for the few of you out there that ever read my blog, i sincerely appologize for the lack of postings lately. not sure why this is...but alas, i shall atempt to keep it up again.
so this post actually began a few months ago during an early morning run. as the sun began to rise, the sky turned an electric shade of pink! i was so in awe that all i could do was praise GOD for making such a beautiful sight. i felt that in my spirit He said, "it's for you". of course this seemed weird & even impossible - so i actually put it aside & hadn't really thought about it since then until yesterday...
so as i was running yesterday afternoon, i was noticing a particular tree that many of my neighbors have in their yards. (i'm not sure what it's called - i'm not so good with plants.) anyway, they are in full bloom with like a billion tiny white buds & look beautiful, especially from a distance. i was thinking about how pretty they were when i turned a corner & saw a spectacular sight...a similar tree except the buds were all PINK! i can't explain it, but when i see pink - especially in nature - my heart skips a beat. i was amazed at this tree & began to thank GOD for it. i actually thanked HIM this time for creating pink. and this time i was for sure that HE spoke to me "I created the color pink for YOU." "um, huh?" i thought. "i must have misunderstood...my music might be too loud." so i asked "how can you say that you created the color pink for me? i have many friends who also feel as if their hearts' beat for pink. you must be mistaken." (like GOD is ever mistaken.) but as clear as can be, HE said "when I thought up the color pink, YOU were on my mind - yes, there were others too, but I thought of you by name & of how much joy it would bring to you & how you would praise me. I remembered you & gave the world pink."
i am still quite taken-a-back by this idea, but if i believe that "before the foundation of the earth, GOD knew me" (which i do)...then i should be able to believe that He made pink for ME.
