Today I had the opportunity to go out on a lake in a boat with one of my closest friends, and it was simply beautiful. After doing some fishing (not "catching", mind you) it was amazing to just sit and listen to the wind rustle through the trees, the birds calling, and the water swishing. How could I not be freaking out about how lovely God's nature is?! He really loves us enough to make life beautiful and enjoyable for us; He didn't put us on earth to be miserable! So here's my charge: go outside (a lake, the ocean, the woods, etc) and SIT and be STILL with God, the Maker of the creation you're living in. While you're there, bring your Bible and read. Pray. Sit and be still before God. Listen to Him, because I can assure you, if you're listening He will speak!!
Go have some quiet time with God, it's not just something "nice" to do, it's needed time that's refreshing and faith strengthening!!
If you need me, I'll be outside, enjoying this beautiful earth that God created for my pleasure as much as His.
God bless and blog soon
