Standing in Awe of Him

"Let all the earth fear the LORD;
Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him." Psalm 33:8.
Many of you know that I was born in Kansas. So, this Kansas girl adores sunflowers.

Last weekend was Hannah's first cross country meet and Mr. Incredible and I got up at the crack of dawn to make our way to her meet in Lubbock. On our way there, we came across the most glorious sunflower patches. Since it was still too dark outside, we decided that we would stop on the way home. I could hardly wait.

We did get a chance to stop and take pictures. As I snapped pictures to my heart's content, I noticed this lone sunflower stretching above the others (can you see it?) and I said, "Delight!" I knew this would perfect for my Word Filled Wednesday post.

I don't know about you, but I want to be like that sunflower, rising above it all to stand in awe of my Savior! Oh, He is so worthy of our best praise! Go ahead, stand up, you know you want to....stand in awe of Him today.

    I pray for Rachel often. She is on my heart. I have 2 other children besides Andrew (12), Audra (19), and Avery (15).
    I'm praying for THE MIRACLE FOR RACHEL when I pray for THE MIRACLE FOR ANDREW.
    Love,
    Melanie

    Caleb has told me before sunflowers are his favorite flower.
