Sitting next to the dam under my umbrella while everything around me got soaked was one of my highlights. So peaceful and a perfect scene for contemplation. Contemplating the presence of God was the main pursuit for me. (I didn't get one of those schedule things in the beginning or have a chronograph of any sort so I sort of needed my own main pursuit.) Going through an understanding of how he is there, with me, in love, was truly enlightening. I also realised that He delights in me always before even caring about the things I do, say or think...as I delight in him I realise that it would be really great to change the things I do, say and think, from a place of love for the Father. Its quite simple really. If things happen the other way around everything will break sooner or later.
Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
The guy who wrote that didn't realise I would take it for granted for 21 years and then suddenly be thrown beyond myself once I realised the true significance.
ps: there were some horses there in serious need of some nail-clippers.
