September or October, 2001
Lost, confused, alone
Huddled under the safety of my covers
Staring into nothing
I prayed.
I prayed for light on my darkened existence.
I prayed for a lift out of my rut.
I prayed for wisdom, for comfort, for clarity.
And the Lord responded by saying,
“I love you.”
The Lord took me to the mountains today.
At first I gazed about bleary eyed and careless,
But suddenly my world turned to color
As we rounded a bend and were struck with
A heaven of Autumn.
White trunks of Aspens grand surged to the sky,
Their tops crowned with yellow and gold.
I found myself enveloped in their splendor.
I feel so small standing among the grasses and dandelions –
A canopy of majestic trees above,
The girth of a mountain below…and beyond.
With every breath of wind running through my hair,
With every ray of sunlight seeping through the clouds,
With every leaf that quietly drifts from above,
Gently brushing my face before resting on the ground,
I see the love of my Father
And I know He is in control.
