Spontaneously, I decided I was going to take a hike today... and by spontaneous... I mean- im going to check my mail and oh while im at it, I think ill go on a hike- kind of spontaneous... So I took my mail (thanks to angie and adrianne who sent me love mail:)) and continued walking.
Now I dont know any of the trails... or where they would be, so I just heard water... and followed it. My new whale rainboot sure came in handy (thanks mom!). Since I was walking through water, and the trails I had encountered were all flooded.
I then proceeded to get lost... But I wasnt worried or anxious about being lost. I was strangely at peace. I just... continued walking, walked in circles. Finally saw some signs but they just told me about the destination... not how I could get back.
So I wandered some more... and I apparently wandered in the right direction and finally hit a trail that I recognized from before and made it back. Started.... 3:30 4ish came back around sundown. Thats an adventure Id like to take again. In all... id like to say I had a.. successful Huck Finn worthy day.
walking...and walking...and walking...
One of the many rivers I came across
Also, please keep my Dad in your prayers... He was diagnosed with Bells Palsy, which is the temporary paralysis of half of his body. Right now he has feeling in his left arm, but his face still isnt working as hed like it to... Its something that naturally goes away on its own.. But its scary. So prayers would be wonderful right now!
I hate that I had to come back so soon... Ride situations got fuzzy... again.. So I had to come back with the next available person, and they happened to be leaving yesterday. I am a little exausted at the way God has been testing me as of late... But as I was reminded, the response to all this testing is to turn to Him. And turn to Him I have done. I am so glad He has control over me... As if im not already a slow motion accident, imagine me steering my life! Praise God, grace like rain... fall on me.
