Journey: Uffizi Gallery

This morning, we got into the Uffizi Gallery line at 7:45 a.m., hoping that we would be able to get in when the museum opened. Once again, the favor of The Lord was with us, and we entered immediately.

For this museum, knowing there would be MANY works we would want to know more about, we purchased headsets so we could hear information about many of the significant works housed there.

The museum was INCREDIBLE. The museum itself--its walls and ceilings, floors and doors--was astoundingly beautiful. The artwork: INCREDIBLE.

We saw works by Michelangelo, Vermeer, Titian, daVinci, Raphael, Boticelli, and so many more! We saw PRIMAVERA, THE BIRTH OF VENUS, MADONNA WITH THE LONG NECK. Almost every room we entered, we were greeted by phenomenal art pieces by some of the greatest artists of all time.

Once again, I felt utterly amazed and overwhelmed by what God had allowed for me to witness.

I wish everyone could KNOW what is in my heart to say:

"OUR GOD IS AWESOME. HE REALLY IS. HE CAN DO ANYTHING. MOVE MOUNTAINS, TAKE YOU ANYWHERE, OPEN DOORS THAT SEEM HUMANLY IMPOSSIBLE. HE LOVES TO SHOW HIMSELF TO US, LOVE ON US, SHOW US HOW VAST HIS STRENGTH AND SIGHT."

Prayer: "I love you, Almighty God. You amaze me more and more every day. Thank you for everything, and every blessing. Thank you for your love. Your deep reaching love to us. I am in awe of you...."
