Wherever We Land

Life can get busy and overwhelming, but I’ve found that taking moments for myself helps me stay centered and connected to God’s presence. One of the ways I relax is by stepping away to a quiet spot where I can be alone with my thoughts. I take several deep breaths and look outside, gazing at the beauty of nature—the trees swaying in the wind, birds soaring through the sky, and sunlight filtering through the leaves. In those moments, I am reminded of the magnificence of God’s creation and His constant care.

Hebrews 13:5-6 in the King James Version says:
“Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.”

This scripture reassures me that God is always with me, even in the busiest or most stressful times. When I look at nature, I remember that the same God who created the world and everything in it is the One who watches over me. It’s a peaceful reminder that I am never alone.

After taking this moment of reflection, I love to sit down with an uplifting book that inspires me or watch a faith-based movie with my husband Snatcher. It’s a wonderful way for us to bond, reflect on our faith, and encourage each other in our walk with God. These times remind me of the power of fellowship and how important it is to share moments of faith with the ones you love.

Once I feel refreshed and recharged, I like to start planning something that brings me joy—our next camping trip! Snatcher and I love getting away for the weekend, escaping into nature, and enjoying the peace it brings. Camping is a time for us to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and reconnect with each other and God. Whether we’re tent camping or staying in a cozy cabin, it’s always an adventure we look forward to.

There’s something about being surrounded by nature that makes me feel closer to God, and I can’t wait for our next weekend getaway to experience His creation in all its beauty.

As I continue to find ways to relax and spend time in reflection, I am constantly reminded that God is with me, guiding me, and providing peace, no matter the season of life.
