Saturday night, Keith and I stumbled upon a country road near our land that was just acres and acres and acres (for miles) of undisturbed pine trees. It was GORGEOUS. I felt like I was in a fairy land. No people. No houses. No other cars…just us and millions of pine trees.
It WILL become a new fave Sunday drive:)
I said to Keith… “it feels soooo spiritual in here. I know that sounds crazy. But it does.”
Then, I opened up the book of Joshua and read this.
As a reminder of their agreement, he took a huge stone and rolled it beneath the terebinth tree. He said to the people, “This stone has heard everything the Lord said to us. It will be a witness to testify against you if you go back on your word to God.” -Joshua 24:27
Amazing. I mean…we know even the rocks cry out… but it just underscored what I was sensing in those woods.
God made nature. God loves nature. Nature holds more than we can think or imagine.
Let’s get off our phones and get into the woods. Let’s listen to the trees and the stones and the dirt whisper to us what they’ve heard. It might just heal us.

Or how about this… Job 12:7-8
“But ask the animals, and they will teach you,
or the birds of the air, and they will tell you;
or speak to the earth, and it will teach you,
or let the fish of the sea inform you.
Woah!!!!!
