He Makes Me Lie Down in Green Pastures

It is the first of the year 2015 and I am taking some time to be a Papa God's feet. As I began to reflect on the past year as I normally do I asked God, "What was this year really about? What did I learn? What did I grow in? And on the questions went. I am so use to doing something. Being responsible, purposefully learning, being intentional in relationships, etc..

When I was done I heard Him slowly recite Psalm 23, The Lord is my shepherd.

As I reflected for a moment I saw each moment where this word was alive and living in my life this past year.

I came to Redding and He told me to stay and rest in His little greenhouse. I began to walk along quiet waters of life Holy Spirit brings. My entire being mind, body and soul has been restored. I did not know it needed restoration but God knows. God reminded me of the character I am walking towards in His righteousness.

I really was at a place of just being. Everything I wish I had time to do before I did. Drawing, painting, writing, reading, cooking, baking. Not for a purpose or for others but just because.I did not serve in church right away

In the quiet, in the dark times He is faithful, He is loving and kind. As the months passed by I began to see things in a new way, out of the box, dreams coming to life or being discovered. I am overwhelmed by His love, His presence, His mercy and grace. He has given me so much in this season that it will take the rest of my life to see it all lived out and come to pass.
