The best trails...

My prayer:

Thank you God for more surprise blessings today! I feel wonderfully spoiled. You are beautiful. The life you have created is beautiful. I remain in awe of you!

I am excited to see what surprises you have for me this week. I pray for the strength, wisdom, and faith to receive each one as the blessing you intend it to be. 

Guide me, direct me, surround me, and keep me, as always sweet Lord.

What God Said Tonight:
Sometimes the best paths, the best trails are the ones that are the hardest to climb. You climbed a great trail today, one you had never been on  before, and saw things you had never seen before. To get there, you had to work really hard. You had to push beyond your limits. You pushed beyond the pain to see what I had for you. And, you did it with joy. 

I would love to teach you to do that with every hard climb in your life. I would love for you to see every challenge with an assumption that the destination, the experience, is worth the effort and yes, even worth the pain. 

I will never take you down a path that does not have your reward, your benefit, as the the result. I will always have rewards for you; not just in the completion but along the way. 

Remember the hike today. Remember how each turn, each new elevation brought new beautiful vistas. Look for the beautiful vistas on your path in life. I promise to have many beautiful moments for you if you look up , if you just look up and see them. I love you sweet girl.
