Wild Flowers

I spent the past weekend alone.  It was very interesting.  I learned fairly quickly I do not like to be alone.  I mean, I like to have "alone time," where I spend about an hour to myself each day, but other than that I really do not enjoy being alone.  This was an interesting fact to learn about myself because I always thought I did like to be alone.

Despite my loneliness this weekend I have a wonderful experience.  On Saturday morning I went on a drive to gaze at God's masterpiece.  The Lord's creation is indescribable.  Rolling green hills, bright blue skies with big fluffy clouds, wild flowers blowing in the wind, all the while the hot sun is bringing light to every corner of the landscape.  During this drive I experienced an encounter with God.  Simply being surrounded in the Lord's creation magnifies the Lord's greatness and power.  I love thinking about the Lord.  It is so awesome and amazing to think about the Lord, he created this beautiful world, and he loves you and me.  It is crazy isn't it!  But he does.  I am so thankful that God allows me to have faith, and allows me to experience his love, peace, and comfort.  

My goal for this week is to try to experience an encounter with the Lord each day.  Have a blessed and wonderful week!

Oh, yeah.  I ended up getting a little lost on my drive.  I was almost 30 minutes out of my town.  But that was okay, it was fun experiencing the excitement of not knowing where I was.  It was pretty cool.  (I also had a full tank of gas, and my cell phone just in case!)   :)
