The moment you think your world is falling apart may just be the moment your world is coming together.

  • MY LORD GOD, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think that I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone. - Thomas Merton, "Thoughts in Solitude"

Cancun

Posted by carolanna on July 17, 2008

Cancun has come and gone. It was a great trip! I laid on the beach with five amazing people. We read, ate, worked out, walked down the beach, and just had a good time. It was relaxing and refreshing! One of my favorite moments was one night after we had walked down the beach and had an impromptu beach volleyball game. We sat on the beach chairs and got to know each other better. I loved it. I loved hearing the waves crash against the beach and talking with friends, getting to know them.

These are the moments that make life great. There are few things I like better than simply hanging out with friends, laughing and sharing life together. Whether it be on a beach in Mexico, in the mountains of Colorado, on the National Mall in D.C., at a lake house in Austin, or a BBQ in Lubbock — that is where I want to be.

  1. I couldn’t agree with you more. It doesn’t matter where you are in the world – if you can talk and laugh with your real friends then life is good (of course white beaches and waves gently lapping the shore often helps!) (and a few tropical drinks with mini umbrellas in them!!!)
