It’s 11:47 pm, and I just got home a little while ago. I just got back from about 12 hours in my Envoy with Jerry Woods. We just drove our route we are going to take on October 15 – as we ride bikes 300+ miles for Project Patch. (For more information on our ride, click on KTSY’s website )
I’m looking forward to our trip even more now. We traveled some great roads -and saw some great countryside! It was beautiful! Waterfalls coming out of the side of a mountain (a lot of mountains!), a lot of cows, a nice older man with a great beard who gave us directions back to Old 30… It was wonderful.
And what was crazy is that some of the place we went were so close to the Interstate. Now, I love the Interstate – it’s such a quick way to get from point A to point B. But, there is something magical about getting onto slower roads and seeing some amazing land.
The difference, really, is just getting off the rat race and slowing down a little.
Reminds me of a spiritual journey. Sometimes life may look pretty dull – but simply slowing down, and getting away from the rat race is often a simple way to experience the beauty of a spiritual journey.
So – slow down a little; take some time to see God’s wonder….
We are really lucky here in Idaho. Living in Nampa, and having lived in more rural settings the last 20+ years, I have really come to appreciate the way God has revealed himself in our great state. We get so busy that we don’t take the time to just stop and enjoy.
I know that my life is very much that way. I’m so busy with work, church life and ministries that I don’t stop and just enjoy it all.
I wonder how it would feel to just start enjoying myself in the moment rather than looking ahead to the next task?
