Sunrise

OK, I know that these sad pictures can do the sunrise justice, but...

One thing that God has been opening my eyes to as I have been here is the beauty of His creation. I’ve never been too great at recognizing God through creation- I guess I’ve always just taken it for granted. But what a gift He gives, and what a picture He shows us of Himself through the natural beauty that surrounds us.

In Cape Town, it’s hard not to be completely blown away by the beauty of the ocean, mountains, and sky. My favorite part has to be the sky!! It’s so huge and beautiful here (I know it’s as big in Nashvegas, but it definitely looks so much bigger here!). Anyway, my favorite part of the day has quickly become watching the sunrise. You may be thinking, “Wow Laural, how great that you go outside and watch the sunrise every morning...look at you go!!” Well, not so much…I watch it from my kitchen window ☺. It’s not a complete view, there are a few buildings in the way. But it’s beautiful just the same. I come in to make my coffee and it’s dark outside, as I make my toast and eat my banana I watch the sky change from deep blue to pink, yellow, orange…whatever God feels like that morning. But it’s always beautiful and fascinating to me, and I just wanted you to see the view from my kitchen window ☺

P.S. The girls have been asking our landlady for a curtain to cover the window, but I’m secretly hoping that she won’t buy one because it will DEFINITLEY get in the way of my morning view ☺
