Devotional Diary: Fall. Along The Path…

November 3, 2013 By momcafe 20 Comments

Devotional Diary  FallA week or so ago, I took a quick walk in the fall foliage… just what I needed to clear my mind.  It became a reflection of a much higher view, once again.  This perspective awakened the deepest parts of my faith, and magnified a vision that far exceeded the scenery along the path.

I’ve been living there for some time.  But it is good.  And bad.  And worth writing about.

So if you have the time to take it in with me, I would be honored.  Grateful.  It’s amazing what comes of silence, when you open your heart to more…

You can read it here.

I miss connecting.  But I know I will be up and moving soon.  Not soon enough, for my liking.  But soon enough in the big picture of things.  This is but a bump in the road, of many.  And for that I am grateful.

But I hurt.

A lot.

So I will try to rest more, heal more, and pray for more restoration to come.

Until then, please know how grateful I am for all of your precious prayers and love.

Oh, so grateful.

So grateful.

Now, if you would…

Come join me on my walk.

      I need this plastered on my forehead Christina! It’s SO hard to sit back and NOT do so much that I need/want to do. My body has definitely taken over my desire though. I am trying to pace myself as best I can.

      Thank you for your perfect words of encouragement, my friend. XO

    I have gotten out of the habit of taking walks, but it is something I need to do more- especially this time of year because fall is so beautiful and it is renewing, refreshing. Prayers for your continued healing!

      I agree Lisa! This time of year is so beautiful and so nostalgic! The colors are amazing, the air is fresh, and the time alone for me is so peaceful… it always renews my perspective when I walk. 🙂

      I was crazy last week trying to get three articles done for this week at the three sites I write for now- it was good timing, because Lord knows I couldn’t really craft any good sentences this week! I have one more coming out tomorrow I think- on a new site. 🙂

      Thanks so much for your constant support Jen. It just means so so much to me. I am anxious to catch up on your blog… I am trying to pace myself. Unfortunately, this damn pain has been consuming me. Ugh. Just trying to at least get going on my comments. That’s a start, right? 😉
