Walk Alone

Last week I spent some time in Colorado visiting a friend. While I was there I took some time to adventure out on my own, just looking for trails and driving where I wanted to. I wasn't lonely. Having a relationship with the Lord for me means never feeling entirely alone. There is always a Companion, ready and willing to listen and guide. I don't have to be afraid of what I don't know or how I will figure things out.

My favorite hike wasn't even on the map. As I trekked uphill and found various spurs, I just chose what felt right and wandered around the mountain, stopping to take a few pictures and just breathe the mountain air. I found a meadow labeled "Garden of Eden." At one point my phone (which had the AllTrails App on it), shut down because my sweaty body had apparently ghost typed my password in wrong too many times. Ironically, I didn't sweat it.

Even as a serious extrovert, I love my time alone. I wish for everyone the ability to enjoy their own company and that of the Lord. To just be, come back into their body and enjoy the Creator and the things he's created.
