Be Still and Know...

Today, I went out to Camp Carl after being cooped up all week indoors from the cold and snow. I walked Romans Road in deep snow all the way out to the out door chapel. As I walked; I did not have a thought in my mind just a song of worship on my heart until I got to my destination. This road I have walked for at least five years at different points of my life. Many times before, this walk was met with such intense thought and intense crying out to God. Today, this walk was peaceful.

When I got out to the out door chapel I laid down in the snow looking up into the sky through the bare trees. The wind was lightly blowing and snow gently falling and landing on my face. I was wearing my new coat and was so comfortable and not too cold laying there. As I lay, nothing went through my mind. I could hear the wind and well the soft call of traffic on the highway, but nothing was on my mind. Peace. I Was Still. What an Awesome thing, to have fought through and have made it to a place that in the midst of the storm, I can find a place to be still and know that God is in control. Nothing in my life's circumstances has changed, I have changed.

What an amazing God we serve. I will cherish that time with God out at camp today. My hope is to go to that place, walk in that place, and to be still and know that he is God all the time.
