Found - Meadow

This is where I have been finding God lately, not just this week but for several weeks now.  

I'm blessed to drive past this beautiful meadow everyday on my way to work.  It has become my "happy place".  It just looks so peaceful and every time I pass it I imagine myself laying down in that meadow, looking up at the sky, and just breathing in the quiet.  Of course in my fantasy, those beautiful golden weeds would not produce any sneeze inducing allergens :)

Sometimes God just throws something like this out at me and sometimes I need to be just a wee bit more intentional in my looking.  But He is always there, and you can always find a glimpse if you look.

Where are you finding God this week?

The contorted filbert tree...

it graces our backyard, right off of our deck, and it is where I found God this week.  

This tree is all twisted and gnarly and well.... truthfully a bit weird.  

It's rather a lot like me.  

I am broken and twisted and half the time don't know which way I'm going.
But even I can see there is much beauty to be found in this crazy tree.  

So it struck me....  

God made this tree and if there is beauty in it's warped nature, then there is beauty in us too.  

He is in his heaven and we are his beloved children.  

A bit gnarly and contorted yes....but loved.   

What could be more wonderful that that?!

So I'm doing a new link-up today that I think is just awesome!
  It's hosted by Beautifully Rooted.  The challenge is to find God in your daily life through your camera to serve as a visual reminder that He is with us, always.

This is where I found God this week....

 

In the feet of my little one.  

Those precious feet that will carry him through so much in this life.  He will trudge on them through the hard times and dance on them in the good.  But he will never walk on them alone.

Psalm 121

A song of ascents. ¹ I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
   where does my help come from?
² My help comes from the LORD,
   the Maker of heaven and earth.
 ³ He will not let your foot slip—
   he who watches over you will not slumber;
⁴ indeed, he who watches over Israel
   will neither slumber nor sleep.
 ⁵ The LORD watches over you—
   the LORD is your shade at your right hand;
⁶ the sun will not harm you by day,
   nor the moon by night.
 ⁷ The LORD will keep you from all harm—
   he will watch over your life;
⁸ the LORD will watch over your coming and going
   both now and forevermore.
