Super Moon

It's glaring down on me right now through my front window as I write, the Super Moon. It's so beautiful in the dark black sky. Tonight there isn't even a cloud, just the brightness of the moon lighting up the night. The beauty of creation, there are no words to describe the awe and reverence you feel when you look at the glory of it.

It really makes you think about life, when you see the stillness of the night sky, the beauty of creation. It puts things into perspective almost as much as a slap in the face.  We are cared for so much by our heavenly Father. Though we struggle to get through each day, he sustains us. He gives us exactly what we need when we need it.

I look back over the past few days, and I feel so blessed to have had some time to breath. I feel like I can start again, just like the fullness of the moon.

However I know, as sure as the moon begins another cycle, I will have days ahead that feel just like the moon in its different stages, from full, to half and even down to a sliver barely holding it's place in the sky, and me to sanity. This is something I have come to expect, the different phases of raising a young family.  The hard part is remembering that when things are at their worst, and I am feeling like I am holding on by a sliver, that there is relief around the corner. It may not be as glorious as the Super Moon in the sky tonight. But it will surely come, in some way. Tonight it comes in this moment of reflection, preparing myself for the next few days, maybe weeks ahead.

I will continue to follow this cycle until I am standing,  looking up at the nights sky with my children feeling as glorious as this Super Moon in the fullness of perfection, that will never come to an end!
