My new back yard, so to speak. It has been quite a long time since my last blog. I am now residing in AZ. This pic was taken at Lake Pleasant which is pretty close to the house.
I have found myself feeling a bit out of touch lately. I last resided in NC in October 2012. After traveling around the Pacific Northwest, I am finally ready to settle here in sunny AZ.
It reminds me so much of my childhood. I grew up in So. California; spend many weekends in the desert. Ocotilla Wells and Glamis. My dad, his friends and other family use to camp and go riding dune buggies, three wheelers and motorcycles in the desert. Hmmm... some great memories of family members who have long passed on......
Since moving and traveling, I have found myself struggling with many things. I have a new life; much different from before. I no longer have to work a 9 - 5 job (or whatever crazy hours I had to work before), I don't have the negativity surrounding me from my ex and I have what I need without worrying about every dime spent. Even with all these positive changes, I have found myself longing for ??? what?? Something feels like it is missing. I think it is "me and God" time. Seems during the most stressful times of my life I felt so much closer to my Lord.
I am now on a quest to reconnect. I hope to find the closeness I use to feel with God and share amazing experiences he brings my way. I hope to encourage myself and learn from my life walk. In the process, maybe be encouraging to someone else.
Soon I will go back and see where my story left off, fill in the blanks if needed and start moving forward.
Lord, I am seeking your face once again.... this time in complete thankfulness and appreciation for all you have to teach me and all the lessons already learned.
Thank you!
