Oh, I'm a little sad at my winter walking, but never, never say I'm done. Finally today I was back walking. There could be a bundle of reasons why I have taken a break and all would make sense, but that's not good enough for me. Today's beautiful snow was just what I needed to give myself that new lease on life and made my feet hunger for being out in Gods beautiful nature. When I began all this walking I wanted this to be a time for me to praise God and think on things he would like to show me. Today my heart was heavy as I thought on some of the past years events. But in the end I got a mile in and I hope to do better.

I have been told lately that if you will be a see thorougher instead of a look at’er your life will have meaning. If you are a look at’er life will drive you nuts. But if you try and see through your circumstances you will see the hand of God at work on the worst day of your life.

 You don't get prepared in a crisis you must be prepared before the crisis ever happens.

As the year slowly leaks from a hour glass I am reminded of crises after crises  this year has exposed. There has been murder of children and killing of first responders. Israel finds itself in the cross hairs of all its neighbors and it seems impossible that this small piece of land can survive as a country with all around them wanting them eliminated. Then of course seeing our leaders refusing to lead. But that is only if your are a look at'er. If I choose the route of a see thorougher I see God leading the world to its promised conclusion. The gun debate as to how to stop all this violence just stuns me. Can they not see the elephant in the room, the masses of humans who have there conscience seared and there self-centered minds being lead down the path that brings them to the hidden evil that is buried in the flesh of each human. There is even debate as to weather evil really exist, oh please.

Being able to see, really see truth is a matter of looking at the details all around us. It can be as simple as today's walk in the park. After a quiet 6 inch snow on top of 10 inches all ready on the ground, for the one who is a see thorougher and seeks Gods fingerprint in the smallest details, you would see the great wonder and peace of the quite walk  and the soft layer of snow one each branch. For once you can see the wind coming toward you by the disturbing of the snow on every tree. For me there could not be a more peaceful place. Even the crisp air on my cheeks seem to revitalize my excitement of what I was seeing. 

 So if most find their busy lives being interrupted by the pace that is slowed to a stand still for just a bit because of this beautiful snow, I say you are most likely one who does not see the elephant in the middle of the room, no matter if it is a peaceful one or extremely dangerous.

This seems a bit heavy today but it was what was running in my mind and I wanted to present it to God. What did he let me know? He said "Kathy, it will work out fine girl".
