Oh dear... I slacked for a month...
Well, lets see if I can get back on track a little for July!
What types of things should you do, and what do you do, to prepare to meet God? How can you make steps to get closer to what you would like to be doing?
My time in the woods sort of rekindled my dying flame. I feel that being surrounded by ugly man-made things all the time, it's easy to lose the hints of God in nature.
Romans 1:20 says "For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse."
So for me, getting back to what He made, rather than what man made, helped soothe something in me. As we learned about the healing power of plants, and the fun tastes of others, we were reminded of His plan. WEEDS, of all things! Things that grow in abundance, need little knowledge or care to proliferate, are full of things to help our liver, our rashes, and purify our blood! And we are taught to throw dangerous chemicals on them, and glare when they take over the lawn. And anise and wood sorrell - plants that Dave has been calling "God's candy" because of the flavor.
Nature is one of the loudest proclaimers of God for me, and trying to get back to Him would be a good first step for me.

Nice post, K!
I agree that being in nature is one of the best restorative methods for me to use in nourishing my soul. It is filled with the wonders of God. I also like being quiet in a church, in a mostly empty church. Or, sitting on the back porch.........
yes, your back porch is very nice for refreshing the soul! :)
