Wow And Awe!

April 22, 2014 By Jean Wise

healthyspirituality.org

Two words: Wow! Awe!

These words leap from our hearts seizing our breath when we dive into wonder. We are so mesmerized, captured by amazement, we can barely mumble one syllable.

Anne Lamott describes it as when we feel the breath of the invisible, of the eternal. We are shaken awake, we notice, we grasp that there is more than just ourselves, our lives.

On Easter morning when I reflect on the depth of God’s love – I stand in awe and wonder and hold my hands up in a thrilling WOW!

This is how I felt watching this TED talk about wonders when movement is slowed down so we can really see what is happening or sped up for us to enjoy. To ponder the tiny and consider the immense.

Take a moment to enjoy, then thank the Lord of Creation for reminding us of his Wow and Awe. The Wonder of God.

    Oh … so good to be back here again, Jean. I’ve been away from others’ blogs for the past month during my book release, and it’s been such a joy to visit some of you again this morning. Is your headshot new? Just lovely!

    Happy Easter, friend.

      Just prayed for you this morning then found your comment a little later. Love it when we think of each other probably about the same time! Yes this is part of my enfold process. Thanks for pointing that out!

          Thanks for asking about the writing. I am getting close to deadline the 30 devotions for Barbour. Have them done but most not in the best shape yet. deadline is May 15 but I am gone most of next week. I think I will use this summer and challenge myself to finish the book proposal and submit to agents by Sept. I really need to attempt this next step. Thanks so much for asking. I appreciate it.
