Here is the vlog’s full transcript.
I’m curious to know what is that “go-to thing” that you do, or that place where you find (and are refreshed and renewed) by God. And I invite you to actually put that in the comments with this video because I think it would be great for us all to experience where others experience God. So, yep, do me that favor by posting here where you find, where you experience, where you’re refreshed by God.
For me, it is always the walk in the woods with the dogs. Always. Sometimes it is really intentional and sometimes it just happens by happenstance, but, last night was just one of those particular times when I turned the flashlight off and, ah, we’re in the middle of this latest storm. And it wasn’t snowing very hard, but the way that the ground was lit—which is really unique because it was completely overcast—was tremendous, amazing, inspiring, ah... awesome. Because in that time, and I’m no holier-than-thou person, I was in the presence and the company of God and ah, I needed it yes, wanted it yes, was refueled by it, yes.
So, maybe its moonlight and dogs and Christmas tree fields. Or maybe it’s something else. But I encourage all of us to name more specifically and share most definitely those places where we’re refreshed by God. And we’ll talk about this when we meet Sunday, when we open a beautiful two-part piece, two-part sermon series, about peace and rest. God Bless you, and amen.
