and keep my eyes wide open for the glitter and lights that God has to show me.
