Not too long ago, I visited a local farm. I have to say the critters I met sure were interested in my tiny camera and what it does. Some (you would swear), knew exactly what I was up to and posed for it. LOL
One goat wanted to carry a conversation with me but I had to admit, we had a huge language barrier to get past. He didn't seem to get it. Oh well. Moving on. I met a peacock.
that was just plan showing off.
Well...I NEVER....!
It seems, no matter who or what we are we all feel the need to express ourselves. We find our own unique way of doing that too. It is part of who we are. It is part of being who God created us to be. So maybe you don't have the beautiful peacock feathers. You are you. Gifts and talents aside, you are beautiful as you are.
Why do we have a tendency to think what we do is who we are? See this beautiful golden glow in front of this chicken above? It reminds me of the presence of God. The chicken of course, is me. Sometimes I forget God's presence goes before me and guides me. He is as a light to my path. My journey and all that it entails, I will face with an all knowing God guiding my way. I am never alone and always accepted by Him as...me. You too.
If you are on a crazy journey with lots of unknowns before you, no worries. We can come out from behind that shed. Yes, the world is full of unknowns but God is greater than the world. There are no unknowns to an all knowing God. He loves you! Let His words be your truth and His voice be what you follow. Let your hope be in God for your future and His peace be what keeps you regardless of what changes and threats there are and may be in the world around you.
This is the beginning of a wall print I am making for a child's room inspired by my farm visit. Check back later for the complete and colored version.
