I've been thinking a lot lately about what it means to be truly humble by recognizing our nothingness compared to God. Just when you feel you finally "get" something about life, or that you just "get" life, you learn something else that makes you "get it" again. Translation: We as human beings aren't even beginning to scratch the surface of God's knowledge and marvels.
When I think I've seen the most beautiful sunset and that I'll never experience anything to top it in this life, when I feel depressed because that moment is gone, another moment occurs and I see a more beautiful one. When I've had an experience that's amazing and think life can't get any better, the Lord proves me wrong by showing and blessing me or those around me with an even more amazing experience.

There will always be more. More sunsets, more calm spring nights, more crisp mountain mornings, more enchanting holiday seasons with snow and lights all aglow. There's more revelations, more inspiring words, more moving music, more touching portraits and photos, more scriptures that speak to you in a new way. God always has more. There is never an end to His glory, His works, and His love.
I have sooooo much to learn here and I want to ask, seek and open myself up to all that He has to offer.

Look for the sunlight in the sunsets Y'all!

No matter the challenges in our lives, we can always choose our attitude. Some days it's easier to choose to be cheerful and go with the flow, and some days things go so badly you literally couldn't paste on a fake smile if you tried. The darker days can be clouded with the failures of the past, the harsh reality of the present, and the fear of the future.  But the way we choose to see and respond to things makes all the difference. I gained some good insight from Charles Swindoll, who said: 

Welcome to our blog!
Life is full of trials and adversities, some of which may seem impossible to overcome. We met in high school and although we lost contact after graduation, the Lord brought us back together for a purpose we didn't even realize for some time. We have both lived with chronic pain and health problems since we were teens, and as we've gotten older, we've developed many of the same conditions. This has only increased our capacity to understand each other and others who deal with the same challenges.
It is our hope that we can encourage others to always "Look up!" amidst the trials of their lives, for those trials are often God's mercies in disguise. We have seen the Lord's hand in our lives, and can witness that He does visit His children in their time of need.  We know that in the midst of great pain, we can have great joy, that there is sunlight through the clouds.
