In my re-commitment to catch God early in the morning I've shared in the the beauty of glorious painted skies and peeked into the amusing habits of birds. Ususally I hear the hummingbirds flutter in my ear, but this morning there are three big black birds cawing from the rooftop behind me. Where'd they come from, they've scared away the hummingbirds for the moment?
6:00 am, my favorite time of day. Any later, I've missed the sky-show; any earlier, it hasn't begun yet. My surroundings definitely aren't trees, hostas, koi, and waterfalls. But, when I was encircled by that beauty, I couldn't see the sun emerge from its bed.
So, thank you, God, for a new view. A view of your colorful, majestic handiwork, especially when you throw in a few puffy clouds. I'm trying to figure out how you can tell the difference between sunrises and sunsets, if you see one in a picture. A friend asked me that question once and I thought I knew the answer, but my answer to her wasn't exactly correct.
They're back...the hummingbirds!!! It's quiet now, no more cawing; only the fluttering of wings and the high pitched call of the crickets.

I must have blinked...
I must have blinked...
Don't Blink Lyrics
I turned on the evening newsSaw a old man being interviewedTurning a hundred and two todayAsked him what's the secret to lifeHe looked up from his old pipeLaughed and said "All I can say is."Don't blinkJust like that you're six years old and you're taking naps and youWake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wifeDon't blinkYou just might miss your babies growing like mine didTurning into moms and dads next thing you know your better halfOf fifty years is there in bedAnd you're praying God takes you insteadTrust me friend a hundred years goes faster than you thinkSo don't blinkI was glued to my tv and it looked like he looked at me and said"Best start putting first things first."Cause when your hourglass runs out of sandYou can't flip over and start againTake every breathe God gives you for what it's worthDon't Blink[ Don't Blink lyrics found on http://www.completealbumlyrics.com ]Just like that you're six years old and you're taking naps and youWake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wifeDon't blinkYou just might miss your babies growing like mine didTurning into moms and dads next thing you know your better halfOf fifty years is there in bedAnd you're praying God takes you insteadTrust me friend a hundred years goes faster than you thinkSo don't blinkI've been tryna slow it downI've been tryna take it inIn this here today gone tomorrow world we're livin' inDon't blinkJust like that you're six years old and you're taking naps and youWake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wifeDon't blinkYou just might miss your babies growing like mine didTurning into moms and dads next thing you know your better halfOf fifty years is there in bedAnd you're praying God takes you insteadTrust me friend a hundred years goes faster you thinkDon't blinkNaw, don't blink
A Brand New Thing
I used to be a journaler, more than I am currently. I'm not sure if I want to journal on line, but it may be a way to make myself settle down and write. Not sure if I have anything news worthy, probably won't spill my guts, but I'm going to try to get the hang of this and just see how it goes.
Lori helped me figure out most of this. I'll probably need a few more tutorials before I branch out on my own.
Anyway, God is doing a brand new thing in my walk with Him. The truth of the matter is this...Can God be trusted? The answer is either "Yes." or "No." I, either, trust Him or I don't...with everything!! At the risk of sounding trite, I DO trust Him. It's just learning to Trust Him in everything.
