God Uses Many Things to Speak to the Depths

Today I went on a day trip to Waupaca. I cannot say enough about how this trip has impacted me in so many positive and reflective ways. God used a friend to get me there and I am blessed by the turnout. I have had artwork speak to me, but nothing like what I saw today. It was as if the women in the pictures spoke to the depths of my heart. There was one of a Mom and her little girl. It reach in to where only God has stired me. It was as if He took me there to talk to me again. I love art so much and I used to draw and paint. I haven't done either for so long. I doodle here and there, but nothing like I used to. On the way home, I became aware of some things that I need to deal with in God's timing and not mine. He knows when I can handle them and when I can't.

I was taken out of the whole that I know and shown a place that exist and is reachable. It is this side of Heaven. I am amazed how the shops brought me to a place of peace and enjoyment that I have not experienced for what seems like a long time. Each one was refreshing and unque. I was reminded of talents God has put in me ad I don't necessarily use. I was taken to a place where God spoke to me and showed me His love for me. I was not thinking about what needs to be done when I get home. I was in the moment and that is so rare for me.

I am so thankful for have been shown these places and to go again, I will! There is artwork waiting and food to be discovered. There are corners to be visited and people and places to see. I am thankful for this day!
