Revved

There are days that I feel immensely purposeful. It is when the adventure I always crave begins to surface from it's home deep in my bones. Today is one of those days.

If you're twenty-two, physically fit, hungry to learn
and be better, I urge you to travel - as far and as
widely as possible. Sleep on floors if you have to.
Find out how other people live and eat and cook.
Learn from them - wherever you go.
-Anthony Bourdain

Solitude

Thoughts from Lies Young Women Believe:

There is a richness of soul that cannot be cultivated without regular seasons of quiet and solitude. There is a depth in our relationships with God and others that cannot be experienced apart from times of unhurried, face-to-face conversation.

I don't think I really have a shortage of alone time, but it's entirely possible that I'm not spending it well. I think I might take a timeout from some of my social media habits and see what happens.

You are FAITHFUL and GOOD

The title says it all really. God is so faithful. You'd think by now it wouldn't still 'wow' me, but I never grow complacent about His greatness. Tonight I laughed so hard I couldn't breathe twice, and then came home to some short, but really solid time with God. His readiness to meet me and reveal truth to me with just the slightest effort on my part is amazing. Father, you are good.

Thankful Thursday III

Blehh. Still sick. On the way back up. Thank you God for these days of rest I've been able to take, thank you for faithfulness in showing me truth in your word, and thank you for Emergen-C.

Terrific Tuesday III

Super sick. But still doing good.
Thanks God for beautiful Texas weather and for the lightness and peace your presence gives. Oh, and thanks for secret tunnels.
