Indescribable

Wow! God just continues pouring out His mercies on me! I feel like I am standing in the ocean of God's grace and love and every few seconds I am hit with another wave of His grace! 


Let me tell you what prompted this post! Ahhh! I am just so excited at how awesome God is! So I drove into work and as I was pulling into the parking lot I noticed a patch of really pretty clouds just glowing with the sun at their back. I didn't meditate on it long and went inside. I quickly found out that we were over staffed and I volunteered to go home and come back and work the overnight shift...since they were short on that shift. As I was walking down to my car I was happy I didn't have to work right at that moment but bummed that I had driven a half an hour just to turn around and go back. But as I seem to say quite a bit on this blog, God is so graciously sovereign! I believe (know) God planned this little seemingly pointless trip to put His glory on display and to bless my soul! 


So...I got back into my car turned on KTIS and began to drive home. Suddenly or at least it seemed to be suddenly because I definitely did not notice it on my way in. Suddenly the sky was filled and I mean FILLED with thousands of clouds! Huge clouds, small clouds, fluffy clouds, dark clouds, light clouds clouds in hundreds of shapes! It was glorious! It was a masterpiece! And then on the radio came this song


When I look into the painted sky
I see so many colors
They're all a part if Your design
It's such a brilliant display

I love the way the stars shine for You
And every single mountain bows down
I love the way the universe is singing Your song
So I'll try to sing along


Is God awesome or what?? And then as I was worshiping I came to a stop light and a beautiful butterfly flew in front of my windshield and seemed to hover for like a nano second before flying out of sight and then out of the corner of my eye I saw a hawk soaring towards the heavens and in front of me some other type of bird flapping its wings as it flew along and I thought the universe is praising God! 

As I continued driving, meditating, and praising the Lord. The clouds seemed to get more and more majestic! It was like mountains and valleys in the sky! I literally gasped at the beauty! Tears filled my eyes! I have NEVER seen clouds like this! Ever! Oh! What must heaven be like! The songs on the radio had (as can sadly be typical of KTIS) became more and more man centered so I turned it off and sang acapella "Indescribable"! What a glorious drive home! After a while I turned the radio back on and found they were still singing about us so I put in my Chris Tomlin cd and sang indescribable with him and the rest of creation! I put my windows down and turned the volume up and worshipped our Creator!

From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea
Creation's revealing Your majesty
From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring
Every creature unique in the song that it sings
All exclaiming

Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God

  1. I agree with the KTIS comment though I still check it out often and then change to a cd if so desired.

    Also totally totally weird but the clouds were absolutely amazing yesterday afternoon as I was driving home. I was amazed at all the shades of blue mixed with the gray clouds and I thanked God for color, something I would normally would take for granted. When I run I see and sense so much more of his beauty in creation. I don't listen to music when I run so I hear the wind in the trees, the birds...it is so raw. He is certainly amazing.

    Lauren it is so fun to read your posts and be encouraged. It is awesome to see God just pouring out his power and glory and grace and love on and in you.

    Give yourself to the Lord. You will have much joy.

    Love again, Katie
