Son Seekers
I learned a new word this morning.
Full disclosure.
I am a bit of a word nerd.
Here it is : heliotropism.
This is the act of flowers or leaves tracking the sun.
It is sometimes referred to as solar tracking.
Young sunflowers are one example, following the sun for growth.
The interesting fact is that two types of heliotropism exist.
Positive heliotropism is when plants move towards the sun.
Negative heliotropism is when plants move away from the sun.
Here is the most fascinating part of the this process to me: the movement is a daily, reversible process.
I love how God can use His creation to reflect our human nature so perfectly.
We can choose to follow the Son.
It is a daily, reversible process.
It is easy to be distracted by the things of this world and move away from the Son.
But if we want to grow, we need to follow Him daily.
My prayer today is that we all become Son-seekers and grow closer to Him.
Blessings in heaps to your week!
“Seek more of His strength! Seek more of Him! Let’s always be seeking the light of His face.”

Finding Peace Right Where You Are
Nature has a way of quieting the noise of the world.
The birds chirping outside.
The gentle falling of the rain.
The sound of the waves as you walk along the beach.
It is hard to describe how almost instantly that sound calms my spirit.
Standing by the ocean brings me such peace.
Maybe it is because during these times I pause to listen and let my worries go.
I can’t always get to the beach, lovely as that would be, to find that peace.
But there is another place I have access to every day.
No car ride or flights required.
It’s in His Presence.
A place where I can sit and calm the storms in my mind.
It is the place where I know I can always find peace and restoration.
“Don’t fret or worry.
Instead of worrying, pray.
Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.”
Philippians 4:6-7 MSGFriend, if you want to experience His peace today, take the time to sit with Him for a while.
He is always near.

Wherever You Are
I love when my husband sends me pictures when he is away.
However, this breathtakingly beautiful picture made me wish I was there instead of up north in a blizzard warning.
Who wants to be waiting for a blizzard?
Sometimes we all wish we were somewhere else.
Maybe we are living in the middle of our own personal storm, and long for peace and beauty in our lives.
But we are reminded in His word that God is always with us.
Both in our storms and our sunsets.
God knows exactly where we are.
And He delights in every detail of our lives.
“The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives.”
Psalms 37:23 (NLT)That brings me peace.
Even in the middle of a storm.
Wherever we are, He is always with us.
