Rooted - Day Twenty-Three

June 23, 2022
Rooted

A year ago,
I published a photo
to my blog
with the caption,

“That moment
When fear loses it’s grip…
All is forever changed - “

It was true then -
and still true today.

Tonight, the four sweeties and I
pulled into our first stop
on our four day adventure to -
Acadia and Back…

These “kids” have a way
of making everything brighter,
sweeter, happier, and more alive!

We arrived during low tide
at destination number one -
bridge jumping on Cousins Island.

Thankfully, after staring down
from way above the pier supports -
they decided not jump…
just too dangerous at low tide.

And when the water and waves,
the sun and the wind
gently blew across the shore…
and across my face -

I breathed a bit more easily
than I have - in a very long time.

It’s not that anything
has changed
or moved…

But I changed
I moved…

Next stop -
A crab and lobster shack…
with bright red tables,
moving waters
and tall green grasses
blowing in the wind…

And there we sat -
TOGETHER …

Last stop of the day -
Two-Cent Bridge in
downtown Waterville…

It was here I took the photo
for the blog post on fear…
one year ago.

How very faithful God has been
to gently walk us through a year of
moves and changes.

So many of the fears
that debilitated us before…
hold very little power today.

And that is GRACE…

These crazy kids and I plan
to head out bright and early
to take on Acadia’s Sand Beach -
Great Head Trail

(I’m hoping Leah has packed
more than flip flops to hike in…)

Grateful for this time of rest…

Rooted in Him
The Cross of Christ my guide
