Puesta del Sol

I've been in Madrid for nearly two months now and I can say that I eventually established a routine after about a month. Rather than rattle off for you my schedule each day I wanted to share this sunset with you. This is the view from my bedroom window. Diana had just said good night to the kids when I told her to "Come in and check this out". She said it well, "That is the Spanish life". Small apartments, lots of people bustling about below and a gorgeous sunset. It was what she said next that I could not agree with more, "It makes me think of God and how small we all are".

Many of the people around my age are in the same position whether it's here in Spain or elsewhere. Each of us has our own story and can tell of the excitement, the stress, the questions about what to do next year or next month! I too have these questions floating around. I know that nothing is certain, life can change in an instant and that we are all here for a specific reason. The sunset moments like these help me to stop and realize that I am so small and not in control. They're like a special present from God to remind me of the beautiful future He has promised as I follow Him and to live in the moment He has given me.

Love to you all.
