Moments

Reverb10 day 3 my friends

December 3 – Moment. Pick one moment during which you felt most alive this year. Describe it in vivid detail (texture, smells, voices, noises, colors).

so my moment isn't so much a moment as it is a compilation of a bunch of little moments that made up one of my favorite days of the year 2010.

Imagine an island. A beautiful island. Sand. Sea. Wind blowing through your hair. The sun beating on you in the best way possible. Smell the salt and the faint scent of fish. Then all of the sudden you're on a boat out to sea. your completely surrounded by the bright blue water, dancing with the ebb and flow of the tides. Glittering like diamonds from the sun. Then you're underwater, hanging out with the fish and nurse sharks and the barrier reef. Exactly what you've imagined it to be. Seeing one of God's greatest mysterious right in front of you. Face to face with creatures that are nearly alien because they live and exist so differently than we do. Now you're on the patio of a local restaurant blissfully exhausted from the excitement and adventure of the day. Feeling the tiredness that only the sun can inflict. You watch the sun set of the horizon, over the endless sea. And for a moment you feel more. He is there, the creator of the universe is standing with you, welling with joy over the indescribable beauty that is so close yet so far. Far from understanding, far from human ability, far from anything we could create. It is in its own way perfect. Seemingly unharmed by the sin and ugly that consumes our world. At that moment you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that there is more. He is there.

thats my moment. you must understand that there is little i love more than the ocean, it is my favorite of God's creations outside of humans. so yep, hope you enjoy!
