A Priceless Moment

This is fall break and I spent a lazy day at home watching TV - and it felt good. Tonight, I watched a couple movies with my family and then I made a late-night Walmart run by myself. I couldn't have picked a better time. On the way, I had one of those teary-eyed Christian radio moments. What is that, you ask? Christian radio stations are there to do the work of God and they do in ways the broadcasters never realize. Sometimes, you hear just what you needed to hear from God on the radio and the sudden realization causes instant tears streaming down the cheek along with overwhelming joy. I had one of those moments. Between two songs and a couple things in-between, I was reminded just how much God loved me and how it was not Him who tries to make me feel too guilty to come to Him.

A few minutes later, I saw the full moon hidden under clouds and thought about why I hadn't seen God working in my life lately. Tonight, the full moon was slightly blocked from view by clouds. If I could rise above the things that cloud my vision, I would see Him clearly. However, a lot of the time, I can't see the moon even on a clear night. Or at least I can only see a part of it. The same goes for God - the world gets in the way and blocks the light of God from reaching me. The truth is, I need to get over this world too. Instead of keeping my eyes on God, I keep my eyes on the world. That's just a lot to think about, but it was quite a good experience. In other news, I bought a bag of Kitchen Cooked Potato Chips to take back to Greenville COllege with me.
