Talking to Jesus

Do you talk to Jesus? Where is your place to spend time with Him?

Nature is my spot where I feel His presence so fully and completely.

Sometimes I sit quietly and listen to Him speak to me through a brilliant pink sunset.

Sometimes I walk with Him and pour out all that overwhelms me and weighs so heavy on my soul.

Sometimes I talk to Him out loud, sometimes through tears.

Sometimes I just say thank you for all the beauty and good things in my life–even if it’s hard to find something lovely at the moment.

What about you? Do you hear Him speak to you audibly?

Do you experience Him in nature, at church, in the kitchen with your coffee before everyone else is up, on your drive to work, in the carpool pick up line?

I’d love to know the way He speaks to you and where you experience Him. It is fascinating the way we are each created to experience Him so differently.

Daydreams

If you found yourself relaxing in this hammock, a fall breeze ruffling your hair, would you lean into it and let yourself day dream?

Would you nap, read a book, just be in nature?

I think day dreaming is healing and peaceful. Allowing your mind to drift where it will and give permission to your wildest dreams and wishes, no expectations, no stiff parameters, just freedom–making room for Jesus to speak to you, heal you, give discernment and wisdom.

There is freedom to hope and hope is a very powerful thing.

Divine Journey

🌿 Have you ever felt like you need to slow down and just breathe?

The Divine Series is for the moments when you need to feel God’s arms wrapping you up in His presence.

He’s there…

on a hike through the Redwoods 🌲

as you sip your morning coffee ☕

in the chatter of a mountain stream 💧

in a whispered prayer 🙏

when you need to remember that you are not alone ❤️

Through poetry, short stories, Scripture, and reflections inspired by nature, these devotionals give you space to relax and experience God’s presence in the beauty of everyday life.

If this speaks to your heart, I invite you to take a look at the Divine Series and see where the journey takes you. Perhaps one of these books will become a much-loved companion for your own journey with God. ❤️

Peace

May His peace and comfort follow you today. Be still, the Lord is near.

Luke 5:16

Where do you spend time with Jesus?

Do you have a special spot where you go to pray?

You all know I love being in nature & talking to Jesus. This beautiful Redwood Regional Park is about 30-35 minutes away from where I live. It’s a gorgeous oasis in the middle of a big city. It’s tucked in & you feel like you miles away from city life.

I hope you find time today to get to your special place & spend time with Him. Peace be with you.
