Sometimes all I need...


...is to get in my car...pick up starbucks...put on my avs...turn on the music...and drive...

This thing called cabin fever. It hit me hard today. i needed to get out. to sense the warmth of the sun on my face. to allow the breeze to wash over me. to clear my mind. to connect. to feel.

After work today I came home, got out of my stuffy "professional" clothes, pulled on a hat, put on the sunglasses, and got in my car to get away. I like that the hat and sunglasses can hide me from strangers looking too closely, seeing too much. I like that even though I put on a hat and sunglasses, God still sees through my eyes into my soul. I can't hide from him, I don't want to hide from him. I don't have to hide from him.





Questions. For the past few days, I've looked at life, and it hasn't seemed so straightforward. It's been a little blurry, the edges fading away and mixing past, present and future. Hope. Grounded in God--God's love. This, this is what guides me, sees me through the cloudiness. Holds me tight. Assures me that although my vision may be cloudy, His isn't. He's got my hand and isn't letting go.

Jen! This post almost brought tears to my eyes. I guess just your vulnerability and openness did it for me. I love you girl and will "hold your hand" too. You're truly a gift from God. Never forget it!!
By the way...that picture of you is unbelievable. How did you do that? It looks completely professional with the blurred background. WOW.

I actually don't even know what to say because saying anything won't explain the truth I felt come out of what you wrote.
I like these kind of posts. Makes me think!
Thanks for being open! love you!
