"A voice is calling, ‘Clear the way for the LORD in the wilderness…’ "
-Isaiah 40:3-5
In the stillness of the wild we often reach into the depths of our souls. Sometimes, in those moments, we encounter something deeper within. In Kings 19:13 and 14 an angel told Elijah to go to the mountain top. Elijah obeyed and hoped to hear from God. He anticipated God to show himself in a miraculous way, but instead of appearing to him through a powerful wind, an earthquake, or a raging fire, God appeared to Elijah in a still, small voice.
Like Elijah, I went out into the wilderness in Glacier National Park and heard a small whisper, “Go (into the wilderness)”.
Many of the people who enter into the wilderness go searching for something. Many think that it is something inside themselves. What I and many others have realized nature is our cathedral, and our hearts and souls feel most at home in creation.
In addition to my call to my call into the wilderness, PCT With Purpose's goal is to raise money and awareness for colon cancer and research.
