Sunshiney

I have to admit it.. I'm a sucker for a sunrise, or a sunset, or just a sunny day really. It seems to be the way that God reminds me of how faithful, powerful and beautiful he is. Today I got up here and was booting up my computer and a guy I work with came in and told me that the interior light in my car was on in the parking garage. Drat! I very much dislike having to go back down there once I'm settled. Not desiring to have a dead battery when I make my Friday escape this afternoon, I thanked him and went downstairs. As I walked through the garage, I saw the beginnings of a sunrise through the opening in the second level of the garage and I instantly smiled. It was in that pre-sunrise stage where it isn't bright or anything, but the whole sky begins to change color from the horizon up. Today it was a deep orange. Suddenly my mind was flooding with thoughts.... "This is the day that the Lord has made", "His mercies are new every morning" and "great is thy faithfulness". I love that God uses the sun as a reminder to me of his person.

On a separate note, I've had this song in my head all week....

" I don't know how the stars hang
Or how there's night and then there's day
I don't know how you spoke into the black
And made it all obey

All I know is the bleeding in my heart
And the healing in your touch
All I know is that you gave everything
So let that be enough
'Cause it's all I know

I don't know how your love works
How you cover me in grace
I don't know how you swallow all I am
When I can't stand my taste

All I know is the bleeding in my heart
And the healing in your touch
All I know is that you gave everything
So let that be enough
'Cause it's all I know

I can't explain your mystery
But I know the answer

All I know is the bleeding in my heart
And the healing in your touch
All I know is that you gave everything
So let that be enough
'Cause it's all I know"
