Presence of my God

    Supper dishes are left on the table. We have more important things to do.. that being getting outside for awhile. Evening walks can be a huge benefit in your life. 

   They can be one of two things for me, a time where everything hits me and is overwhelming, or a time of quiet, with a calm heart. Devotion to my God.. and that’s what it was tonight.  Not many steps into it,  “in the morning, I will listen as You speak to my heart, in tones of quietness and of blessing as the day gets it start” was what I was singing. Except I wanted to change it to say “evening” instead. ‘In the evening I will listen as You speak to my heart’. The sky was so pretty. Light blue right above me with white wispy clouds, then fading into the orangish pinkish sunset with dark blue clouds against it. One lone star shone brightly, finishing off the masterpiece. Gorgeous. “I praise You in the morning light when the day is fresh and new, and when the stars come out at night my thoughts are turned to You”… 

   Warm air. Sticky air. Aerators running. Mosquitos buzzing. Brother riding bike. Pretty sky. Calm mind. Full heart. 

   I needed this. After the last couple weeks being the type of weeks they were, with such a busy mind and plenty of stress and emotions running all over the place, I definitely needed this. I don’t know that God necessarily ‘spoke to my heart’… nothing great big anyway. But His presence was there. How else can I go on a walk in muggy Mississippi weather on pond levees, after the last couple weeks being like they were, and have such a calm? I am loved out there. I can be comfortable with me, with who me is. I can believe He made me exactly like He wanted me to be, He didn’t make a mistake. Hard things seem possible. Fear seems not quite so real. The next few months with all the changes, not that they’re bad, but there will be changes, seems doable. Life seems like maybe it actually will be okay. Mindset changes. His plan IS best for me, if I will just submit and trust, I can see that. Everything is better when I’m with Him. I can’t explain it, but it’s real and it’s amazing.
