Maybe it’s attributable to the sub-zero temperatures, but my world feels a bit small these days. I’m feeling closed in and needy for more of God, more of his greatness, more of his grandeur. But since we have no tickets for a tropical destination tucked away in a drawer, I am determined to find my Awe here. In this sleepy little farming town.

Awe ushers me directly into God’s presence. Which I desperately need. As in today. Encountering what is Awesome requires intentionality. And eyes to see. Because I’m slowing down and getting low, I notice things which I might have missed ten years ago.

Things easily overlooked or even stepped on as I mindlessly travel from point A to point B. These miniature scenes break my heart with their fragile beauty.

That breaking causes a longing, a hunger for Him that is so intense and so palpable I can barely speak of it. The Psalmist wrote that “the heavens declare the glory of the Lord.”

I agree and I would also add, so do the water drops.
