Tonight I complained to Jordan about
not liking to take walks alone because we are in the city. I miss
living in the country and going for walks in nature alone. It was so
easy to hear and feel God in the middle of a forest or field. Here I
have to hone my skills. There is so much noise and concrete and cars
and ugh.
But as I walked God helped me
understand it in a new way.
“Look around you and you see man
trying to tame nature. Trying to dictate where things can and can't
grow. But everywhere my creation springs to life, unbidden. Weeds,
grass, flowers and trees pop up in rock beds, sidewalks, driveways
and parking lots. My creation and nature will always be around you,
you only have to look. It is relentless.”
o what a new perspective. I trust and
believe that one day we will get to live in the country again and I
will be able to go on walks down a dirt road or through a field or
down a forest lane. But until then I will try to remember that even
here in a concrete jungle I can find nature and I can still hear
God's voice.
