The Beauty of Showers

I love showers. They are the absolute best place to go if you want to think. I mean, there is no better place to think than a place where you get to be completely yourself... naked.

No one can come jump you from out of nowhere. No one can mosey their way into your stream of consciousness. No one can call you. No interruptions... unless you're me. This isn't a huge problem. Being interrupted did lead to this blog. So, not a completely bad thing. I just like peace and quiet when I take long showers in the middle of the night. Showers are my escape.

A lot has happened in the past few months. God has definitely been revealing an air-craft-carrier-sized load to me. It has been a bunch of craziness, but delightfully pleasing and incredibly difficult. I just wanted unpack this ridiculously massive amount of amazing-ness. So many things, all the things I've learned about myself last semester, things going on in my family, Passion, new opportunities and ministries presenting themselves this next semester, wanting to go serve either in Africa or Southeast Asia/India. It almost feels like a Hiroshima has happened. That size of destruction. Inappropriate? Maybe. Accurate description? I feel the illustration does it justice. God is awesome. Sometimes he uses massive amounts of information and crazy events to make you into his workmanship.

Once again, I started this blog because I wanted to get my thoughts out since my shower time was cut short. I know it sounds like I'm complaining and I'm bitter, but that is not necessarily the case. Ok... I might be a little bitter, but I simply cut my shower short because I was questioned as to why I was taking such a long shower in the middle of the night. Feeling exposed, I stopped the shower and now I'm here. I should clarify that the person only stuck their head into the bathroom, they did not burst through the shower curtain and bludgeon me.

So, here I am. Starting a blog. Thanks to the beauty of showers and my longing for them. Hopefully I'm more entertaining and insightful than I think.
