BE STILL!!

Sometimes I like to just "be still". Like this week. I am doing a mini tour of Colorado. My momager being the manager and mom she is always likes to teach me the educational part of the state we are touring. So....I have seen the old gold mines, the Rocky Mountions, the working ranches, and the cliff dwellings. Mom can make an educational experience of a tree when you let her. Did you know that the bark of the aspen tree actually has a natural SPF of 7? Lost in the wilderness without sunscreen? Just find an aspen tree. And it also has a natural asprin? Hence the name asprin? Thats my Mom for you. Anyway back to being still. We took the ride to the top of Pikes Peak. The downtown Manito Springs area was busy with cars, tourists, bells ringing, horns blowing , people talking, dogs barking, birds singing, you get the drift. We started up the mountion and the closer we got to the top the quieter it became. We walked around the top and sit on a couple rocks looking down on beautiful creation. It was so quiet. The only sound was the wind. My spirit became still. I could feel God connecting to me. There was nothing to distract me. Just the quiet, God, and me. I could feel my mind becoming still, my stress and worry about life just drain away. I could feel God telling me to soak in his prescence, to let his love envelope me, I set on that rock for a long time. Gdo was sitting there on the rock right beside me. He then leaned over and whispered to me : "Be still and know that I am God."
