When I read the prompt question this morning, I got all excited as I thought to myself… What a perfect question to answer!
Just yesterday, my friend and I drove over the mountain pass that’s not too far away from where we live. Though I was only a passenger and carpool buddy for my Chica, the view was spectacular and the company was even better! Stick two girls in a car together with snacks, a radio, and a peaceful drive… it has a sort of Willy Wonka Factory effect, if you get my meaning.
I’m so relaxed right now, I can’t even really describe it!
I’m just looking at the evidence! What does the evidence say, you might be asking?
Why, I’d love to answer… thank you for asking!
The evidence shows that I slept like a baby last night. Not only that, but I spent most of my morning just sitting in front of the computer, drinking coffee with my better half…
So I’m feeling pretty amazing, right now!
One might say this resembles relaxing, but I’m no expert.
For today’s prompt question, I’m gonna roll the dice here and say,
“A good scenic drive is the way to let off some steam… but only if you bring a friend, and can see lots of forests and streams!”
Yesterday had to be one of the most wonderful excursions I’ve had for some time!
It was absolutely breathtaking!
We had perfect weather, a banging A/C, good tunes, and the whole day to adventure. Of course my friend was working, being that she had to supply all her peeps with work tools and parts… but once that was done, we were all clear to enjoy our meander home.
What one might have considered a catastrophe to their FunVee activities, we hit a detour half-way home and were diverted onto a highway we’d never been on. Turns out… there’s still beautifully preserved nature pockets in them there hills!
We saw lakes, rivers and marshy ponds that were free of any human marshmallows dotting their beaches.
All in all, after a 10 hour drive day, we felt like we’d been gifted a very special and private tour of God’s Glorious Country!
No offense, everyone, but I don’t feel that this is the place to be asking these sort of questions.
I bear no ill will toward anyone wishing to answer the prompt, but I won’t be reading any answers that are actual grievances toward another… it’s like feeding into something that is already an unhealthy emotion.
Just sayin…
Here, I made everyone cookies that hopefully might represent what one should be producing with their blog sites… good fruit!
I found an old post from last spring that I thought rather fitting, if you twist the daily prompt’s meaning just a smidge…
This was one of my ‘Investigating Truths’ episodes, but it seemed fitting, somehow.
For as long as I can remember, I have made sense of myself and this world two realms of thought. One realm of thought is in the actual and physical sense. What we see, do, talk about, eat and feel are in the here and now… The second realm of thought is what I think of as my storybook, or cartoon version if you will. Let’s call this part the “Behind the Scenes of My Truths,” the adventure version.
What follows is written in storybook version…….
I am wild from the top of my head all the way down to my toes! It is all that I can seem to remember of myself. My journeying, or running if I am being truthful, has always found me far out in the desert. For as long as I can remember, there has been a path worn, from one hidden oasis to another, by my feet. I have hidden them well, though, so most that wander by are unaware of my presence. As the years of my life rolled forward, I found that there was One who had been following my footprints, always leaving little packages of love for me. On one of my journeys along the outskirts of the Cities of Souls, I came to realize that the One whom I had sensed, was in fact my True Father! It was both joyful and difficult to become aware of Him.
I stayed…
Before I knew it, time seemed to have sped forward in my journey, by a great many years! I discovered that I had settled down right inside the walls … building relationships with others, and trying to live and do things the way all of the others thought was right. My Father showed me the gifts given to me, but instead of being at peace, I became fearful…I believed that I was losing myself, and would simply become a nothing…moving along by habit…so this wild child ran!!!
I fled into the desert with as much speed possible, for my feet had become softened over time. I tripped many times, stumbling over rocks and debris that had been left on my paths. Had it really been that long? I was not sure if the way had become obstructed or if I had simply forgotten my exact path. Many seasons were spent wandering, clearing out my old and unused paths. Time rolled on…
Oh, I would come near the outskirts, just close enough to remember what I left behind. The intensity of my pain and fear, along with the guilt over my failure, drove me away again and again…
My last act of running into the desert, or defiance as I see it, nearly cost me my very life, but that is for another time. For now, I leave you with this thought…I am still that wild child inside, but my Father has been revealing to me the graceful Phoenix that He is rising up from the ashes of her truth…
You didn’t think I would forget your cookies, did you?
So, I did a clean up of my very first published post, Mighty, which I wrote in 2016. Though I needed to add some pictures, and pretty things up, there wasn’t any editing of the actual content… if it’s not broke, why fix it?!
MIGHTY!!!
I choose to live by faith and trust in Gods word, His truth
I am so very small but He is Mighty
Everything that is good, pure, and beautiful comes from Him…
How can we not stand in awe and wonder of who He is?
There is too much proof for me to doubt Him.
Too many times I have been on my face before him, overwhelmed by things I thought impossible, and I look up to see obstacles crumble before Gods awesome power.
When things seem too big to overcome
just remember to look up
look to His word
look to His truth
And, remember how Mighty His love for us is
There is no battle He won’t wage for us, his creation
His children…
and He will win
for HE IS MIGHTY!!!!!
“The seas have lifted up, O Lord, the seas have lifted up their voice; the seas have lifted up their pounding waves. Mightier than the thunder of the great waters, mightier than the breakers of the sea- the Lord on high is Mighty. Psalms 93:3, 4.
