| Three weeks away from the hustle and bustle of the city has definitely given me time to just enjoy my time alone... Today I took a trip to a different part of the state and really loved the time in the car and seeing the open plains and valleys with the mountains surrounding all sides. When I come back to the part of the country that looks like this, it makes me feel like I can go anywhere because of the open space--I love it! Today I just felt a peace about what God is going to do in my life--it was a perfect day to reflect, too... God tells us in Jeremiah 29:11 that He knows what lies ahead, and today as I took the time to think about it, I was filled with a resounding hope for the future.

| There are some things that are just hard to let go--feelings, habits, plans... I've been thinking about that a lot this year as I try to rearrange my life to reflect God more. Having these three weeks to do just that has helped me to really contemplate this, and I'm praying that I can let go of what I need to.

| I'm traveling for work right now, and it allows me a lot of time to be alone and do whatever. It's a needed break, and I believe God uses those times to teach you things that you don't see until later. I know this is short; I'll try to write more to expand later, but I'm praying for that time.

| This summer I stayed so busy I could only hope for a break. I didn't leave the city for five months! The only calm I had was two weeks in some friend's (air conditioned) apartment on the Upper West Side, where I was able to relax by myself in a great apartment. Since I've moved to where I live now, I've stayed busy, but I take more time to stay in at night, and am close enough to friends that we don't have to travel. That is something that is rare here, and that I appreciate about where I live now. I was thinking about this earlier this week while talking to a friend about stress. Both of us are laid back people (generally) who were discussing the different times stress had come up on us, almost unknowingly, and how we dealt with it. I'm always learning that calmness only comes from God, the protector of not only my physical body, but my mind.
Psalm 4:8
