Hidden

Friends often ask me if I have any pointers of good vacation spots in Colorado. My photo albums capture everything from the most majestic snow-capped mountain ranges in The Rocky Mountain National Forest to the tiniest chipmunks on the tundra. The undisturbed forest is at its best in the cool evenings. Fresh morning dew permeates the air and awakens visitors as Humming Birds dance outside their windows. My favorites photos are the ones like the Elk among the Aspens in Autumn. Drive ever so slowly through the Rocky Mountains--feel every bump. After all, that is what makes them mountains! A small stirring in the forest may reveal Elk hidden in their natural habitat. They know they are protected and fear nothing.
The body of Christ is to be the same. We are hidden. We are protected. And, we should fear nothing. So, the next time you are confused or a bit fearful, close your eyes and allow your mind to drift to the Elk who are hidden here. Picture yourself hidden with Christ in God...
...Colossians 3:2-4 ~~Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory.

So where are the pictures of the "chipmunks"? Loved the picture of the deer though and the Blog itself is masterful.

Great imagery from the story of the Elks. Isn't nature so good at speaking to our spirits?! :)
