My best friend is moving away to Texas in two weeks. We decided to take a weekend road trip
together to go hiking. We left on Friday we were done teaching for
the day and traveled up to Page, Arizona.
We spent the night there and we
hiked horseshoe bend and Antelope Canyon on Saturday. We drove to a town near the Grand Canyon and
hiked there on Sunday.
It was an amazing trip of a
lifetime. We made memories I will never
forget and I got to see things in Arizona I never expected to see. If you are ever in Arizona, I recommend
hiking in these locations.
But one
thing was missing~ my time with the LORD.
My friend is not a Christian but she understands that my relationship
with the LORD is important. However,
spending this much time with one person who occasionally swears and talks about
things that don’t glorify GOD becomes difficult after 24 solid hours.
I packed my bible and the only time I had
alone with the LORD was when she was in the shower. This gave me 15 minutes with the LORD. This is not enough time and the trip was
beginning to wear me out~ Spiritually.
After I got home on Sunday I had to
do a million things to recoup from the trip.
I had to get groceries, pick up my dog, do lesson plans, wash
clothes. I was exhausted from the hiking
and went to bed early.
The next day I made sure to spend
lots of time with the LORD. I realized
how much I missed Him. I missed
communicating with Him and reading His word.
I missed my time to worship him. After spending two hours with GOD I felt
peace. I felt like my relationship with
him was restored. It feels good to feel
his presence in my life. It was like breathing
fresh air.
This trip showed me how important
it is for me to maintain my relationship with GOD. I don’t want to ever “miss” my Savior again.
