The sky canopied with morning grey clouds from previous night slumber, hovers quiet. Still.
The sun hadn't come up yet. But I knew if I just waited a moment ...
waited patiently . . .
for God's finger to begin the magic. Another masterpiece painted across forever sky.
Waiting still. Camera ready. Waiting for this gift of time - from Him.
Seconds pass and I look up. Out in the distance hovering above acres of stretched out meadow,
I see it. Cradled beneath spotted clouds here and there - the tiniest blush of pink lights up.
More seconds sweep by and with each one, the pallet of morning sky begins to awaken.
Unfolding - expanding ... birthing a colorful, brilliant lid of Heaven.
Sunrise is unfolding before me. Eye's mirror its glory.
My entire being is embraced with Heaven hovering right above me.
Me - a miniature spec compared to eternal sky.
Yet, I feel immense power and love just for me, in this heaven joined with earth moment.
Chasing beauty once again - to find Him. His embrace. Love.
Looking down upon me -
as if I were the only person alive.
I think that if ever a mortal heard the voice of God
it would be in the sunrise - awakening the world.
Waiting.
Without a doubt - worth the wait.
"Waiting is just a gift of time in disguise
— a time to pray wrapped up in a ribbon of patience —
because is the Lord ever late?"
-Ann Voskamp
