Lake Chatuge

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving present your requests to God.  And the peace of God which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7 NIV

Sometimes when the pressure is just too much my sweet husband, Michael C., and I find ourselves longing for peace and quiet.  We've been several places over the years but have found ourselves getting closer and closer to home.

We used to enjoy the road trip and still do if the road trip is less than four hours.  Anything longer simply makes me irritable which doesn't add to our driving pleasure, if you know what I mean.

For the time being the perfect spot for us is a little cove in the mountains of northeast Georgia on Lake Chatuge. When we get there we tend to reflect on the goodness of God and all His blessings to us.  It is a time to simply be and enjoy being in the presence of God with each other.  (They also have boiled peanuts which I cannot stop eating once I start!).

We just got back from there as a matter of fact.  Refreshed and ready to go again we resume our daily lives. I know the peace of God which transcends all understanding guards my heart and mind in Jesus.  Sometimes, though, I just need a sweet place to settle in and listen for His whispered words of peace and love.

To God be the Glory! Amen.
