I have a wanderlust heart. One that entices me entirely too often to jet off to other countries and lands. Sometimes that feeling makes me discontent because my bank account says “No” to those dreams right now.
Last week though on our mini road trip to a wedding in Idaho I had a revelation. Six hours away can feel completely new. Even more than that new eyes can transport you to other realms entirely. Truly seeing in the present can oddly enough make you feel like you’ve landed in the divine.
Maybe this is the secret to having more time…just living in the present. In the past month I’ve felt like I’ve lived years in the best of ways. Overwhelming? Yes, but not in a negative way. Right in the middle of the Palouse in Idaho as we were driving around my hands find themselves clapping at the stunning view all around me. I can’t contain it. Saturated by beauty I was struck by something deeper. All these glorious visions that greet my new eyes point me back to the One who created it all. That right there is the most incredible thing of all. My wanderlust heart finds home and peace in the Lord and I’m satisfied. Maybe my backyard is a wonderland after all…
