So this morning there was a lunar eclipse. According to the news, both local and social, the best times were 3:00, 4:15, 5:15, 5:30, 6:00, 6:45... So we went with 6:25 because that's when Clayton was getting up. It was pretty cloudy as I was out first walking the dogs. But suddenly the clouds cleared and it was the brightest red moon I'd ever seen. I yelled, in the dark, for everyone to come out but at first they didn't hear me. Once they did the clouds came back. But no worries, they eventually cleared and we all got to see how amazing it was. This was only the first of the many ways Jesus was fighting for my attention this morning just so He could say I love You. The sunrise on the way to school was amazing! Then I saw the most beautiful rainbow that went straight into the sky, not turning, but like a light shooting straight up from the ground and getting lost in the clouds. The earth was saying it loves Jesus too! Then I got the sweetest text from my gift, my Cowboy. Oh how I love him! Once I got home my niece who was staying with MeeMaw shouted out the window,"I love you Aunt LaLa!".
Oh it's just too much Lord. I knew what He was doing. He was saying, "Good morning my most precious creation. Don't forget, I love you, no, I adore you. When you look around at all of these beautiful things and find joy when they shine their brightest, remember that I have even greater joy when I look down and see you shine. You are amazing!"
That is MY Jesus! That is MY Father! That is His Heart inside of me!
All I could say to Him was this, "I see You Lord, I hear You Lord, and I love You, no, I adore You!"
Lots of things will fight for my attention today, But I will sing of Your strength;
I will sing aloud of Your steadfast love in the morning. For You have been to me a fortress and a refuge in the day of my distress. Psalm 59:16. I pray Lord I will remember that You are willing to fight the hardest for my attention, I just need to acknowledge You. And nothing will ever compare to the beauty of the fight You will display for me, both in the good and the not so good. I will see You, I will hear You. I love You, no, I adore You!
