SILENCE...

I have found myself in Decorah today!  I drove for about 4 hours, only getting turned around a couple of times, to speak at the church in Decorah.  I'm speaking about Youth Alive!  (Which is slowly becoming my new favorite thing to talk about.)  It's exciting when God not only opens a door but plants a passion in you for the new experience!

For amusements sake I have a story!  I was looking forward to a night alone in a hotel!  I got to the hotel around 8ish and decided I would go grab some food.  At about 10 I started winding down and preparing to go to bed.  I was oh so enjoying the quietness and alone time, fully expecting a great night of sleep!  Once I shut off the tv and was ready to slip into bed I could hear a group of people talking and laughing rather loudly right behind the wall that the bed is against!  I couldn't help but chuckle because I believe the loud people were in the lobby.  It was actually kind of them to go to the lobby to avoid disturbing other guests near them but unfortunately I could hear them quite well.  It sounded as though they were in my room!  So I decided since I obviously wasn't going to be sleeping that I would finally create a blog!

I had been seriously considering a blog for the past week or so and figured I might as well go for it!  I just find it so funny at the timing of things.  Had I not had the interruption to my sleep I probably would have gone on for another week or so thinking about it and potentially never creating it!  God gives us divine moments and encounters for a reason.  It may seem simple and maybe disconnected for you, but I believe God kept me awake to make a blog.  So I hope you all sleep fantastically tonight!  The loud group has made their way to their own rooms and it is now quiet!
