From Resistance to Rest
"The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake" (Psalm 23:1-3 TNIV).
I didn't want to go for my walk today! Everything in me wanted to resist even the thought of getting some exercise. But I knew if I didn't go early, I probably wouldn't go later. So, I decided to go against my feelings and do the right thing. Now, I'm so glad I did! Look what I would have missed!!!

Quite a lesson to be learned here. What do we miss when we do not do what is being impressed upon us to do? God did indeed present you with some beauty for your walk! Glad you took your camera along so we could enjoy it, too!!! Of course, I didn't get near the positive result from the actual walk that you did. Way to go!!!!

I've been learning that lesson in a lot of areas of my life. Lately, I've been telling myself, "Do it afraid!" But today, I just told myself, "Just do it!"

Beautiful. Calm. Serene. Good thing you went for your walk. How awesome that you live close enough to such a beautiful lake!
By the way, I noticed you have people enter a number forcomments. Can you tell me what plugin that is? It would sure help me not get so much spam from robots!
Keep up the good writing and walking!

Thanks, Sharon. I love the area we live in now--so many beautiful sites for exploring. About the plugin--it just came with the godaddy blog (i.e. I'm clueless). Plus, I still get too many spam comments, too! Thanks for your comment!!!
