refocus and delight

REFLECTIONS ON LIFE AND CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD. On days that I get to enjoy the outdoors and the walking trails in our community, I am overwhelmed with a sense of gratitude, appreciation, and awe. Gratitude for the opportunity to live another day, appreciation for the good weather, and the awesome wonder of God's creation.

As I walk the trail admiring the sunset, I am reminded of God's goodness and the countless blessings I have received. I thank him for all the gifts- gift of life, family, friendships, and fellowships and for all the opportunities to serve him and others. I thank him for the personal struggles, pain, and hardships for in these difficult moments I draw closer to him. I pray for those in need, grieving, and suffering.

As the sun slowly disappears in the horizon, I ask myself if I truly gave him glory through serving and discipleship. For all the seeds I've sown, I pray that God transforms their minds for the fullest lives ever lived.
