Thinking out loud

Welcome to the Unkown

France trip, Day 1:
So…I am finally here, after a very long day of traveling, I’m know sitting in the Charles de Gaule airport, Paris, France…I’m not gonna lie, I’m pretty tired. But it’s only 1: 35 am Dothan time. Here it’s almost 9 a.m. and a new day has begun as my family at home is probably just now going to sleep…that’s pretty cool. It was so cool to wake up to a 4:30 a.m. breakfast this morning, and then watch the Lord paint one of the most beautiful sunrises I’ve ever seen…at least 20,000 ft high. I kept going back in my mind to the verses in Ps. 139 where it echoes perfectly what I felt the Lord telling me…
“O Lord, you have searched me and you know me.
You know when I sit and when I rise;
You perceive my thoughts from afar.
You discern my going out and my lying down; you are
familiar with all my ways.
Before a word is on my tongue, you know it completely,
O Lord. You hem me in- behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too lofty for me to attain.
Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your
presence? If I go up to the heavens you are there; if I make
my bed in the depths, you are there.
If I rise on wings of the dawn, and settle on the far side of the sea,
even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.”
What an amazing passage from Psalms…written so long ago, but yet it speaks so loudly to me in this time of my life. I am so thankful for this opportunity, and hope that the Lord is evident in and through my life….in ways that I can’t even see. I am His…and He welcomes me to unkowns, knowing that with Him there are none.
