Katie's prayer: Shawn McDonald's "Beautiful"

As I look off into the distance

Watching the sun roll on by

Beautiful colors all around me, oh

Painted all over the sky

The same hands that created all of this

They created you and I

The other day, I was driving down to a friends house for dinner. I really shouldn’t have gone. There was a huge storm with 60+ MPH winds, lots of rain, flash flooding warnings, coming across Kansas. I went anyway. I was driving south, the storm was coming east. I could totally see this huge wall of black clouds coming towards me. And while I was slightly afraid for my life (seriously), I still remember thinking, that is so pretty! Even a super ugly storm could look beautiful. As I’m listening to this song tonight, I have come to the conclusion that nothing God creates can be ugly. If anything should have been ugly, it should have been that storm, but it wasn’t. So if God makes even storms beautiful, then by default, everything else He makes must be beautiful as well. Including me.
