I know it’s Wednesday!
Monday’s Scattered thoughts – Long drives bring clarity
I don’t know what it is about driving long distances (1 hr and up) solo that brings clarity to my life. Perhaps it is just that, solitude. Perhaps there is something to this being alone in a one space for an extended period of time that allows me to focus on well, me and everything that encompasses that. There is a very distinct voice that begins to surface in this place. One that is brutally honest and yet brilliantly brings perspective that I did not recognize in whatever space I was living in.
There are few things I am looking to reclaim in my life at this point and I believe solitude is going to be central to that cause. I’ve often spoken with some of my pastor friends about lifestyle changes and disciplines and finding a balance in an otherwise hectic/demanding life and how they manage it all. Some recognize it, some don’t.
My driving in a way is recognizing it. But most often than not its just that, Recognizing it, nothing follows. So this is my attempt to follow through. It’s not just about me, its about my marriage, it’s about my future kids, it’s about setting a foundation and mine is cracked.
