Through My Window

by | Mar 13, 2014 | God

I stood at my kitchen window this morning, watching it happen…

Watching one of the most beautiful sunrises I’ve ever seen form before my eyes…

As the eastern sky began to light up with hues of yellow and orange…

I expected to see something beautiful…

But nothing quite this breathtaking…

Truly, it about took my breath away as I stared at it through my window.

And just as quickly as they appeared, in a matter of minutes, the reds, oranges and yellows began to fade and disappear. Still standing at my window, I was in awe at what God just allowed me to behold. As funny as it sounds, I felt He encouraged me through the beautiful progression of scenes, right in front of my eyes.

Then Psalm 19:1 ran through my mind…

“The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.”

Wouldn’t you agree with me that the skies proclaimed the work of His hands this morning? They do every day.

Friend, may this encourage you today too. If God can make a sky look that amazing and beautiful, He can make your life and mine amazing and beautiful. If you’re going through a rough patch in your life, cling to this encouragement. He’s not done with you. Scene by scene, He’s making you into a work of art. He’s given us His Son, Jesus, who is with us every moment of every day. With Jesus, you will never, ever be alone. Rest in that truth tonight, my friend.

God bless you!

    So beautiful. As I was walking through the house this morning the sunrise stopped me in my tracks. I walked outside to get a better look; ran back in because the view was better from inside. It felt like God gave me a hug!

      And I missed this morning’s sunset, as I chose to sleep in! Thanks Marcia for sharing the “hug” you received through it! Love you, friend!

Don't miss this if you could use a belly laugh today! 🤣

This is what happens when you invite on the podcast two friends who you've known you since 5th grade, Sheila and Karen. 🩵

Sheila says it perfectly,
Have you ever caught yourself thinking, “I’m not enough... I’ll never get it right... I’m failing at everything”?

You’re not alone—and those words aren’t the truth.

Join us for She Speaks Life, a special morning created for women just like you—women who are tired of the negative self-talk and ready to replace it with God’s truth. Together, we’ll learn to speak life over ourselves, find freedom in our identity in Christ, and encourage one another in a space full of grace.

Come as you are. Leave refreshed, encouraged, and reminded of the power your words hold.

Bring a friend. There’s a seat for you. 💛

She Speaks Life: A Morning of Encouragement and Connection
📅 Saturday, May 3 | 9:00 - 11:00 AM
📍 Prairie View Christian Church, 400 Main Street, Norway, IA
🎟 Free Admission | ☕ Refreshments Served

In case no one’s told you lately:
You’re doing better than you think.

One step, one prayer, one small win at a time—
you’re moving forward.

God isn’t grading you.
He’s guiding you, and that's worth noticing and celebrating.

Somedays it's easy to put God on the back burner. Without God's Word renewing our minds, we can slip into defaulting to wordly and anxious thinking. In fact, that's always what our brains will do. 

Today is a good day to renew our minds again. Let's open our Bibles and see what God has to say. It can literally change our lives and our perspectives.
