plants

i haven't written anything here in a long time. i haven't been prompted. but right now i'm working from home, on my balcony, in the shade, with a cool breeze making it okay that the sun is at my back. its about time for my lunch. God has made it so that i can survive on this earth, and extremely comfortably at that. every detail of the world is tailored to fit the needs of every living thing we know of. God made sure to take care of His glorious creation. all these thoughts have been swirling through my head by way of jess and i's recent obsession with plants. more specifically, plants that produce edible, delicious food. just yesterday we ate the first ripe tomato from our tomato plant. it was perfect, and now there are three more growing that we are waiting on to eat. its amazing. with some dirt, water, and sun, this strange little thing grows. it then produces fruit/vegetable, and we pick it and nourish our bodies so that we can grow and remain healthy. the cycle of life God has created makes my mind want to explode. its too perfect. you can tell me about photosynthesis, plant cell walls, chloroplasts, chlorophyll, the properties of water, and how everything 'works', but that doesn't make anything change in my mind. because i want to know 'why' those things. how do those things 'just happen'? sure we can explain these things through studying and experimentation, microscopes and lab coats, but you can't explain why it all works that way in perfect harmony with what the world provides. the world provides because God provides. if you can't see beauty (another word that can't be explained) in creation reflecting a wonderful, amazing Creator, then my only explanation is that the very Creator i speak of hasn't revealed Himself to You. God is incredibley visible. you just have to have your eyes opened. but why and how do our eyes open the way they do? well, maybe the way everything else works. God opens eyes.
