Look around at the beauty

I may have mentioned this in a previous blog or to a few people in a few conversations but God is Amazing.  Now that isn't what i have mentioned before... well it is but not what i really mean to mention right here and now.

Soooo... lets move right to it.

God has been teaching me to slow down and see the beauty that is around me.  And oh is it always fun to remember to slow down and just look around.  Not that these moments are necessarily huge God moments where he is coming down from heaven and blowing up a car in front of me or something, or making a guy in a wheel chair get up and walk, but these moments are priceless and i am soooo pumped that i took time to notice them.

I was coming back from Athens yesterday afternoon and i decided to take a new way home.  I had my dad's Garmin GPS so i wasn't worried about getting lost.  But of of Jimmy Boulevard, is that right, is that even a road off of 85, any who, i took a new way home.  Well i was about to turn on to Buford Highway, at least i think it was Buford, and i looked to my right and what I saw was one of those guys holding those signs.  You know, nothing out of the ordinary, he had some head phones on and then i saw him get crazy... i wish i had pictures, well really a video, but this man was on fire and gave his job more then the normal effort.  The sign was probably a foot in height and four feet or something like that in length, but this man was dancing like wild with this sign.  It was unreal.  He was turning it around throwing it over his back, spinning it and with it, i mean this guy was amazing, and i just thought, God thank you for this.

The other moment i saw was just driving to Bruton's house and saw a horse drawn carriage, well two horses pulling i think two carriages with rebel flags in the back and men that were shirtless and had foot long beards.  It was amazing.  I love God and the beauty and amazing sights that he has given me to see.

Plus after that awesome view i was able to go to the 14th annual Bruton family fish fry.  It was awesome got to meet and hang out with some cool people and played two hours of some intense volleyball (if it was any more intense it would be camping) haha, haha, wow. :)  But after that faded and after the amazing food and snacks which actually preceded the olympically awesome game of volleyball, Bruton and i got in the hot tub, great for the muscles and just had some beautiful conversation.  Some well needed time of just hearing each others life for the past little bit.  It ended with some prayer but i loved it.  I love my buddy Eric and getting to catch up and just talk was awesome.  I just love relationships and being open to let God lead them where they go.  I mean i felt so good leaving him, and just encouraged. 

Well again, remember, to slow down and notice the crazy and beautiful creation that God has placed around you.
