What a Day

So Sunday I got up at 7am (rare for me) and I went for a walk at Rolley lake with my friend and his dog. As I was walking around the lake I was taken back by the beautiful day. The sun was shining and it was coming through the trees, the water was clear and it was not a very cold morning. It was sooooo nice. I began to........appreciate all the beauty that God had created again and I have not done that in a long time. Can anyone else relate?
You know, I am so busy working and worrying about being here or being there, getting this done or getting that done that I forget what God has done and created. When I was at the lake I felt closer to God then I have in a long time and you know what? None of that other stuff mattered at that moment. I was just living in the moment and I have not done that in a long time. I didn't worry if I was going to be late for church, I was enjoying the company I was with and the day God had given us.
That walk opened up a door for me. I can't say what door but at church Rose came and talked to me and I just lost my mask. I can honestly tell you to cry by myself is hard enough but to do it in public I almost never do, but for the first time I didn't care anymore. God basically showed me that he was around me all the time and he loved me, I can't really explain it but that is how I felt on the walk. He has also shown his love by putting people in my life who know me and still love me anyway, I have been going through a little bit of a......... not so good time and they have really been there for me (THANKS) and shown me a love I didn't know was there.
I think that was why street church was soooo much fun, because again I just let go and had a great time. I loved how that felt. Sunday God helped me to see life beyond the plans and schedules, He helped me to see it the way he made it. For that I am grateful.
