"We are FREE, woooahhhohhah"

I just got back from the beautiful mountains of Tennessee, where every single breeze of wind screams the glory of God (in my opinion at least).

let me tell you, best weekend I could have asked for.
i went totally unplugged. I capped my pen for journaling, i closed my thoughts off and I attempted to listen to my Dad. needless to say, give a girl two hours in the most beatiful spot ever, she is bound to hear something. good or bad, she WILL hear.

i heard. through the freezing of my feet, the physical fight I had with my black worries, through the disection and casting of those worries, through the birds catching fish and the breeze blowing through my hair and the wind stopping the lake when it was time for me to be STILL.
oh yes, I heard.

and i heard even later, when the music was shouting praises and all i could do was surrender everything and make each word i sang as true a statement to my heart and to my God as possible. if i couldn't, i wouldn't sing it.
i am so rejuvinated from the chaos of this burdened world. I am sitting here in my dad's arms and I am loving loving LOVING the beautiful stuff he is showing and teaching me.

i just drank some green tea, and i am about to go figure out a schedule for my new quiet times and later watch some nick and norah's infinite playlist and take a shower and paint a little maybe and do laundry and then crash in burn to some sleep.

tomorrow i will get back into the funk of the world and study. and i will cast each burden of mine onto my peaceful God.
and see where that takes me.

"unveil my life. take away my disguise. make me all for you. there is solace in Your solitude."

i 100% believe that.
i 100% believe in you.
i think i might go to that 25 facts note on facebook. i just want to. don't judge me, OK?!
hehe.
