Sometimes he blows my mind

I have to tell you I had the most amazing day. I joked by saying my whole life was made but really it was pretty amazing.

I woke up in time to see sunrise. I'm not sure when that last happened. Mostly because I hate waking up in the morning. But today I was up and I got out for breakfast with a friend and her foster baby. We shopped after and then hit the beach.

The sun was so bright and vibrant today and it was clear enough to see the snow capped mountains. We walked and talked and enjoyed the sheer majesty of what god created for us to enjoy and protect.

The day was capped off by a fabulous appearance of a pod of orca whales. The swam in sync diving and breaching and spouting over and over. I can't begin to express the joy I get from taking in the creative beauty of our world. Sometimes god blows my mind with the thought and foresight he put into creating our world. Whales weigh tons and yet they can float through water as if they weighed nothing. Mountains are so high they can be covered in snow year round. Bays can be so deep they support whole new worlds of life. Babies can be brought into a life of turmoil and still hold wonder in their eyes.

Yep. Mind blown.
