• Yesterday I was able to go out and begin to weed in my relatively new-to-me yard.
  I still have no idea what is growing out there, but it was nice to attack what I know should not be growing there, all the while basking in the spring warmth.
  Out here, you have to squeeze in those moments between the rain showers.

  Sometimes I feel like that yard out there - all new-to-me terrain and with no idea of what is growing there....I can just see the many weeds I need to pluck out.

  "I pray for you, my child, to develop authenticity, to keep an unveiled face toward God."
  ~ W. Carmichael

  I'm working on that - being honest with God, even when I'm struggling, entrusting to Him my unrequited desires. You'd think it'd be easy, but I don't find it so.
  I'm not often self-revealing. But, it's what He asks of me.

  "Not a creature exists that is concealed from His sight, but all things are open and exposed, naked and defenseless to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do."  Heb 4:13

  " The Lord sees....the Lord looks on the heart." 1 Sam 16:7

  I know He'll never reject me, and He already knows all that's bottled up inside -
  so certainly, I can share every moment of every day with Him.
  He's a safe place.

  One of the things I most like about the Redwoods, is that they raise your vision - up, up, up.

  

  

  

  Looking ever upward.....
