Look Up!!

Fog lay heavy over the large parcel of land between Staff Housing and the main campus at AU, giving it a very surreal appearance.

This pictures only one of six paths that stretch across this 6-7 long block area ~~ one leads to the farm, one to the health clinic, one to the agriculture building and main campus, one to the sports field, one to staff housing, and one to the Chapel! 



During this school year I have walked at least one or two of these paths 5-6 times during a day!

Part of the path is rocky and uneven, part of it is smooth and well trodden.  Part of it is hilly, and part contains obstacles such as large tree roots and deep ruts.   Isn't this like our lives?  Sometimes rocky and uneven, sometimes smooth and well trodden, sometimes hilly and sometimes filled with many obstacles?

Too many times I've found myself looking down ~~ watching carefully where I walk in order to avoid the sharp rocks, the ruts and tree roots!

But recently on a bright and sunny day I looked up!!!  Little did I realize that all this time I had been walking under some power lines, very well hidden by the acacia trees ~~ can you see them in this picture?  We may not always be able to see God, but God's POWER is always available to us!

Now each day I am reminded to LOOK UP and to connect to the POWER that heals, guides, loves, forgives, and saves!  And may it be so for you.
