House Sitting

So my little brother went with his dad to the east coast to visit their family in Boston/ Martha's Vineyard. Steve, my little brother (Conner)'s dad, asked me to house sit and just watch over the house while they were gone.

So for a whole week it was like I was living on my own. The house is up in West Redding out off of Placer; and being that I am unemployed still, paying for gas to drive back and forth from west redding and shasta view area is not worth it. Not saying I didn't go to church or college group or school, but it was more of a well if I'm coming into town, I'm going to hang out in town and once I go to the house I'm staying at the house. Sort of exciting? Not really haha.

It was cool though just to have a lot of time to myself and just talking with God. There was a lot of, I don't know if you would say catching up, but more of a focus I guess on getting where I needed to be with God.

It was real nice, I would wake up and go for a swim then just sit in the sun until I was dry just listening to worship music, focusing on the words and what they are trying to stir up as far as truths. At night I would do something similar, go for a swim, take a shower and just sit and spend time with God before falling asleep.

I miss that. It was something that I got to do a lot in Australia that I haven't really been doing, or been able to do since I've been home. Being able to just not have a real agenda and just spend time with God. It so crucial, and I can notice a difference in myself as well as my relationship with God you know.

And this last week was just cool too, I have started designing stuff again, it's been a while since I've just set and let my creativity go. I think there might be a corrolation between my creativity and my relationship with God? who knows? haha.

Best part hands downt though of the week was the opportunity to do worship with Luke and Whitney at the Jr. High retreat at the Burroughs, I don't really know I just love hanging out with those guys and then to be able to do worship and stuff to, just so rad.

Not too eventful of a week, just a lot of hanging out at the house ha.
