When I get weekends off the grid where I can escape from technology, I like to schedule these posts ahead of time to predict what I’ll be doing during the time that it publishes.
Since it’s 5pm now, my prediction is that I’ve done a fair amount of hiking with my close friends and we’re just now getting back to the campsite we stayed at the night before. It’s been a beautiful day of perfect weather and we’re talking about what a great decision it was to come out this weekend.
There will be some complaints talked about how the night before was not everything we expected, maybe one of us was a bit cold, but we’ll talk about how good the dinner we had was and how we are looking forward again to eating good food.
In my mind, I think I’ll be very grateful to God for allowing me to meet friends who love to go adventuring and camping, and I’ll be even more grateful to have brothers in Christ to be able to talk about the important things of life and be in the word and prayer together.
Deep inside, I may also be longing for mountains and lakes in some of the more beautiful places of the earth. Being content where God has allowed me to go yet still having a feeling of adventure that’s not satisfied.
I write this 24 hours before it publishes and these things are happening, and only time will tell to see if these are the feelings and events that actually happen.
In any case, I’m so glad to be able to sleep another night away from the wealth of things in the city and end the night looking at the stars millions of lightyears away (if there are no clouds).
What a blessed life I have been given.
