A Morning Walk

The Lord is my shepherd [to feed, guide, and shield me], I shall not lack. He makes me lie down in [fresh, tender] green pastures; He leads me beside the still and restful waters.

Psalm 23:1-2 (AMP)

True to Your word, you let me catch my breath and send me in the right direction. Psalm 23:3 (MSG)

I have been enjoying my morning walks for a few weeks now and decided that I should share a few glimpses of the beauty that I see while walking. Okay, so here's the disclaimer, the pictures do not do my trail justice, so just imagine them being way prettier. Now breathe deeply, and come along on a journey with me. Feel free to walk in place while looking at the pictures, it may help with the visualization.

Here we go... This is the first bridge I cross on my walk. It invites me to embark on a journey.

A view of the creek. Lovely. Can you find the squirrel in this picture?

I love the sound of water trickling through the rocks. Very peaceful.

Another view of the creek. I just love it. As I walk, I think about how amazing God is and how beautiful His creation is and I am thankful!

Another bridge to cross. There is just something about bridges that I love, and they remind me of change, I don't know why?

It just keeps going and going. I know I mentioned that it's so peaceful, but it really is. It's just time for me to get to know Jesus better and to share my heart with Him.

Okay, so this is the big rock that sticks out into the water. I will typically get off the path and go stand on this rock and look out over the water. I think I am going to take a book out there one day and just sit on the rock and read.

So there you have it, my little morning excursion. I am thankful for these walks, I believe that they are seriously a special part of my journey with Christ. During this season, I have been growing! I know that change is coming, I can feel it. I think that through my walks, where I get to see the trees and all of nature as they are now, and how soon I will see them changing, is a special way of God showing me the amazing beauty of every season of life! I truly love life and am embracing all it has for me right now and in the future! Life with God is so amazing!
