I was born to tell you I love you

I love it when scripture talks about nature doing things. Like in Psalm 98 that says, "Let the rivers clap their hands, let the mountains sing together for joy." I went camping with the youth group this weekend and we had a BIG time. We accidentally left most of the food in Rock Hill and I might have a semi-broken toe and the rain flooded our tent a little, but it was great being outside! I don't really get a big high from being out in nature and hanging out with spiders, I mean it's cool and all. But I do like getting away from everything. I'm a big star watcher when I get the opportunity. I read that on average, in 1 square inch of the Amazon jungle, there are 3,000 different species of trees. The average elm tree has 6 million leaves, and a caterpillar has 228 seperate and distinct muscles just in it's HEAD. I mean who makes that stuff up? I am definetly not that detailed. When I'm outside I like to look around and see just how detailed our Creator is and get a strong humbling feeling out of it. God created all of these things out in nature and all of these billions of galaxies and it's all to praise him. Oceans stop and start in a certain place to praise him, trees and plants grow and die to praise him, and he called it all GOOD for a reason. And here we are as humans, created for that very same thing. I'm usually reminded everytime I spend a good amount of time outside that maybe I was given life for the same purpose that all these other things were. To bring praise to the God who deserves it and that's all. I mean the God who created all these things is for some reason concerned with me. He was extremely detailed when He thought me up. hmmm.
