A Minute to Write.

It's been a while since I last wrote.  

I miss it. 

Writing provides a way for me to feel like I've somewhat caught up with the time passed. 

Life has moved very quickly this semester and now, it's nearly over. 

But I want to write. I want to share stories and tales of life here and far away. 

Because its been a very full three months, I haven't taken much time to write and blog. 

It's been too long to withhold the pen from the page. So again, I write. 

The other day, I just needed some fresh air, the twilight, and space to think. I grabbed my journal, a pen, and my camera. I just needed a taste of some sort of adventure. (My spirit craves a spontaneous adventure even now.) These pockets of solitude are good for me. In the midst of a whirlwind, moments of calm come in various forms; taking walks, reading a book, drinking a cup of coffee, enjoying and embracing the still,  cloud watching and highway driving. It comes in observing the big and the small, the high and the low, the magnificent and the simple. It comes in learning to appreciate the quiet. Moments of silence are certainly golden and a peaceful spirit is refreshing. In the midst of busyness, these ought to be sought out. 

So, in search for some silence and peace, here is what the Lord provided me from His hand. 

 

 

It wasn't much, but it was simply just enough. I can't wait for even longer walks to be had. Busyness can be a snare if I let it control, affirm, and determine my success, which is why I took this moment to remind myself that rest is good and necessary. This short and sweet walk allowed me to simply rest in Who God was, is, and forever will be. I truly enjoyed Him. His romance is sweet. These pockets of silence remind me of how beautiful He really is and how desperately I need Him.  

Maybe now it's your turn to take a walk. 

"He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High 

will abide in the shadow of the Almighty 

I will say to the LORD, 

“My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust."

-Psalm 91:1-2
