TIP TOE THROUGH THE SPLENDOR: Forests and Trees

Forests and Trees

Brooklyn and Manhattan, Philadelphia and Reading and Lancaster and Nashville and Franklin, Michigan and Halifax and Ethiopia and Tanzania and Ethiopia and Central Park and Shushan....the summer has softly folded into fall all unnoticed, and slowly my soul is catching up to my address.

Lots of trees in this forest; it will take me a while to find words.

Lots of sunbeams too, by the way, and the moonlight is stunning.

From my early years, growing up in a home filled with a profound reverence and love for the Lord and the simple joy of living, an expansive place was prepared in my heart for responding to the nearness of God. I was drawn to goodness and light: the light of the Lord manifested in Christ and through Him in the human heart and countenance, and the light of His goodness manifested in the beauty of the earth. Rooted in a deep love for the beauty of the Scriptures and the illumination they bring to the face of our Father and to the human heart, I continue to be filled with awe at the ways heaven touches earth.

Even as a teenager I was often drawn to the quiet places where the heart is refreshed. Simultaneously, however, I loved the energy and vitality of the people around me. In time I arrived at the conviction that if God had to choose between New York City and the Rockies, that He would choose New York, because there is nothing in all creation nearer to His heart than humanity. I believe also, however, that we toil in futility and are less than alive until our hearts are awakened to the vastness of His love that surrounds us and the graces He pours freely into the world. And once we experience that awakening, we see His love in even the smallest details.

With that in mind, this blog is dedicated to those whose hearts also love the Majestic One and know His "upward call".
