how God used bing, xbox, and a treadmill to soothe my soul

I went to bed with a heavy heart and woke with it just as heavy. The to-do list so long, but so many things preventing progress with things of the future weighing on my mind. And I didn't want to go run. I just wanted to sleep.

But I trudged on, trying to give thanks for the the trials.

I turned on the tablet, plugged in the head phones, and started the treadmill. On went xBox music, faster went my feet. But I needed something to look at. "Pretty landscapes" entered into Bing. With the flip of my finger... lakes, mountains, clouds.

As I looked at the pictures, I was awed by God's amazing creation. I realized that if He can create that, then he can fix my petty problems, or at least soothe my soul and give me peace. How little my faith is.

And a song played words:
Cause I know I could love you the most
If I were the one you chose
You wouldn't ever have to walk alone
And there is not a thing I wouldn't do
If I lived my life for you
We could have everything because I know you…
Never know what you have 'til it's gone
No, you never know what you have  
(Jon McLaughlin - You Never Know)

 And I heard:
Cause you know I can love you the most
If I were the one you chose
You wouldn't ever have to walk alone
And there is not a thing I wouldn't do
If you lived your life for Me
You could have everything... (peace, joy, salvation)
(God)

And I almost cried. And nodded my head. "Yes, Lord. Yes. You make this wonderful creation. You can do all things. You touch my heart. I want to live for you. Help me..."
