Happy Wednesday! This has felt like the most normal week that I have experienced since I graduated from college. I have woken up to an alarm clock every morning, rushed to get ready, went to work, came home, ran around for my grandparents, then go to church and family activities in the evening. Whew! If I am being honest, I really do enjoy being on a schedule. I am very thankful for a place to work in the mornings, and also to have the availability to help out my grandparents.
Monday afternoon Papa needed a few things out in Fountain Hills, which is about an hours drive from the house. Papa and Grandma lived in Fountain Hills since my mom was in high school, and didn't move out to Queen Creek til 2004. So, I spent all of my childhood "going to grandma's house" in Fountain Hills. I knew it would be pretty neat to go back out there, but I had an exceptional afternoon. I drove down Beeline Highway, which is the same highway that I remember asking my parents very serious questions about the Lord when I was only 6 years old. I remember having a long conversation down that long highway about sin and about accepting Jesus Christ into my heart. I could almost hear my mom and dad asking me questions as I drove down the highway. I turned the music off and just talked to the Lord, being reminded that I have had a relationship with Him for 16 years now. I went to a home where I was picking some things up for Papa, and ended up staying there for a while. The couple talked so highly of my grandparents, and had countless stories of how Grandma and Papa have been so good to them and have really blessed their lives. My "mini road trip" to the desert ended up being such a wonderful time that I desperately needed.

I was thinking of this verse all afternoon...
Whom have I in heaven but You?
Earth has nothing I desire besides You.
Psalm 73:25
Be Blessed
