Slow Down

     My Saturday has been packed full of stuff to do. First, I went to an internship meeting at my church, then played violin for a wedding there with my worship leader, next I went back for worship practice, after that just got some good conversation, and finally ended the night with a dip in my friend's pool.
     I think the one thing I was reminded of was how God created beauty. At the wedding, I began to think of how beautiful the wedding and the bride were. I also began to think of how God made marriage to be a "combining two people into one flesh" and that too struck me as an amazing, yet beautiful thing.
     Later in the day, while I was going back to church, I had a big chunk of time to get to church, so I decided to slow things down a little bit and actually go the speed limit. As i looked out my windows, I saw the lush green's and browns throughout the landscape I was going through. Again, it was absolutely beautiful.
    If I had just decided to rush through the roads and just focus on getting there as fast I could, I definitely would have missed it, like all the thousand other times that I've been down the road. I am going to challenge myself in the next coming days to slow down and just try to capture the beauty that God created in less than nano seconds.
