The sweetest reminder

Sitting on my deck last night I allowed myself to drift back in time.  The setting reminded me of a time so many years ago when I attended youth conferences in Texas. Every single night we would go to the tennis courts and lay there staring at the sky praying or reflecting on ourselves all the while listening to music.  They called it vespers.  I loved that time so much that when I went home I continued the practice on my own. The neighborhood boys and I would lay on my front lawn and pray. Last night I remembered all of this. I then to reflect on where that girl went. I was sad to realize where I've let myself land. I've promised myself never again and until I'm where I belong I will spend my days trying to live life as I was.intended to and to remember to always put God's plan before my own selfishness.
