Skipping Chapel & A Grateful Heart

Words are hard. This might not be eloquent.
This morning was glorious.
Praise God for His faithfulness and mercy.
I skipped chapel today, and it was one of the best decisions I've made all week.
Okay, so it's Monday. Still a great choice.
Instead of going to chapel, I sat by the lake under a tree.
To be given the sweet opportunity to spend time in the presence of my Savior.
Away from people. Away from pride. Away from the desire to perform.
Just me and my sweet Jesus.
To get the sweet blessing to praise Him for His creation.
To talk over the past few days.
To trust Him.
To get to know Him deeper.
To revel in His majesty.
To cry tears of joy at His glory.
To see His fingerprints in all of creation, and sit in breathless wonder as I took in the scenery.
Our God is awesome. Man. I can't say it enough.
His praise has been on my lips all day, and there's no way I can really describe it.
Eternal gratitude.
Raw worship.
Undeservedly blessed.
Thanks Lord, from the bottom of my heart, for these times of connection.
For these conversations. For your understanding and love. For listening, and speaking.
Today I'm reminded of how blessed I am. That our God is not a selfish God, but a caring one. Our God is a God who truly, deeply, and unconditionally loves His children. He cares about us. He cares about our hearts.
The past week He's been reminding me that He cherishes me, and what sweet reminder.
Gratitude. Gratitude. Gratitude. I'm not even sure that word can describe the depth of thankfulness that's pouring from my heart, but it'll do for now.
