While at camp kayaking alone looking towards the shore of Castaway God placed the words “Be here” on my heart. “Be here” and let your thoughts be here too.
For so long I have been distracted and disconnected. My body is in one place and my mind is in a completely different state.
When this happens I miss what God is doing. Where He wants me to be. He wants me right here, in the place He brought me.
If I did not allow myself to be fully in the present moment I would have miss these fake flowers I found all over camp, just like the ones I found from my mom on her death anniversary and birthday. I found them at camp in the house-keeping closet, next to a tree I was doing a bible study beside. On the side walk, and in the hallway. My moms sprit was and is with me. I felt her telling me she is proud of me and happy seeing me at camp. I would not have experienced this if I wasn’t fully there.
My takeaway now that I am back home I make sure to continually check on myself and make sure I am present where my feet are.
