This is where I come... to breathe... to find calm amidst the storm that I call living... to process the challenges thrown my way...

Follow along. Maybe you'll find a fresh breeze, or a calm spring day, or a challenge for yourself.

on the back of a Kawasaki

I'm so thankful for friends who take me on trips with them!  Yesterday started off chilly, but right when I started to think "I really hope it warms up soon!" the sun came popping through the clouds and the rest of the ride was very comfortable.  Beautiful weather for 250 miles.

Why do I enjoy riding so much?  Because sitting on the back of a bike forces me to slow down.  I wish I could figure this out on my own, but since I can't, I'm thankful for rides.  A day of thinking (and being able to take a break from thinking) was just what I needed.

And thinking gives me the opportunity to figure things out so I can make decisions.  It doesn't make sense, but I haven't had enough time to think so that I could figure out that I'm in over my head.  Working over 30 hours a week while trying to make school my focus just isn't working out.  But thankfully there are ways to recompense this!

It was also a chance to worship.  Allowing God to minister to my spirit was great.  How could I not respond with praise and adoration of Him?  Singing, praying, and praising God was the best way to end the long ride.

Praise God from whom all blessings flow.  Praise Him, all creatures here below.  Praise Him above, ye heavenly hosts.  Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!
