My Something Beautiful

Something beautiful. Something exciting. Something breathtaking and life changing. 


These are all things we all desire. We desire to see something so breathtakingly beautiful. If you don't, then my goodness you need to! For the last few weeks I have heard this song on the radio and felt incredibly inspired to write, to blog. This morning I watched a short series called Breakthrough by Tony Robbins and the song Something Beautiful by NeedtoBreathe is their theme song. Not only does it fit, but millions of viewers are being blessed with one persons cry out to God, that turned into a song, that stirs our own hearts for "something beautiful". 


So what is it?


What is that something beautiful?


What are you wanting to see, to experience, to witness? 


As for me, this song stirs so many different emotions in my own heart, and I felt like sharing some of them with you. May it be a challenge to you to think of some of that "something beautiful" you desire to see. 


My Something Beautiful-
    -Even though I've seen many sunsets, I want to sit on some high mountain, hill, or cliff at the beach and watch our main source of light, energy, and heat fall beneath the ocean. 
    -In time, I want to experience the moment we first find out we are going to have a baby. I want to see the baby's first kick, first smile, first step. 
    -I want to be in conversation with someone and pray with someone as they accept Jesus as their Savior for the first time. I desire to see those tears of joy pour from their soul. 
    -I want overlook a beautiful canyon, or mountainous area and journal, worship, and talk with God. 
    -I want to see a room full of women being reminded of their TRUE beauty. I want to see the look in their eyes when they get it, when they realize that THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL.
    -I want to hear stories of men and women who have struggled with years of fear, anxiety, anorexia, bulimia, and everything else, and hear how GOD HELPED THEM OVERCOME
    -I want to be back where I was the last night of our senior float trip where we sat on top of a hill underneath the stars and just soaked in the beauty of no city lights, no noise, just pure nature. Just God's creation. 
    -I want to feel the joy of running and completing my first fun run.
    -I look forward to my 25th anniversary sitting next to my husband smiling at the fact that we thought one year was amazing, yet, we had no idea what wonderful things were to come. 
    -I want to experience whatever it is God is going to do with The Beautiful Truth. Just seeing the look on young women's faced when they are reminded of how TRULY BEAUTIFUL they are will bring tears to my eyes.

To me, my "something beautiful" is personal. It's my dreams, my hopes, and my desires. The list could go on and on, and to be honest, I hope that it never ends. Why? 


Because GOD IS BEAUTIFUL. 


GOD is my "something beautiful" 


GOD has put these dreams in my heart. 
GOD has written my love story with Jason.
GOD knows when my precious little babies will enter this world. 
GOD loves me. 
And GOD wants to bless me. 


He wants to BLESS you. He wants to ROMANCE you. He wants to COMFORT you and SHOW you something beautiful. 


So what is it? What is that "something beautiful" you want to see? 


Here's the song that inspired me. Look at all the different people in this video that also desire to experience something beautiful. We are all alike, and God created us. So pray, and ASK Him to SHOW you SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL.

Cast of Characters: Max Lucado

Beautiful. Intriguing. Inspiring. Uplifting.

I ordered this book from booksneeze.com a few weeks ago and am already inspired. Of course we all know how wonderful of an author Max Lucado is, so that would be one of the reasons why I am touched. Yet, another reason is the reality that the stories written in this book, are taken directly from the bible. They have been a part of our inspired word of God, and changed in a way that we can relate and grasp the reality these people faced every day of their lives many years ago. Cast of Characters is a book written about 22 individual lives we read about in the bible. Some of them would be Esther, Moses, Joseph, and even two criminals. I would totally recommend reading this book if you are looking for a light read, yet something that will also move in your heart. It's important for us to constantly gain a better understanding of how God has called us to live. Often, the best way to grasp these things, we can look at experiences of other people and see what they learned through out their lives. What a blessing it is to receive this book! Read it!
