I was so excited to start my 2025 In Awe and Wonder faith based daily planner, that I began using it this week (October 20, 2024). The reason I was so excited is because lately I have been able to witness things around me that I did not want to forget! Things that just don't happen everyday. Let me share just a few of them.
1. In September, I got to see the planet Saturn through a gigantic telescope at an observatory near us. It was absolutely amazing.
2. In October, about five or so deer frequented our backyard to eat the acorns that had fallen to the ground. In our 8 years of living here we have never seen that before. One sweet deer has visited our yard several times by herself, so we named her "Princess".
3. This one is my favorite. It's something I have always wanted to see, but I thought I'd have to take a special trip to a colder region to be able to experience it. We actually got to see the Northern Lights from our backyard, right here in Pennsylvania!
4. A week later after our northern lights adventure, as I was driving to my evening shift at work, I saw the comet!
With each of these experiences my heart was bursting with so much gratitude that I could encounter His creation like this. It automatically positioned my heart in a posture of wonder and awe. Our God is so BIG! And moments like these show His sheer magnitude and beauty. I'm so thankful I can record my findings in my planner while creating memories like these with my family along the way!
