It’s been close to thirty years ago that I first walked out the door of our house on that narrow country road. Putting one foot in front of the other I walked a full circle around our little town, right back to that same door of our house on that narrow country road. Day after day I put one foot in front of the other and walked that same loop, hoping to take some weight off my thirty-something year old body. Best of all, while that weight came off my body, weight of another kind that I had been struggling with came off my soul. I had been living with heaviness, a dark gray cloud hovering constantly over my head. Stuffed down soul wounds were like heavy sandbags around my heart. Day after day as I walked they began to lift. You see, as my feet were walking, my heart was talking to my Mighty Counselor. Here’s a little secret…He’s a God Who wants to walk and talk with us. He likes strolls in the cool of the evening with His most prized creation and meeting with ones full of confusion taking a walk down that old Emmaus road, helping them to straighten out the crooked paths in their thinking. (Join me for the rest of this post on Sunday, October 4th at Woman to Woman Ministries, where each Sunday I share a bit of Sunday Soul Food!)
I am so glad that God walks with us! A good reminder to lean upon Him.
