Sunsets are phenomenal.
If you stare at one you don't notice it's changing every second but if you change your view every couple minutes the change is dramatic and intense. Everything is constantly moving and changing.
We accept a sunset as beautiful yet, routine, but when change like that happens in our life we freak out. Its hard to stand back and look for the bigger picture when our hearts are on the line. We see the change, we feel the pruning and we hate it. We can't look away for a moment because it is literally all around us. Change is coming so fierce and so fast and you have no room to breathe. You feel like there's not a second for you to hide and compose yourself. But staring and being lost in every second of change and every heart breaking moment of difficult circumstances makes it so much more harder to handle. Drowning in the moment will cause you to lose your focus. It's so important in these times to step it up and force yourself to work through it without succumbing to it. Step back and look for the deeper meaning there's a reason for everything. I know you hear that all the time, but seriously there is a reason. Even the most painful, heinous, inexcusable, unexplainable situations in life.
I know what you're thinking because a few months ago I would've not even finished reading something like this! It sounds so easy for someone else to say just get over it. I'm not saying that, I'm challenging you to see life from a different angle. Believe me, I've been through the most insane of circumstances and most, just recently. At the moment I've written this watching the most amazing sunset while standing in a house that epitomizes those awful, painful situations in life. Its crazy to me that one could be encompassed in a whirlwhind of painful memories while just out the window, a beautiful act of God is occuring. Last year I promise you I would've never noticed the sunset!
The outcome of this particular one is still shaky and unknown.
But my God is bigger than any unspeakable circumstance! He can move mountains, raise the dead and save a Princess =)
I can honestly say now (something I never thought I could) this sunset is gonna be miraculous!
