Thankful for cherry blossoms

During this past weekend in SD I stole some time away for myself. "Daughter, come spend time with me," he said. I closed my eyes to pray and when I opened them back up, this is what I saw.

Immediately I was mesmerized, basking in the warm sunlight as it crept its way through the branches of the tree. The sky was so blue in all directions for as far as I could see. 

I looked just a little farther and saw this. Instantly reminded that He is the creator and center of this all. All this beauty and majesty, made by Him and for Him. 

Then once I came back to Berkeley I discovered that we actually have Cherry Blossom trees planted on the sidewalks on my street! 

They are so small, so fragile, so delicate and so pretty. They're still just blooming, I can't wait till they're in full bloom! Just having these trees to look at while walking home from the bus stop can make so much of a difference in my day. 

"Beautiful You" - Monk & Neagle

(just parts of the song I like most)

Every ocean, every sea

Every morning's a symphony

Every drop of rain, every waterfall

All the stars in the sky are so beautiful

Every breath I breathe, every beat of my heart

I feel so alive cause of who you are 

Every day I rise, every time I sing 

I'm reminded of Your great love for me

You're beautiful, so beautiful

Thanks for reminding me just how much You care for me.
