Love this challenge! Getting lost in the details means, to me, an invitation to slow down a bit and appreciate God’s creation at a deeper level than I normally would in this rush and hurry world.
Hope of Spring

Hope of Spring
My heart,
Still chilled from the long hard winter,
Fluttered just a bit
At the sight of
A simple, tiny flower
Poking its pretty face
Above the cold ground
By the rocks and trees
In the woods nearby.
Smiling,
I realize the coldness in my heart,
Like the snow,
Has begun to melt.

When you are lost in the wilderness, you have two choices. You can focus on how many trees there are and so close together that they are blocking most of the sun light . . . . or you can focus on the Light that breaks through and know that you are being provided with direction . . . and follow that path.
John 1:5
King James Version (KJV)
5And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
