Regrouping

I have so many bad habits, I have no idea where to start. Least among my list is the fact that I tend to drive myself physically and emotionally to empty without even realizing it.

One of the things that God has been saying to me in the past few years is... "there is so much more.." It has renewed in me an extreme sense of searching for a higher purpose. As I continue to seek out this refreshed calling, the more that the universe-at-large tries to stop me.

Between subtle things like emotional stress and physical exhaustion come more obvious things like loss of friends or the passing of a loved one. But they all have one thing in common, they are all part of the test of life. They are all a question..... Will you praise God?

Last week, a dear family friend passed away. She was a grandmother figure for my sister and I. The best thing I can say about her is that it was obvious that she loved God and people. She was
wonderful role model and an amazing lady.

On Monday, I was blessed with a few moments of calm to regroup physically and emotionally.
My parents friends invited us out to their cabin on Paint Creek. I am not sure if it was the fresh fish, the cornhole or the good fellowship, but it left me feeling refreshed.

I am not sure what God has ahead, but I continue to be grateful for the "regroup" moments.
