I just LOVE the way The Gypsy Mama paints these words, I had to repeat it for you."On Fridays, a few of us have fallen into the habit of taking five minutes to just write and not worry if it’s just right or not. Five minutes to remember that we are creatures sculpted by The WORD and made for The WORD and beloved by The WORD.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. John 1:1-3.So on Fridays, we take the dare to become Word Artists.Go.
The prompt for today is STILL.
Sitting under big baby blues skies that fill up the expanse, called the heavens dotted with white cotton balls just enough to add accent . Surrounding by green, luscious green, I prostrate myself on it to feel the coolness of each blade. A soft wind blows gently moving the heat of the sun off of my face.
STILL.
How can I not bask in His glory when all of nature declares His Majesty?
I am still and I know He is here. Nature screams of it softly. And my heart is at peace. Nothing else matters in this moment. "Be still and know that I am" Spirit whispers across my heart. "And as you know that I AM be expectant- expect goodness, expect that I will always be here. In this stillness know that I remain but I am also in the stillness of your heart as storms rage around you. As marriages are ravished, bank accounts go in the negative, hearts break for loss- I am always here."
I smile within. I curl the green blades with my toes, soak up the blueness of the sky and drink it all in so it lasts- I hear someone yelling for me from the back door.
Linking today with The Gypsy Mama.

Love this!! I do need to be still and enjoy his presence in his creation more often. It is in those times that I am still that he makes his presence known in powerful ways.
Good for you. Sounds like you've got if figured out. Don't wait around for a still moment....go get one! haha.
I love your word picture of your surroundings too. Everyday, I walk outside into my yard and sit in my swing just admiring all that God has placed around me.
You know.....and just sit there being still!
