Paradise

I took a much needed JAM (Jesus and Me) day today. I will admit it was forced, because it is hard to break from the schedule, but I knew I needed some time to refill. It was amazing.

I went to Parc Paradisio, which I have talked about before. Seriously, I wish you could see it. It is 10 minutes from here, but like a whole new world. Belgium is great. But it's not really "pretty" like the cute little streets in Germany. It is kinda dark. Dark brick, ya know? Like when you see movies about the depression and you see the deserted towns, and it is always kinda "dull", well that is like Belgium. I love it though. It is home.

But when you get to Parc Paradisio, it is PHENOMENAL (Dad's favorite word). You don't know it from the parking lot, all you can see is a big old wall. But when you walk through the gate, past the petting zoo, through the gift shop, these doors slide open and, seriously, it is magnificent. Indescribable. Really like Paradise. And huge.

I sat there today in awe of God. And everytime the wind blew through me it was like He was wrapping His arms around me and reminding me that He loves me unconditionally. It was amazing.

If you haven't taken time, really "forced" time, to spend alone with God in awhile, do it! Get back to that intimate place with the One who created you for fellowship with him. He will meet you there.

Love ya!!
