Oh summer lovin', yes, I love not waking up at 7 and 7:45 every morning but I do not like not having some sort of routine.. traveling never has a routine only a route. Since summer began I have traveled home sweet home to Bossier City, Louisiana, then to Memphis, Tennessee to visit St. Jude with some sweet delta sistas, and am currently in Nashville, Tennessee spending as much time as possible with my sister, mom, and grandmother before I have to go back to good ol' Baton Rouge, Louisiana for summa schoo :) Saying all that to say, I feel through all this traveling, supposed world ending, shopping, and sitting still way too long.. i am reminded I need my time with Jesus. Just me and Him. Not to say I can't talk to him in the middle of a crowded room but to be focused on Him, to read his word and hold on to it as I face the world, not alone. The video up top helps me put my thoughts into words in some ways. I never realized how important a quiet time with God truly is until this year, whether it is writing a prayer, trying to memorize scripture, or praising/singing as loud as possible in car. I have found when I stop getting caught up in the nonsense of life and focus on the one who made it all... I realize many things in this life don't matter. And when life gets tough and your world seems to be in shambles, it's awesome to know that God is the one to take all the burdens of this life and make them new... all we have to do is cling tighter to Him during the storms. This is an amazing, crazy life we are given, and we have to remember each breath is a reminder that you have purpose in Him.
