My most recent obsession is skydiving. It's something I have wanted to do as long as I can remember, so after I did my first tandem jump back in July, I was hooked! There's nothing to compare to the feeling of falling through the sky. It's like the whole world stops for a few minutes while you're doing something completely irrational, yet exhilarating. Skydiving has a special way of clearing your mind, too. When I'm in freefall, the only thing I'm thinking about is exactly what I'm doing at that moment. It's like hitting a reset button on my brain. When I hit the ground, it feels as though I'm just waking up. Everything is new again. Worries of the day don't return until I am miles away from the dropzone. It's really an exciting way to refocus. Another thing that "restarts" me is running. I'm an "unplugged" runner most of the time, so no iPod, no gps, no running buddies to talk with along the way. That's my

I remember about 10 years ago, I felt like I never had a situation in my life where I really needed to trust God.  I know that sounds crazy.  Life wasn't perfect, don't get me wrong, but I just never remember having the conscious thought that I needed to just trust God's plan.  Maybe I was young, maybe I was stupid, maybe I just didn't have the relationship with God that I should have. Fast forward to now.  Here I am, about to turn 30 years old, having no clue what God's plan for me is.  Every time I think I know where God is leading or who God is leading me to, a door closes.  Some of those closed doors are harder to accept than others, but every time that happens I have a choice to make - do I wallow in disappointment or do I trust God's plan for me?  As silly as it sounds, wallowing in disappointment is often the choice I make, for a little while anyway. I am a planner.  I like to control the situations around me.  I am just now realizing these things.  *
