Beautiful Things

Sometimes in all of the busyness of life, I can easily let my mind skip over so many beautiful gifts God has blessed my life with. Just looking outside my window, I have a beautiful lush green yard. I live in a beautiful foresty town. Flowers are popping up everywhere. In the past few months my hair has gotten so long and feels so pretty! I have a beautiful healthy child (who just turned 3!) and a very handsome fiance romancing me with flowers, letters, and gifts constantly. Though so many things in my life try to distract my thoughts toward the negative, beauty shines all around me.

The inspiration for this blog post came from this song. It is so refreshing I feel like every time I listen to it is the first time. Enjoy!

All this pain
I wonder if I’ll ever find my way
I wonder if my life could really change at all
All this earth
Could all that is lost ever be found
Could a garden come up from this ground at all

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

All around
Hope is springing up from this old ground
Out of chaos life is being found in You

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

You make me new, You are making me new
You make me new, You are making me new
You are making me new

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us

You make me new, You are making me new
You make me new, You are making me new
