点评:This thing wasn't even on our list of potential things to do. I didn't even know there was a space needle here. When I saw it in a brochure, we decided to do it (since it didn't require stairs or being suspended in the air). I had an unexpected moment of intense awe, tears, and release once we got to the top and I could take in the view. We were slightly pressed for time, but we stayed as long as we could so I could savor the moment and take it in. I had previously made an image for my phone's lock screen with Psalm 18:19 (NIV) on it: "He brought me out into a spacious place; he rescued me because he delighted in me." I might just remake it with a picture I took from this visit. I want to carry the moment and the sight of it with me. There was so much wrapped up in it. Just remembering that when you see how big everything is from above, everything below (including massive buildings) is so small. Look at the mountains. God made them and God made me; and this is just a small part of an area, in a state, in a nation, in the world, and in the whole universe! Remembering that there really is nothing too big, that God is bigger, and that His love for me is even GREATER..... that is EVERYTHING! God is GOD! There is so much more than our little world and what we see. Perspective really helps! I needed this moment SO MUCH because I am in the middle of trying to stay confident in a decision that I know is best for me. This was a moment of peace that is helping me override the knots and the acid churning in my stomach when the stress of the situation sends my blood pressure soaring and has me second-guessing everything. Whenever I feel overwhelmed by it, I'm going to think of this moment to bring back every good and beautiful thing that God spoke to my heart at the top of that space needle when I looked out at all the mountains. All of that peace and awe overtakes all the fear and anxiety. I'm so grateful!
翻译:这东西甚至不在我们计划的行程里。我之前都不知道这里有个太空针塔。当我在宣传册上看到它时,我们决定去看看(因为它不需要爬楼梯,也不用悬在空中)。当我们到达顶端,俯瞰美景时,我突然感到一阵强烈的敬畏、泪水和释然。我们时间有点紧,但我们尽可能地多待了一会儿,好让我能好好享受这一刻。我之前把诗篇18:19(新国际版)的经文做成了手机锁屏壁纸:“他领我到宽阔之地;他救了我,因他喜悦我。”我可能会用这次参观拍的照片重新做一张。我想把那一刻和眼前的景象永远珍藏。它蕴含了太多东西。当你从高处俯瞰一切时,你会意识到脚下的一切(包括高耸入云的摩天大楼)是多么渺小。看看这些山吧。上帝创造了它们,上帝也创造了我;而这仅仅是一个地区、一个州、一个国家、全世界乃至整个宇宙的一小部分!记住,没有什么事是真正巨大的,上帝比我们想象的更伟大,他对我的爱更是无比伟大……这就是一切!上帝就是上帝!我们所处的世界和我们所能看到的远比这广阔得多。换个角度看问题真的很有帮助!我太需要这一刻了,因为我正努力坚持一个我知道对我最好的决定。这一刻的平静帮助我克服了焦虑和胃里的翻腾,缓解了压力带来的血压飙升和自我怀疑。每当我感到不知所措时,我都会想起这一刻,重温上帝在太空针塔顶,当我眺望群山时,对我的心所说的一切美好话语。所有的平静和敬畏都战胜了所有的恐惧和焦虑。我无比感恩!
