a seabird once told me,

what if everything does happen for a reason? 

theres a couple things going on in my life right now that's really testing my faith in whether or not that's true.

whats the purpose in this? 

how can God be glorified in this?

and then i think about what God has already done,

and how beyond myself He is. 

and i feel small, 

like i'm looking up at the starry night 

remembering that the sun is just another average star.

and that the earth is just one of thousands of planets out there

and that there's 9 billion people on the earth, 

as numerous as the stars in the heavens.

and suddenly, my problems don't seem so 

GINORMOUS 

anymore,

instead they feel small

and i feel safe 

knowing that i'm small

because God is bigger than the heavens

God is beyond my comprehension

and i've decided i can rest in that

 thats one reason i'm a space junkie. 

because it makes me feel small.

and that;s the reason why i love thunderstorms

it's something so beyond my control, 

so beyond myself

SO BEYOND MYSELF.
