Camouflage

… the way that the color or shape of an animal or plant appears to mix with its environment, to prevent it from being seen or attacked as they are lost to view in the background.

I want to see the good in people, despite the bad that happens. I need to know that beauty can still come from ashes, even in the midst of the struggle. When success is measured by what is seen, one never knows the unseen trial & error that outweighs the victory from its losses. Just look at the blood, sweat & tears to overcome the incredible obstacles that each one of us have endured! In my weakest moments I have hid my fears & doubt, but it’s my faith in God that gives me the strength to be strong & believe! I have tried to blend into the background & not acknowledge my own emotions of disappointment, anger or grief. Yet I’ve never been alone to my own demise or ever been lost beyond saving. I have been challenged to be honest & real with how I truly feel, rather than wallow & sulk in despair. These are the in-between chapters of our lives that affect who we are, what we are made of & who we will be. These quiet times of reflection give an escape from the world for insight, renewal & strength. Under the cover of His wings we are safe. He will shelter, rescue & protect us as we stop, take a breath, feel alive & just breathe. While we stay in this moment we become one, as we sit & rest in Him…. camouflage.

“Those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty. This I declare about the Lord: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; He is my God, and I trust Him.”‭‭Psalms‬ ‭91:1-2
