While I was reading the book Hinds' Feet on High Places with a friend, God spoke to me. He showed me as Christians we don't build altars to remind us of his work in our lives. In the book, the main character, Much Afraid, decides to follow the Shepherd to the Kingdom of Love. On her journey she has to continually lay down her will to accept the path the Shepherd has chosen for her. Every time she lays down her will, she builds an altar. She picks up a stone to remind her of the lesson she learned.

When was the last time you built an altar to remember a special moment when God spoke very clearly to you or worked in your life? If you are like me, your answer is probably "Not recently" or "Never." If you want to grow closer to God by revisiting your past and reflecting on all God has done for you, this book is for you! If you are facing difficult trials to your faith, this book is for you! If you desire to be a blessing to your children, grandchildren, or friends, this book is for you! We are embarking on a very special journey together. My prayer is that through my journey you will begin to see more clearly how God has been working in your life. I pray you will be inspired to create your own unique visuals to remind you of what a mighty God we serve. Also, you will be able to share your visuals with family and others to encourage them to follow God too.
