seeking God's face and going on a hike

I woke up this morning with a clear memory of a dream I had last night. An overflow of joy while realizing and feeling God's care and presence. I remember clearly saying that all I need is to trust in the Lord and seek His face... and I felt just happiness! I went and took a shower and I was singing psalms. As I write this down it still seems surreal... and yet there it was.
I believe it has to do with the decision of reading a psalm every morning. That was a month and a half ago. We have skipped many mornings, especially Sundays when we went to church anyway, but we are at psalm 25 now. Conrad and I read them out loud and discuss them or share emotions brought up by the reading. We talk about David and His amazing example, and we remember who God is and how amazing is He viewed through David's eyes.
Plus, last Sunday Larry Brown talked about seeking God's face through a very touching and transparent sermon. This idea has been on my mind all week. I want to seek God's face. I want to feel His presence in my life all the time. I don't want to fear this world and the mundane challenges. I love God and praising Him and resting in Him through David's example is such a great path to follow.

I also went on a long hike today after church. I got to spend time in silence, listening to the wind, while Conrad and Dad were behind, taking pictures of random stuff. I got to sing in the nature also, and feel God's presence. A glass of gin and tonic later I feel beat. I am so exhausted I can barely stand... but I had such a great day!
