Inspirations

  The world we live in is crazy!  There are shootings every day. We love new experiences and learning about our world,  but we don't know our neighbor. We preach tolerance but refuse to tolerate those who  think differently than we do.   Disease is rampant in our world. People bit and devour each other in their efforts to get a better place. We marry expecting our spouse to be there, but the first storm hits they run often using kids as pawns to hurt each other.  Yes, this world is a crazy place,  but amidst all the twists and turns and craziness of this world,  I have found a solid rock. One that does not shift or move no matter what happens. God. I lie down at night and sleep in peace. and I can rise in the morning with hope because God is in control. I am thankful that the God I serve is in control,  and he is strong enough to face the fiercest battle and win. Crazy does not bother God. He already knows how messed up this world is, That's  why we need him

Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, Genesis 3:8               On days when I am faced with things beyond my control.  When my troubles seem to overwhelm me,  one of the most calming things that I can do is head outside and go for a long walk.   As I walk,  I find my muddled mind cleared  and I can clearly see the mind of God.   My worries disappear as I set my focus on God and my peace is restored.   As I commune with God,  my spirit and soul are renewed so that I can face my problems with new energy.   Thank you, God, for those long walks when the air is warm,  and I can enjoy nature.   These times are a blessing.   Other times, my walks are more fun than anything else.   My mind and heart is already calm, so I revel in the creation of God.   Sometimes the walks take me along familiar paths  and other times to new and unfamiliar places.    Walks are always a blessing and walking with God is sweeter still.
