I have always been such an indoor girl, but my heart often yearns to step outside my comfort zone and embrace all of God's magnificent creations. And every time I do, I never regret it.
I have sat on the shores of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans; I have waded in lakes and streams and creeks; I have walked through wheat fields and corn fields and gazed out over expansive plains; I have hiked hills and mountains; I have rested under the shade of trees and napped on the sand.
These outdoor spaces have been perhaps the most peaceful of my life and I have felt closer to heaven than anywhere else--except for the holy temple.
God's handiwork is magnificent. And just stepping out into the wonderland of His creations electrifies me with awe.
Today we enjoyed a family day--eating at a restaurant, going to a movie, and weaving our way through a corn maze.
I was revived with the fresh air and tranquility.
How do you connect with nature?
If you ever need to come alive and strike a fresh sense of marvelous within you, step outside.
