Tonight I went for a walk around the park. For some reason, I found myself walking with my head down. Then I looked up, and I saw this:
Such a beautiful sky. And a beautiful reminder to me to look up. These days my days are full. I said to one friend, I feel like my days are happening to me but that I'm not living fully in them. Now trust me, I know we just got home & transition is ongoing and what not. But tonight, as I walked hard & steady, if I'd kept my head down & just powered on, I would have missed this reminder of God's beauty, goodness, & nearness. My prayers lately basically consist of me gargling out the words, Jesus I need you. And I am honestly calling to Him when I say that. The comfort for me is that before the words are on my lips, I've got Him. He is with me. It is so good, and I am so thankful. I need only to look up.
"I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber"
Psalm 121:1-3
