globes, maps, shower curtains & the Father

while driving to target the first weekend meagan and i had moved to atlanta i mentioned that i wanted one of those map-of-the-world shower curtains. from there i went on about how i've always wanted a globe and that i love looking at maps and knowing where places are. we kinda laughed about my randomness and moved on in the conversation.
we arrived at target and were looking in the bathroom section and right there on the shelf was a miniture globe!
I'm here. I'm listening. I'm attentive. My gaze is fixed on You constantly.
i bought the $1 globe without hesitation, completely filled with joy on the inside because of the sweetness of my Father.

this past weekend i was in nashville for fletcher's graduation. the whole family was there, which was great but my introverted self started going crazy by friday afternoon. i was pretty unpleasant to be around much of that night and saturday to be honest. and even in my grumpy, stubborn, not loving state He kisses me.
saturday afternoon we ventured to the Tomato Art Festival, where although the street was packed, i knew it was my getaway. i wondered around looking at the art and just enjoying some time by myself. i was walking through this old house filled with beautiful antiques and there it was...a bookshelf filled with globes. at least 10. again i heard,
I'm here. i'm listening. I'm attentive. My gaze is fixed on You constantly.

again at target today, my mom and i were looking at shower curtains and there it was..the world map. of course i bought it. besides the fact that its completely sweet, its the best reminder and i hope i hear it every time for the rest of my life when i see a globe or world map, the sweet voice of my Father,
I'm here. I'm listening. I'm attentive. My gaze is fixed on You constantly.
