Living Life From Above- About It All

I was looking though my journal from last year and I came across something that well to say the least is sooooo... Margaret

I went on a mission trip to The Bahamas last May and until this trip I had never been on a plane, so naturally I journaled on during the flight.

Some first time thoughts on a plane

"Leaving for The Bahamas, May 31st.

I have never been on a plane before and at the moment I am feeling very sick, lol. It looks so small, EVERYTH, ohh we are shaking...ING is SO SMALL! If you have the biggest house or the smallest house... they all look small from above! All the cars look the same! Wealth on earth means nothing, we are all the same and equally as small in Gods eyes. Yet He lets us show His glory! How AMAZING! Like oh my gosh, I got a window seat, and looking out, it goes on forever! There are so many clouds! and it is all so beautiful, and so still. This feels like a sneak peak into what God looks at. He sees everything, yet he is so close to me.

By the way, when you get up here- There are so many baseball fields. I thought that was interesting. The sky is so blue man. I am so excited about this trip."

if you every wanted to know what Margaret thinks about...boom there you go

invisible bridges

all the people that I love

 and all the people who I have a harder time loving

their names somehow find a way into this book

during the day; Jesus and I take a look

we pray for those who are celebrating

and for those who are simply just waiting

maybe waiting to find their calling

or maybe just waiting on a call

after it all 

I normally end up balling

I cry because I love them

I wouldn't be who I am without them

I believe that these prayers do not just bounce off my poorly insulated walls

but shine like beacons even when my faith becomes small

prayers? more like invisible bridges

connecting us to The One full of forgiveness

Every single day I

want to become more

like you God.

-Teach me things.

-Teach me how.

-reveal, through these people

who you have put in my life.

Help me run from jealousy 

and toward

-JESUS CHRIST-

{love

joy

peace

patience

kindness

goodness

faithfullness

gentleness

self-control}

Every Single Day

take a little time to look back 

-a father that listens to my prayers-

 -the ability to write them down to help me remember how faithful he is-

- payton-

 -the excitement of visiting home this weekend- 

-RAIN- 

-and what rain reminds me of-

-laughter-

-being able to entertain myself in the middle of the night because my sleep schedule is forever messed up-

-my prayer journal-

(Have you ever tried to write a poem? Lol please try it!!! Honestly I had so much fun being a little poet tonight. Pretty therapeutic if you ask me.)
