Take a hike

Today was a get out and explore kind of day. It might not have looked that way on the surface, but the mist and fog gave the woods an ethereal feeling. For the first time ever, there were no other hikers at Sky Bridge. It was quiet, peaceful. The only sound was the water dripping from the leaves onto the rocks. It was an apt time to reflect, take stock of what’s important in your life. Often it seems we wait for the perfect moment to do something. We only head out for adventure when the conditions are just right, or after we’ve marked so many things off our to-do lists. I implore you, take the hike. Life keeps coming. There will be another list tomorrow. And another group of reasons not to take that chance, pursue that goal, build that dream. The Lord commands us to be strong and courageous, to speak boldly without fear, for He goes with us. Spend some time with Him today doing something you’ve put off for too long. Something to make you hope. Help you heal. Or at least put a smile on your face. The best time to start is now.
