Why do I do what I do?
Not just the work things that I do, but the normal everyday things.
What do I default to and why?
It has made me question the long term goals that I have for my future as well.
Why exactly am I working towards that goal?
What are the things that make me come fully alive?
When do I remain content with where I am at in life and when do I push forward into action that breaks the mold?
I was sitting out at the park earlier (something that I can usually do for hours). After about 15 minutes I couldn’t sit there any more. I don’t know if it was that kids screaming and playing, or just the tension I felt stirring in me.
Exploring is one thing that I LOVE doing. So I went home and trekked out into the jungle behind my house. I found a river and many startled animals. I like finding new spots where I know no one else will find me. I ended up on a tree that was stretched out over the little stream. I lay on it as the sun beamed through the trees right to where I was. I soaked in the goodness of the Lord.
In those quiet moments I realized that one thing I have been wanting to do is cook dinner for my roommates. Even though I didn’t know who would be home tonight I made my way back to the house and grabbed my keys to go shopping.
My roommates are all healthy eaters, so I got veggies and chicken for a chicken salad. Of course the salads I make tend to go overboard…many ingredients to make it extra beautiful like strawberries and apples.
When I got home I was very encouraged because two of my roommates joined me and added more food to the mix! We ended up eating dinner on the back porch on a cool Georgia evening. We talked about the tragedy of The Twin Towers 10 years ago. We reminisced about where we were that day and how it has effected our nation.
