Seattle's Grace

So recently life has been a little overwhelming and caotic for me. A new, very stressful, anxiety producing job, and just life itself have left searching for a trap door that would let me escape, if only for a little while. My trap door is Seattle. So I took sometime off, stepped on an airplane and for four days didnt look back. It was a time of great renewal for me. I realized that my life had become my job. I realized that God seemed further away than ever, because I was not making time to listen to Him. I can pray all day long, and believe me sometimes I do, but it had been a long time since I had sat in silence and just listened. My dear friend Adrian is who I went to visit. He is such an encouragement, such a support in my life. He holds a very special place in my life. For him I so grateful.

The greatest thing that happened on my trip, was the laughter. We laughed and laughed and laughed. It really is the best medicine. And after four days, I got back on the airplane, looking back a little more this time. I came home, slipped through that trap door, back into my life. Only this time, a little more renewed. With a plan to stay that way.
