“I Set You on a Narrow Ledge”

I took a week off, dropped everything, with the intent of prayerfully seeking the Lord’s face. I think I’d hit a wall in daily life and the only way to break through something like that is to take a timeout, step back, and talk to God. For me, often the best way to talk is also to walk—and this while in woods. It’d been a while since I’d hiked certified trails, and this was how I felt to spend most of this designated time. The idea was about getting back to basics, taking a breath, and reassessing. So I mapped out which areas to visit, different trails for each day.

I wanted to let you know about this progress, so if you ever wanted to jump over there, it’s just a link or click away... Love Letters from the Forest
