Early Morning Walks with God

Book Cover & Preview Text
Here's what I saw on a walk today, some feathers all ready to blow away.
Bark from some trees, leaves that were blowing, feather like plumes broken but flowing.
Pine needles that dropped after changing to brown, pieces of pine cones that fell to the
ground.
A smashed sycamore "cone" with points still in view, dried flowers on a bush not showing a
hue.
All of these pieces were shed for a reason, to make ready for growth and change of a season.
And people have change of seasons, too, when they shed some ideas and think something new.
It's a gradual growth every day, every year but no need to worry, God's always there.

About the Book
Every morning, Laurel Stanell takes a walk on a curvy, somewhat hilly road that stretches around the lake by her North Carolina home. It is lined with trees, bushes, flowers, houses, little creatures, and a golf course. But it is here that she finds God, talks to him, and gains strength for the day ahead.
Filled with encouragement, Early Morning Walks with God is a compilation of personal insights from Stanell collected over the course of a year of daily walks. Written in easy-to-read prose, these short and succinct entries expand upon the promises God has bestowed upon his people. Stanell’s observations on nature’s beauty, the ever-changing weather, and the daily encounters with her neighbors provide inspiration for those who seek a new way to look at the world.
Stanell examines how growth in both nature and in our lives is nourished under God’s direction. She also focuses on the positive aspects of the world instead of the negative, turning instead to God’s message of hope, his constant companionship, and his direction.
Early Morning Walks with God offers precious gems of wisdom for your daily time with God.
