california, here we come.

So I am new at this whole blogging thing. I thought I would give it a try... it could be fun, right?

I will be leaving for california with my friend in just a few days. It will be good to get away, to relax and just think. It will be refreshing. I looked up the meaning of the word refreshing. It means to give new vigor or spirit to; to fill up again. That is what I hope will become of our little adventure to the west coast. Sometimes we need to get away for a while in order for this to happen. I deperately need to be refreshed; filled up, again.

But why do I need this again? Was I not filled up enough the first time? Maybe I was, but I have poured part of me out. Or, quite possibly, I have been filling myself up with things that were not meant to refresh a person. Am I so ignorant to think that the things of this world could give me a new spirit? Or that people - mere human beings like myself - could possibly be perfect enough to fill up my life?

This is something I have realized over and over again. And I will continue to forget, causing myself to remember for another time.


At the church I attend, we sing these lyrics:
the desert blooms
HE MAKES ALL THINGS NEW
all things new.
