The melody of the guitar and a language foreign to my ears
embrace my senses. As I sit in a coffee shop (how all my stories generally
begin) I stop and think to myself, “when was the last time that I really took
time out of my busy schedule to do the things that I enjoy doing just for me?”
I search frantically in my mind for the answer and after a few moments of
pondering I come up empty. The past four months have been dedicated to as busy
a social calendar as I could possibly manage and I am left feeling depleted. It
is time to rejuvenate and the best way I do this is unplugged, uncharged, and
totally unafraid to explore. I love to take in life through a contemplative
lens; filtering what comes my way with intention to unravel truth. The best part is that this lens isn’t mine
alone anymore, it’s Jesus' too. What better way to view the world than through the
creator’s eye. I will admit, in all honesty this does not come naturally to me.
At the end the day how many times have I said “me, myself and I”?? Likely a
great deal more than I utilize “you” in my vocabulary. That, my friends needs
to change.
