This past weekend I went with my family to the Grand Canyon. I was like a little 5 year old because I have always wanted to go and it would be a check off my bucket list. Well, you know the drive to see the Grand Canyon is about 5-6 hours so I had a lot of time to reflect and think about life. I was scrolling through all of my pictures and I came across this one and I just thought it reflected my life.
Here we are..thousands of people come to this place to see a hole in the ground. To see rocks but why? The Grand Canyon is much like our life. We go through so many rocky challenges that are carved into us. We would not be who we are today without those rocks in our lives. Sometimes we are at the highest level and feel like life is going smooth like the plateaus in Grand Canyon and sometimes we are at the bottom drowning in the river and looking up at those rocks thinking how the heck am I going to get out of this river and reach the smooth rocks again.
Wherever you are in this Grand Canyon there is the beauty of God showing He is present. Look at this Canyon every single crack, color, rock, tree is beautiful. Whatever angle you are looking at, you are overwhelmed by the beauty of it. You are immediately taken back to the presence of God because only He can create something so beautiful just like only He can create such a beautiful individual like you. God is there in your challenging rocky times and you may not know it or feel it but he is making beauty in those rocky times and you will see exactly why you went through those challenges. You will look back and be thankful for that new rocky formation that you went through.
So as I go into this new year I am ready to be on the edge of this life with a smile. Currently, I am in the river not knowing why I am in a rocky season but I know my God has something beautiful He is creating through this time. I know this year I need to be BOLD in my actions, my faith, and myself. I need to shake off the doubt and negativity and be overtaken by the beauty of this life. I need to stop hating the rocky times and I need to embrace the beauty and trust my sweet Lord with my life.
