There is something inside of me that comes to live when triggered by certain places, people, things, etc. My spirit is lifted, my mind feels freedom, and my heart overflows with love, adoration, life, and anything beautiful. I feel like I get this silly grin on my face that is impossible to erase unless taken out of that "place or time". At times, I always think if I could just learn how to gather my words or thoughts I could sing the most beautiful song ever, or write the most elegant poem. I feel as if I could bleed all over this world and make it smell like grace and God's unconditional love...this contagious love that draws me in so close...this untamed love that brings us together...just this simpleness and freedom of letting it all go and giving it all away, knowing you have everything you could ever need and that you are no longer a slave to the stuff America calls you to carry.
Our trip out to CO was great. Our first hike together the day after we got there I felt this "love". Just this closeness to home (heaven) that my insides constantly groan for and are longing for the day to be there. We enjoyed our time together away from what has become normal life in North Carolina for us. We enjoyed visiting with Bryce's parents and sharing good stories. I loved eating Chipotle both times in the week we were there!!! Here are some great pictures from our trip. Most of the time we forgot our camera. Another post coming soon!
