Sumn about San Francisco

You know what? I love to travel! You know what else? I love to travel to awesome cities. My after what has felt like non-stop traveling back and forth to random cities over the past 6 months I was very pleased to return to one of my favs....SAN FRANCISCO!

So I haven't posted any pics of my recent endeavors to the great (and not so great) cities of our country, so here is just a few!

Detroit in the bg

Chi-town!!

Chi town again!

Well a tough semester had just ended and I needed to get away somewhere, which is crazy cuz I been hoppin planes like someone is after me. But I got just what I needed. I got to see some family I haven't seen in a few years, spend some time with a beloved cousin, shop until my chucks bout gave out on me in the coolest thrift stores in the world, listen to live bands play on stoops in the city, watch the fog roll in from the bay, watch the sun set over the Pacific....basically, I loved every moment of it. I even loved that my flight to CA was cancelled. You see, when I got to the airport, they wonderful, personality-LESS lady at the desk informed me that my flight had been cancelled. Well lately I've been trying to not let the cares of this old world move me and wreck my mood. So I calmly asked that precious desk agent to find a solution, b/c I needed to get the CA. Well folks she did...FIRST CLASS!

OMG...now I know I'm somewhat of a country girl and I sure felt like it when I got escorted to my first class seat. (thats what they do in first class...they escort you). So when I sat down in my recliner the flight attendant not only asked me what I wanted to drink, but also if I wanted the chicken and cous cous, or pasta. Umm...well I don't know too much about airplane food so I chose the pasta. And guys, it was BOMB! OMG!! And I got free movies, food, drinks, blankets, pillows, basically anything I wanted the entire duration of the flight. It was heaven. Ohhhh it was heaven. I wasn't sitting right up on somebody, and wasn't nobody sitting right up on me! HEAVEN!

I got there to find a warm greeting from my cousin, my auntie and her british husband Keith. You know one of my favorite things is to walk through security at the airport after a long and tiring flight only to be greated with hugs and kissed from loved ones. I mean seriously, its kinda weird, but I LOVE it!

All in all folks, the Lord has given me a wonderful life. I never planned on doing so much traveling and meeting so many people at such a random time in my life. One minute I'm grinding, working 50+ hours a week and going to school. The next I'm hoppin flights and meeting some of the most wonderful people I've ever met. The cares and worries I was use to carrying melted away and God just opened my eyes to a fraction of what He means my life to be. I always prayed and waiting for the Lord to do something awesome, but it seems like He was moving soooo slooooowwww. But during that entire time that I was waiting for Him to shake some things up, He was teaching me how to handle it once He did.

I guess grateful would be the word.

Well I'm planning my next trip and guess where I'm goin...CHICAGO!! lol I LOVE that city. I think this will be my third or fourth trip this year. Can't wait! 5 days of seeking God, prayer, eating, worshipping, laughing, sharing with friends and family.

Thank you for the life You've given me. I wouldn't dare ask for a different one when You've made Yourself so majestic in this one.

I pray that you will find every bit of joy and peace that the Lord has for you. I pray that you specifically will find what it means to completely trust the Lord in everything. I pray that you will never allow yourself to be separated from the love of God.
