(no subject)
It has been around a month since I have updated, let alone looked at my live journal. It is so easy to disregard cyber connections of relationship, i went about twelve days without looking at myspace. But still, a month with no online journaling, where have I been? How have I been? To tell you the truth, I've never been so happy in my life for such a period of time. I am in love with everything around me, my job, my house, my room, my friends, my vacations, the landscape of the midwest, et cetera et cetera.
During the time of my ceasing of communication, I have spent a week in the mountains in California, and a week up in the woods in Northern Michigan. California was with my youth group for Christian camp, located in the Southern Sierra Nevadas outside Fresno. I don't think I will live a better week than I did at camp. Seven days with Kyle, John, Josh, Megan, Amie, and Brittany, was such a blessing. We passed so much knowledge of a Christian life. I will never forget that remarkable week.
Then recently I was up in Michigan with family and family friends, nestled in a beautiful landscape of lakes and forests. I wandered aimlessly at midnight into the woods, gazing upon the stars, filled with the words of C.S Lewis and the melodies of Sufjan Stevens. With each and every step in those woods, i fell in love again and again with Jesus.
Being home hasn't been bad either. It has definitely been the most relaxing summer I've experienced. I just feel so content with everything I do; whether it is working, writing, reading, or simply doing nothing, it's all worthwhile.
It wouldn't surprise me if I re read this entry and felt like the true details aren't revealed, but I'm enjoying my time right now so much, that I don't care to paint a crystal clear image. I only hope who reads this will get the assumption that I'm doing well.
My next update may not be for weeks, or maybe there will be another tomorrow. I just pray that this temporary high on Christ, and high on life isn't so temporary after all....
p.s- i've been sober for over 365 days.
I love
