Look to the Sky

This past week I have become aware of how lost I am, but in the opposite way. I am so wrapped up in myself that I am failing to see the big picture. I am seeing the things and events and people within my own bubble, but nothing else. The simplest thing happened yesterday: I was riding to work on my bike and I looked up at the sky, and I gasped in utter surprise-surprised at the sky! I'm not sure what the initial shock was about, I can only guess that it is that I have physically been keeping to myself as well, not looking away from the path I walk on each day, even for a glance to the sky. The grandness and beauty of the sky grabbed my attention and reminded me that there is a world out there, and it grounded me a little bit, to bring me back to what I felt when I first got here, the feelings and knowledge of His greater purpose and plan for us all. It was a very sobering and humbling experience and I am so glad it happened. Now I just need to make a plan about how to intentionally "keep my eyes on the sky," and not focus on my familiar and routine path here.
