I just celebrated my 27th birthday and in doing so I've acquired 3+ gray hairs and stress. Yea...how about that for a birthday gift from myself. Don't worry...I'll stop now with the complaining and pity party!
Earlier this week I decided I was going to treat myself to a weekend getaway...solo. Yes, by myself. Earlier this month I went to Houston to visit Phillip, and since he was in training, the majority of my weekend was spent poolside reading. With that short and quiet weekend, not only was I able to read an entire book in less than a day, but I was also able to do a lot of thinking and praying. Not that I can't do all that at home, but it is way different to be out of the routine and be able to just clear my mind and spend hours in quiet time and studying God's word or praying to Him to give me guidance. I came back refreshed and renewed. It was no fancy vacation or anything; I was at a standard hotel airport. The location didn't matter, it was the time. I may be redundant in saying this but that weekend did wonders for me spiritually as well as in my relationships and outlook on my life.
In saying all that...I'm sitting in Houston waiting to board a plane to my destination. I've got two books to read and an open mind asking God to open my heart and renew my spirit as I spend the weekend devoted to spending time in His word and slipping in a little relaxation in there:)
When I got off the plane from Little Rock I was planning on going to Savannah however when I got to the part in the terminal where I was to turn left...I decided to go right. You see, Phillip listed me on a Savannah flight as well as a flight to Kansas City, Missouri. He is working this weekend and his overnight is in Kansas City. I came to a point in the terminal where I had to choose...the cute historic city of Savannah, Georgia with a nearby beach or Kansas City where he would be greeting me at the gate. Yup, I turned right and chose a few extra hours of airport sitting and am Kansas City bound!!! I'm sure I can find a spa somewhere in this city!
