“Don’t wait for extraordinary opportunities. Seize common occasions and make them great!” 

A golden sunset shining through a fresh rain; the sun sets every day and it always rains in the spring. The moment was perfect, the opportunity was seized. 

God displaying His goodness through His creation is a treasure. In every occasion, He is great!

Every good and perfect gift comes from Him.

 

 "Arise, shine, for your light has come,
    and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you." - Isaiah 60:1

"He covers the heavens with clouds; he prepares rain for the earth; he makes grass grow on the hills.  

He gives to the beasts their food, and to the young ravens that cry.

His delight is not in the strength of the horse,
    nor his pleasure in the legs of a man,

But the Lord takes pleasure in those who fear him,
    in those who hope in his steadfast love." -Psalm 147:8-11

 "Yours is the day, yours also the night; you have established the heavenly lights and the sun." - Psalm 74:16

From the rising of the sun to its setting, the name of the Lord is to be praised! - Psalm 113:3

“Learn everything you can, anytime you can, from anyone you can—there will always come a time when you will be grateful you did.”

An intellectual, an artist, an enchantment, that’s Josie. She is tall, slender, and freckled. Her eyes, as you can see, are deep and filled with wonder.

Josie looks at life through curious glasses. Everything is beautiful to her. Everywhere and in everything there is something to learn. It is that reason that we all have something to learn from her.

Like her paradigm, there should be no fear in asking questions—deep, hard questions. Modeling her, humility should be pursued—there is always something new to learn.

She is mature beyond her years.

Wherever she is, she is all there.

Shallow social media really cannot define a person’s true character. Online, she seemed very sweet and kind, but in person—wow, oh wow! She is so much deeper, sweeter and kinder than imaged. Meeting Josie is going to be a memory cherished. 

Your blue eyes and freckles and your smile. 

Your sweet disposition + wide eyed gaze. 

Josie, sweet Josie.
