Road Trip

So yesterday I got to head over to good 'ole Peru, Indiana to see some lovely girls from school. Peru is not very big and also has very little to do. We had fun anyway :)

After Peru I headed down to Kokomo where I visited my cousin Andrew and his wife, Kristine (who is pregnant! :). I had a lovely chat with them, and Zach and I are hoping to visit next weekend.

Anyway, the drive back was around two hours. Now, I love music, but I just felt different yesterday, like music just wasn't going to cut it. So I decided to ride in silence with the Big Guy Upstairs.

It was amazing. You know how people always say that God speaks in the silence? I don't doubt that that is true. He did something different with me yesterday, though. When I just listened, it actually got me talking. It was like suddenly I was pouring out all these things to Him that I hadn't even known were bothering me. It was crazy.

I was telling Him everything that I was worried about and even making realizations about my life that I couldn't come to before. For instance, I found that all the little things that bother me about a specific person changed when I stepped outside and looked at that specific relationship. It was like suddenly all those things were actually things that I loved about them.

He showed me how blessed I am in many areas of my life. It was just so cool to have that happen. I really encourage you all to try this.
