i am convinced that God has gifted us all with our own unique ways to escape the limitations and expections of reality and grasp a fresh perspective of our world. He gives us the ability to take a step backward and distance ourselves in order to step closer; the ability to lose ourselves, forget everything and focus on the joy he brings us in the moment itself. He takes us, each individually, to a realm where his voice is amplified above all else, a place where there is nothing between ourselves and him. In the depths of the complexity within our minds, this is where we find rest for our souls and capture new hope for the future.

For some it is running, sailing, snowboarding, rock climbing, skating, cooking, playing sport, reading, or making music. For others it is exporing, photography, sewing, scrapbooking or collecting.

But for me it is dancing, painting and sketching. it is surfing, being out in the water, It is taking long walks or lying down in the grass. it is singing at the top of my lungs when no one can hear me. it is writing and it is (don't laugh) cleaning the kitchen.

Dont ignore or put aside what you love or what you find relaxing. Everyday, allow yourself to enter into that zone of rest and freedom. Dont be afraid to withdraw and spend time alone for that is when God speaks.

Fibbs Wintley says that:
"it is in the quiet crucible of your personal life that your nobelist dreams are born and God's greatest gifts are given"

Dont look at the things that make you happy and render them powerless, useless or unessecary. God did not grant to you the desires of your heart merely as time wasters.
