Cotton candy skies – sunset
Be a pure water droplet. For how much influence can one little particle of water have upon a large body of water?

Fresh Beginnings
The sunrise is spectacular. Simply stunning and utterly breath-taking! Words can't begin to describe the beauty of the dawning morning hues that shade the horizon. The sun has yet to make its appearance and shine beams of light into the sky. The air is fresh, carrying the scent of Jasmine blossoms on a soft and gentle breeze. A meadowlark sits atop a leaning fencepost and chirps melodiously. The sky, displayed as navy blue, slowly shifts to a deep violet. As time ticks on, wisps of colors are added, smeared here and there, just as if God were dipping his fingertips into paint and hand-crafting each pixel. The deep colors faintly lighten to pale lavender, pastel pinks, sherbet orange, and sunshine yellow. No two patches are identical, nor ever will be; each is entirely unique. The beauty of the sky could only be created by a higher Power.
There is a God and He cares for you, He loves you so much. Why else would He custom the sunrise every morning, but to cheer your day and warm you heart? Just like the clean sky every morning, God offers you a clean slate each and every day.
"This I recall to my mind, therefore I have hope. Through the Lord's mercies we are not consumed. Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. 'The Lord is my portion,' says my soul, 'Therefore I hope in Him!' The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him." (Lamentations 3:21-25)
He is faithful to promise us a new beginning every single day. No matter how bad we messed up yesterday. We need to give it our best and make the most of everything. Don't carry the worries of yesterday into today. Let go of your regrets and start anew. Let us not wary of falling, but if we do so, let it be to our knees. For there is One stronger, who is able to carry us through.
We tend to get stuck in our past and faults, that grasping the hope of a fresh start seems out of reach. The past is just a path to your future, don't let it determine your destiny. Your prospect cannot be hindered by even the darkest events in history, if surrendered to God. Let God make your life like a beautiful sunrise, unique and perfect!
Won't you call to Him today and accept His merciful gift? Make today what you wish yesterday had been; give it your all.

Faulty
What a beautiful day! The sun is high in the bright blue, cloudless sky and sunflowers point boldly upwards with their sunny faces. A gentle breeze rushes through the grassy field, yet does little to stiffle the blistering heat. A drive up to Faulty Trail is in store, a quick escape to a hide-away. You can't handle the pressures of the week anymore. Not too far up the path the temperature already begins to decrease. And not much farther along the atmosphere completely changes. The scenery goes from the drab evergreens to the lush vibrant greens. A stream is heard gurgling up ahead, splashing over the rocks.
