From the the top of my hotel balcony, I sat and watched, while eating my french breakfast (cheese and pastries, yum!) the beautiful view before me - the Eiffel Tower.
It was our honeymoon and my husband had surprised me by booking the "honeymoon suite" on the top floor of our hotel with our own private balcony and view of the Eiffel Tower. It was truly the best view in the world.
Saying goodbye to our Paris balcony was difficult because it was so hard to tear myself away from such a breathtaking view and knowing that I would go home to a view of a sporting field didn't make it any easier.
I guess I always wanted my life to be this exciting. Climb the Eiffel Tower, spend a day in Paris Disneyland and then shop at the most famous and exclusive shopping mall in the world - the Champs Eylsees.
There are times in life when you have the most amazing experience in the world and you don't won't to go home because you are leaving that view behind - nothing else seems as exciting anymore.
When I came home from my honeymoon, I expected to feel this way for quite a while. I did for a little bit but one day I woke up to a new view - God's view for my life. Suddenly the time I spent climbing the Eiffel Tower didn't seem as important as the view God was showing me for my life.
While the road may be tough along the way, I can't ever imagine wanting to take myself away from the view because I know there will be so much joy that comes with it.
Have you seen your view yet?
