Nothing like creation to make me worship the Lord. Outside my patio door at the retreat center this weekend stood a group of deer. I loved watching them interact with nature and one another. They had their eyes on me and my friends as we took pictures.
I don’t have much time to write this morning, but I wanted to stop in and share these pictures and God’s Word with you today.
It is God who arms me with strength
and makes my way perfect.He makes my feet like the feet of a deer;
he enables me to stand on the heights.Psalm 18: 32-33(NIV)
Now to those of you who are feeling like life is just one challenge and heartache after another, may these words speak deeply to your spirit.
Though the cherry trees don’t blossom
and the strawberries don’t ripen,
Though the apples are worm-eaten
and the wheat fields stunted,
Though the sheep pens are sheepless
and the cattle barns empty,
I’m singing joyful praise to God.
I’m turning cartwheels of joy to my Savior God.
Counting on God’s Rule to prevail,
I take heart and gain strength.
I run like a deer.
I feel like I’m king of the mountain! Habbakkuk 3:18-19(MSG)
Have a great day, friends! You are precious to me.
Tiffany
I enjoy your blog so much! Still standing in faith with you for your loved one.
Great quote from Habbakkuk, who was the first to write – "The just shall live by faith."
Dearest Tiffany, I have loved your post yesterday as well as today. Some days it is hard to wait for prayers of our loved ones to be answered-I'm going on 30 years for such an answer. Hang in there and remember it is His strength that will carry us through.
Hugs, Noreen
Awesomeness!! love the verses!
Happy Tuesday!
Have a good good day:)
Beautiful pics, beautiful verses … you are creating a longing for me to return to the mountains. That's not good!
Those deer look much less scary in photos than they did in person 😉
Beautiful blog, Tiffany!

I like the photos of the cute deer, and the upbeat Scripture.
Thanks for sharing them with us.
To see these pictures of these beautiful deer cause my heart to be filled with joy…knowing He designed them…with such beauty, strength and courage!
Beautiful pictures, Tiffany. I'm so glad He sets us on the high places – and is with is us the valleys also.
Blessings!
Love the pictures! Did I tell you I hit a deer after Christmas? He got up running after he did a little flip. I felt soooo bad. Prayed she would be ok.
The Lord's mercy is new every day. We can stand. B
I love you dearly sis, beautiful pictures.
Oh how neat Tiffany!!
Beautiful pictures and one of my ALL TIME sciptures in the word.
That is also one of my all time favorite books. It was life changing for me.
Much Afraid…I felt like the book was written for me.
LOVE YOU♥
Stunningly beautiful. Great shots, Tiffany.
Love the pics. They are such beautiful creatures and the setting isn't bad either.
Great verses.
Hugs,

We had a family of deer in our backyard and I watched as one of them was attempting to reach the bird feeder which was full of seed….It was precious and yet it also spoke volumes to on a spiritual level as well.
Thank you for sharing this and praying the Lord moves powerfully in and through you
I know that you don't do this for praise, as it is obvious you do it from pure joy to know Him…BUT…you are one of my happy makers today. Pop over to my place when you get a minute

Beautiful! A balm! Thank you.
Great pics. Were they from your retreat?
We still need to talk….I'm going to visit/help Denise and Eddie tomorrow, Friday I'm filled up until about 2:00 my time. Weekend's good. Then Monday I head to ATL for a speaking engagement and won't be back until Wednesday evening. Email me, let me know.
Thank you for the kind words and the visit Tiffany! We do need to be reminded that God gives us the ability to stand on rocky cliffs at times! I love the character traits of creation that inspire us, except this fall my family has hit 3 deer! They are really multiplying and running into the roads! Thankfully, angels protected us, but our cars were pretty banged up. God please keep the deer in the woods and on those cliffs! Amen! We can learn best from them there.
Wow, what absolutely soothing words! I just felt a peace wash over me as I read the words of Habbakkuk you wrote!!!

What beautiful pictures!! Gods creation cries out to Him even when we don't.. it's so amazing and beautiful!!
