Last Saturday we went to Richmond Park for a bit of a pilgrimage. I was shocked because it is so lovely and so close and yet I’ve managed to miss it entirely in the almost-five years I’ve been here. I found myself pulling back from the group a little, the physical space and change of scenery really helped me connect with God, hear his voice and feel his comfort.
One of the (many) things I love about God is his sense of timing. I love the way he chooses to teach us stuff. So like instead of sitting me down in a classroom and speaking from the front, lecture-stylee, he chooses to wait until I’m out in the fresh air, with the warmest sun of the year on my face, where I can take a deep breath and take it all in. He knows what I need and when I need it.
These last few days have felt like significant ones for me… there’s lots of stuff to think through and process, but in it all I’m remembering what it felt like on Saturday to be out in the sun. I’m remembering the feeling of being in a wide open space, I’m remembering what it felt like to encounter the canopy of God’s love over that place.
And I will be going back there.
I adore Richmond Park. We used to walk there from school in Kingston. I hear you can hire bikes and go for cycle rides there now. I want to go!!
Yes, I agree, God is amazing.
Just passing by.Btw, your website have great content!
