It is so frustrating to me that cameras, or any other piece of technology for that matter, can quite capture what it is I see.
The light was streaming, pure and golden, through the hundred year old evergreen trees surrounding the cabin. The snow scattered itself across the mossy, log-strewn ground, and the river, strong and beautiful, roared beneath the drop-off next to the little building. I kind of stood there for a minute, in the middle of it all, and stared. The sunlight simply kissed the ground, urging the saplings upwards...
Even my words can't do it justice, dang it. I tried taking a picture but it didn't convey the absolute beauty I was presented with in that moment. Gosh, that drives me nuts. I can't describe it right and I can't take a picture of it and I can't just take someone there in that instant to see the beauty of it...!!! Agh! It was so pretty! I swear things like that happen all the time to me. All. The. Time. At least my memory has it perfectly framed, right? I want everyone to see what I see though.
That's how I feel, and have always felt, about the gospel. In my younger days {even though I am pretty young as it is, haha} I would imagine I was on a cliff looking out over the most gorgeous of scenes with a pile of treasure at my feet. I had the world right there! But I was alone. So I would try to tell my friends, "guys! guys! looooook! I found this awesome viewpoint and there's all this gold and stuff there too! come see! I want to share this with you!!!" but they didn't want any part of it. Of course, one can see how frustrating this would be. You don't even know what you're missing out on, people!!! Come on!!! I wanted my friends to be as happy as I am, to understand the beautiful and life-changing truths that I have found. Unfortunately, they don't want any part of it. If only they'd try it.. :( Because, honestly, the gospel has changed everything for me. It's made me who I am. It has become the center point and guiding principle in my life. It's my everything. It's amazing and I want everyone to share that with me.
