We're Soarin', Flyin'!

Normally, I wouldn't post this many blogs at one time, but I was in Houston all last week. I couldn't figure out how to post them from my phone, so I am just now getting around to it. I wrote this one Saturday, June 8, 2013.

     I'm writing this blog from a place where I may never write one again...the sky!! I'm headed to the big ole city of Houston, Texas, to participate in the Woman's Missionary Union (WMU) Missions Celebration and the Southern Baptist Convention. As a panelist with the National WMU, I will have certain responsibilities to fulfill throughout this week.
      However, I'd like to get back to the flying. This is the first time I've flown since I was 8ish when my parents and I went to Wyoming. I forgot how truly magical it is! There's nothing like flying through the clouds and then being able to look down on them as you fly over. Today is bright and sunshiny, so the clouds are big and puffy. They almost look like you could walk right out on them or take a big bite out of them like a piece of cotton candy.
      Times like this are when I realize how truly small I am. Here I am, flying above the clouds, and looking at the cities below as we pass over. I can't imagine how many people are down there, going about their daily lives. I'm just one tiny part of the big picture of the world.
      It also makes me realize how truly big God is. I'm 10,000 feet above the ground and can see for miles and miles in all directions. But can you imagine God's view from heaven? I mean, He's the one who made all of this beauty.Everything I can see in all directions, He handcrafted for His glory. It really puts things into perspective.
      So, as I sit here and write this blog as I'm gazing on the earth below, I marvel at how small I am and how big my God is. And I look forward to seeing how my God will work through me and the people around me in Houston.
