I was on a walk and doing some photography with a friend today.
I love autumn, the change in the fallen leaves are amazing so many blends of colours, and striking colours in just one leaf, God has one amazing imagination!!
Trees have always stood out to me in some strange way when I am out doing photography or driving in the countryside. I find what is most interesting is how all trees are in line with each other and then you might get one on it's own but still stunning and beautiful.
It got me thinking about staying in line with God and what He wants for us. Are we following His line of direction. Are we staying on the right path or heading of in a totally different direction.
Life can become quite tough sometimes can't it, it's easy to feel like we are on lots of different path's in life but in reality even though our head's say 'do what we want' we need to do what God wants and stick on that path.
If only life was like the picture above beautiful and simple, an easy route, an easy walk, but unfortunately life is life and we will always face trials and trouble, but it's up to us to make a choice if we want God to make us beautiful through our trials or we can listen to our heads and dwell on so many things that we can't change. When there are things we can.
It's taken me a long time to do that. And I suppose I can write about this and talk about what's on my mind and what stands out to me or what I think God is saying but when it comes down to it, I have to follow His lead, stay obedient and trust whatever life throws at me, easy to say!
Yet, He is still God, and whatever the situation I need to still honour Him and trust His will for my life. I hope He can trust me with whatever might thrown at me next, and I hope that I can stay on the right path despite the circumstance.
