Welcome!

Describe a time in your life when you have been amazed by God's creation. I call these times "Wow Moments." Maybe it was when you noticed something new outside, or when you really thought about something you were learning in Science. Make sure you describe the situation and then explain why it amazed you.

Also, be sure to put your name at the end of your comment. :)

I was leaving my godfather's house, when my dad saw someting on a wire in a forest. I looked up and I saw an owl. It was awesome! I was only 11. I never thought I would see one. Owls seem rare to me. Owls aren't something you'd see often.

When I was at the beach one time and i picked up a handful of sand. Someone said to me, "God knows exactly how much sand is in your hand right now." It amazes me to know that God knows every little thing like how much sand there is at a beach.

A wow moment in my life was when we were in Africa. We saw so many people who were living in houses made of dung and they didn't even mind. They had also said that 2 nights before we went to their village a lion got in and ate some of their animals. So it was just a wow moment to hear that nobody (except the eaten animals) were hurt. It was also amazing to see all of the animals their that God created. -Paige VanDrunen

A wow moment for me was when my family and I were in Jamaica over the summer and we had to be driven from one end of the country to another. We had to go over a slab of concrete called the flat bridge that only one car could cross at a time because it was raging rapids right under it and surrounding us all was a whole mountain range and on the other side was ocean. It was just so beautiful.

A wow moment was when my grandpa almost died from cancer. It went away, but now he has very little red and white blood cells. He also does not have enough oxygen cells. If they give him another transplant it will kill him. This situation has really strengthened my faith in Jesus.

A wow moment in my life is when I was in Jamaica and a huge mountainside was next to the Caribbean Sea as my family was driving along the road to Negril, Jamaica. This amazed me because I had never seen a mountain range alongside a sea or ocean before. Once I thought about how beautiful that sight was I realized how great God is.

Sometimes I think about how he created people and how amazing it is. If you just notice how you're alive and how you can think and feel it's just so amazing. Like right now, I'm actually alive and I'm thinking and no one else is. You know how when you look at people and they're talking but you can't think for them. You can think for yourself though. Just think about how you can actually do things and how your alive and no one else. It's very amazing isn't it?

One time when I noticed something good about God's creation was when I saw a spider making a web. I never knew that the spider goes up and down and swings when it is making it's web. That is a great creation that God has made.

One of my "wow moments" was seeing the pictures from Katrina in an email. I was stunned to see the different kinds of cloud formations in the sky. It was cool to think about how something so beautiful could be so powerful in many ways.

One "wow moment" for me was a few winters ago. I was looking outside my window one morning after it had just snowed about 3 inches. The sun was shining on it and it looked like the whitest white I had ever seen. As I was thinking about this I was thinking of a song that goes like "sin had left a crimson stain, he washed it white as snow". I thought that was an amazing way to think of it, Jesus washes us whiter than snow.

One "wow moment" I can remember was when I went to Turkey Run National Park in the Spring a couple of years ago. In some parts of this trail we went on there was still snow that hadn't melted yet. It was really amazing how God created places like that, where things can just stay cold. Also, when I was there, I got to climb this waterfall. That was really fun and really cool.

My family took a trip to Arizona and we went to Nevada to see the Grand Canyon. We were looking for a certain place and we got lost in the desert for eight hours(It's a long story :P) Well it was dark and we took a break from driving around and we were staring up at the sky and there were so many stars and it was really really pretty. Another time was at camp, we had an outside chapel and we were sitting on logs and the speaker said if you listen really hard, you might here God speaking. I sat there and listened to the breeze and the trees rustling and I could tell he was with me. This fact really comforts me because I would feel so alone and scared if I didn't have him with me.

In the summer I went to New Orleans,Lousiana for a family reunion. While we were there we saw houses and buildings that showed how high flood was. It was a wow moment because some tall buildings had marks of the water around the top.

My favorite wow moment was when I saw my first rainbow. It was right after a bad scary storm. and then this arrangment of colors formed in the sky, and I thought it was the coolest thing in the world. And my grandma told me it was proof that God was protecting us throughout the storm.

I was in Yellowstone National State Park and had just hiked a long trail with my family. The trail had lead us to a part of this lake. I had seen a little more of the trail that was unmarked up ahead and convinced my family to go on. After about 5 minutes of hiking through heavy foliage and hangning tree branches we found ourselves under a low canopy of trees were a few rocks emerged.We climbed on the rock and saw a really amazing site, huge mountains surrounded us with waterfalls trickling down the rocks, the sky was really blue that day as well, there were slopes with snow on them-Graeme B.

The thing i like about God's creation is when the seasons change. In fall, the leaves change to different colors. In the winter, the snow falls and makes a pretty winter scene. In the spring, the plants and flowers sprout back up naturally. In the summer, the sun shines all of the time. It could rain if God wanted it to, but for the most part, the sun is always shining. I also like the some of the ecosystems God created, like rain forests. In a rain forest, there are beautiful plants and trees, and there are also different kinds of animals that might live in there.

One wow moment in my life was when my grandpa stopped breathing, he code blued, but the doctors brought him back, but he died a year or 2 ago.
Another moment was once in science class about a week ago, I zoned out (sorry...) and started thinking about how amazing it is that we can understand different languages and know what things mean when people say them.

My most amazing "Wow Moment" was when I witnessed a cat giving birth to kittens. I was at my grandmother's house when I spotted a fat cat under her porch. I love cats, so I picked her up and brought her into the garage. At first I wanted to play with the cat, but she seemed sluggish and was not in a playful mood. So, I sat her down on an old rug. Minutes later, I noticed the cat's abdomen was contracting and then...BAM! She pushed out a sac filled with blood and water. The cat began to lick the sac and it tore open. Thats when I saw the first kitten. It was wet, and it seemed almost lifeless. As she continued to lick the kitten it began to stir. The experience was unbelievebly disgusting. I was amazed at how such a graphic birthing process could bring forth such a beautiful kitten. Seeing this cat give birth expanded my thoughts about how God gives life not just to humans, but animals as well. I realized that God is soveriegn over all living creatures. -Victoria A.

A time when God amazed me was when I was on a family vacation in Wyoming. We went to the Badlands and it was so cool. I looked around and saw all of the rocks and the mountains. It was hard to describe. I just found it so beautiful, all the different colors and shades and the shapes that the rocks could take.

This summer I was in Ontario, Canada and I saw Niagra Falls. It was amazing to me because it's so beautiful and the water is rushing down so fast it's kind of frightening. We also went on a boat tour called the Maid of the Mist. You got to go pretty close to the falls. You felt like you were in a rainstorm. The water was splashing inside the boat and all around you so hard you couldn't see.

A time in my life when i was a amazed because of God's creation was when the rays of sunlight were shining through the clouds. This happens a lot but it amazes me every time. It reminds me of the bible videos when the rays are shining down on the people God is talking to and the rays as God's voice.
