So I think I need to make more road trips. Long ones, not just an hour or less, but like 2, 3, 4 hours. Why? Because my drives to and from Augusta in the last couple days really were more like Journeys with God. Lots of emotions, lots of pretty scenery, lots of music, lots of prayer. Fantastic.
I guess I don't spend enough alone time where my mind is focused. I spend a lot of it vegging and doing nothing, but no, that doesn't do it. Something about driving, when my mind is actually paying attention and I have lots of free time to just talk to God and listen, it's really great. PLUS, I got to spend hours just listening to the music on my iPod. I had forgotten how much of a healing effect music has on me...
God used each trip to reveal something new to me (or remind me of something old so it became new again). So wonderful... well there's that.
In other news, the wedding was SOO BEAUTIFUL!! There was hardly a dry eye in the house, it was a very sweet and beautiful wedding. Ben and Brittany love each other SOO much and it's so very clear. Their families mesh very well and were very welcoming to me and everyone else. I had fun meeting some new people, eating some yummy food, and spending some time in a new town! (Yay Evans/Augusta/Martinez!) Oh, and buying a new dress and wearing it and looking really perty :) that was fun too!
I'm so glad I got to be a part of the special day. During the reception, I started reflecting a bit, since I had no one to dance with and was rather bored... Two more of my friends are now married. I'm sure tons more are going to get married or engaged soon, and it's just a little lonesome every now and then. In an emotional girl moment, it finally hit me, as everyone was pairing up on the dance floor, that I had no one there with me and I felt really lonely. That wasn't very fun. So that was one of the things me and God talked about in the car ride home, and that got better. Yay!
I've been trying to write this post for like an hour and I'm getting nowhere new, I'm gonna sign off now.
