I am in serious mood this evening. It has been a bit of a day really and to be honest I am feeling a little spaced out. The day got off to a rough start and I spent three hours in casualty with one of the children. All is well thank goodness as I knew it would be, but it is somewhat disheartening to arrive and get your head round the one and a half hour waiting time and then see it go up to two and a half hours. And, yes it was two and a half hours and it was very dull. The second day of term!
However the journey home was good.Let me tell you why.
We have been living in this lovely part of the country for 8 months now and are beginning to know our way round a bit. We have a lovely drive along some pretty lanes to get to the main road out of the city. One of the lovely things about driving along this road is that we are able to watch the view change during the year and see new things all the time.
Up until recently it has all been very green and gorgeous but now there are new things to see as the leaves have dropped and we can see further into the fields. So today I discovered a river and a stream and a lake...wonderful beautiful water that I hadn't seen until now.
I was struck by the truth that there are always new pools, lakes and rivers of life to be found in God if only I have eyes to see them. And I love to the fact that the water I discovered today has always been there, it's just that I have only discovered them today.
There are always new and amazing depths and wonders about God to discover that have always been there. The truths of God have been so since the dawn of time and yet our discovery of them will never be exhausted. In the different seasons of our lives we will uncover more of God, His nature and character, His constancy and His presence in all those seasons. Whatever season of life we find ourselves in, the life giving water of Jesus flows even if we are not always aware of it.
Oh that God would give me more desire to see Him, an increased thirst for Him and faith to hold on in whatever season of life I am in. "Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today and forever." He has always been with me, is with me now and is ahead of me and promises to be with me always. Amazing eh?!
Take care,
Rachel.

Thank you for reminding me that there is so much more to God's creation than I have seen in my little lifetime. I'll start looking more closely. :-)
Have a blessed day!
Ok, so the scenery is breath taking.... on the way to casualty... but you were on the way to casualty, why? with whom? Please let me out of my misery.
