“And you are more valuable than they are”. Luke 12:24

If I could, I would. But I can’t. It’s just “too” much you know. Too diverse. Too BIG, too God… apparently Him you know. I try to put into words the crazy love He has for me but they don’t express the way my heart feels they should. It’s as if a small child were to explain rocket science. See, it’s quite impossible. The darn little one would stomp his foot and pound his fist.

I see Him in ALL things these days. I think He is having the grandest time watching me find Him in all of it as well. It started with those darn “birds” the other day. Everywhere my head swiveled there they were. It’s as if every bird in Baton Rouge wanted to pass my car, fall in my line of sight, fly my way, pass in front of me. I laugh at the God-ness of it all cause it’s one of those things that if I tried to explain you would stop listening. He just wanted me to get it you know… His care for me, the magnitude of love He has for me!

I have to tell you, “I am NO bird-watcher of any sort”. If anything I have mocked the sport and enjoyed mocking it indeed. BIRDS>>> as if… don’t we have a bit more to do than “watch” flurry, flying things PERCH on a limb or wisp from tree to tree??? One would think.

So it was about 5 weeks ago to the day and all the sudden it was as if Alfred Hitchcock’s bird story came alive all over again. They weren’t trying to kill me or anything but they were definitely MAKING their POINT> I couldn’t escape them. It started with a lone blue bird. He caught my attention one random morning as I drank my tea and looked into the front yard in my half sleeping blur. There he was… all beautiful and blue. I watched his little self and for some reason became acutely aware of his significance and then he went off and me as well. So there it all began. From that moment forward I saw blue birds and red birds and every other sort of bird making it’s way into my life someway, somehow.

One day I even saw two dancing in a parking lot as I was about to pull out… Just bouncing up and down, back and forth RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF ME… I had to stop and stare. I was cracking up as I shot the picture of them for my friend to see. It’s outlandish if you think about it too long. But y’all for WEEKS this has been my life! BIRDS>>>> LOTS OF FREAKIN BIRDS>>>> I even went to the extent of lookin up what “bluejays” represent and of course to no avail. Just a bird.Then I ask Him, “why the blue ones”… and He says this… “blue’s your favorite”… I died. I was laughing out loud at this point… His crazy love me… all to get into my little, thick head that He is just so enthrawled with me… little ol me.

I defaulted back to Him. I looked up the Scripture about the whole deal and it just soothed me to my soul. “Look at the birds. They don’t need to plant or harvest or put food in barns because your heavenly Father feeds them. And you are far more valuable to him than they are.”
