This week's weather has certainly made walking interesting. It's been very hot and sunny but with humidity and threats of thunder storms. At the beginning of the week it was bright with a cool breeze and today it's humid and cloudy. I have had to be prepared with cardigan, sunglasses and umbrella most days and walking hasn't always felt comfortable. However I am still reminded that whatever the circumstances we can carry on, make progress and keep a steady pace. As someone who can get carried away running ahead of myself with enthusiasm or overwhelmed to the point of coming to a full stop, it amazes me how much God can teach me as I walk.
God knows me inside out. He knows that I am made up of heart, soul and strength and need balance in all these areas. He has made me and all creation so wonderfully that each part of us is connected and connects us to each other. By taking time out to walk steadily I find my thoughts begin to order themselves, my emotions regulate and my heart and muscles are strengthened.
I thank God at we are fearfully and wonderfully made and pray that in whatever we are doing we recognise that and value ourselves, others and our environment.
