Everything is beautiful.

Right now i’m sitting on a wooden bench on my front porch watching a storm come in.
I have my journal, a pencil, and the mist of rain drops against my legs.
At this moment, i need nothing more. And yet i need it all..

In nine days i’ll be on a plane headed for South America & this memory will most likely only be a faint one.
But i’m not in a hurry to pass this moment up. I want to take time to enjoy it.
It’s more than just dark clouds and precipitation to me.
..It’s a chance to see God in unlikely places.
..It’s an opportunity to sit back and enjoy what He’s given me for the time being.
..A chance to stop wishing i was somewhere else.
..A time to sit back and know that i’m right where He wants me.
And i’ll rest here underneath His hand.

The sheets of rain are pouring down now and i realize there isn’t any other place i’d rather be.
God makes everything beautiful in it’s time..
Even a wooden bench in a small town.
