The God of Creation and Nature

Spring Break finally came this week.  For the past few days, I have been experiencing rest and stress-free days.  I have been visiting Wilmington, Fort Macon, New Bern, and other towns around where I live- exploring what the NC coast has to offer.

However today, while studying for Anatomy and Physiology- I realized that with my time off, have I been spending my time wisely?

As well, have I been investing enough time for school work.  And, now that I think about it, have I been investing enough time for God?

It is so easy to forget spending time with the Father, Lord during times that are hectic and crazy.  But, forgetting to spend time with God when I have all the time in the world?

What I noticed I have been doing though is cherishing all the beauty God has given to the earth.  Me and my boyfriend have been going to beach almost everyday, just enjoying the waves and the sand under our feet.
  
Nehemiah 9:6  
"You alone are the LORD. You made the heavens, even the highest heavens, and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You give life to everything, and the multitudes of heaven worship you."


The past two days, we have been craving to wake up at 530 AM to see the sun rise, both of the times my fault for not going (I was tired).

Yet, just looking back the past couple of days- we truly have seen God's beauty in the sunsets over the beaches and a bright rainbow after light sprinkles.

 Genesis 9:12-13
"And God said, "This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth."

Even though we may forget to read our Bible everyday, or fail to pray everynight- I'm sure God still makes His existence known through the changing weather and the Beauty of who He is every moment.

Colossians 1:16,17 
 "For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:  And he is before all things, and by him all things consist."
