Traveling with a Spectrum of Colors


So this is God! Greetings from Quito, Ecuador.

Yesterday I traveled with many people, of many nations, different walks of life, and religions. Being thoroughly entertained at what I saw and heard.. Conversations, accents, new humor and in general the common birth on diversity. They were as different as hairstyles and footwear.

My gate number was changed a few times and I got use to walking back and forth a lot. Which was a pleasure, for there was my mind exposed to my favorite things...colors, breathtaking sights and PEOPLE!

My departure from Atlanta to Miami was a bittersweet wet adios. Although I am not leaving forever, tears were present as I said goodbye to my loved ones. Security however, dried those tears soon enough.

But for my travel I had all I needed...people. They are the many colors I love. People are most wonderful! I find more joy in the unique differences of the people I traveled with than most anything.

More than luxury, or deluxe. They are a treasure within themselves. Like a wrinkle on my grandmother's corner smile; these people are so particular. I see God in all their numbers, replications, and intelligent movement. We are made in the image of Christ, in HIS image. We are made like the mighty God of the universe, that in itself just deepens HIS mystery. When I woke outside to a blazing sun and the great the beauty around me... I am amazed.

These lovely people are, every single one, made especially unique... How great is our God! It blows my mind to think of the depth of HIS sprit. We share in His colors but HIS palet is more profound than all.

I am blessed. I do not deserve to be here but if that be the case I will not take it for granted. May I keep a tight rein on my soul.. all the glory to God! As I love these people I love him. The colors of His pasture.

Love to all. Adios

  1. It's clear that this is where you are supposed to be and what you are meant to do. I definitely am not the first one to say it, but let me add to the noise. You're appreciation for all things involved in God's most pivotal creation is a trait to be loved in yourself by all. Take a deep breath Sarah Jane Murray, savor the scent of God's beautiful conglomerations. No one I've known has a love for them like you. I'm thinking about you and praying for you. Hoping this trips effects enhance as the time of your stay passes by and you can relish in each electrifying second with the thoughts of what God's amazing hands are bound to do. Lots of love your way, and Adios my Best Friend. :)

  2. (Just a little P.S. Sarah Jane. I've never seen you look more like Sarah Jane than when you are there, doing what you do. When you are there, it's like the repressed Sarah Jane that was here bursts out. You are you again, you are the girl I've seen hints and traces of. God is good!)
