It's commonly thought that leaving is easier than being left. Yet today, I found it particulary hard to leave. I was going to leave for Montana yesterday, then I was going to leave this morning at 6am, finally at 10:30am I rolled onto Lake Cook Road headed towards the highway. I decided to be silent for the first couple hours, which was good. It did not take long for the tears to roll down. I am looking forward to this summer in Montana for a million reasons, yet the tears were a affirmation of the love I have in Chicago. I am confident that God is going to do a good work this summer in Montana. I look forward to telling you all about it.
Lastly...some highlights from the car trip thus far
- Tyler Perry's book on tape - I am laughing out loud in my car!
- The Hoover Memorial library in West Branch, IA
- A doppio con panna (coffee) at the Java House in Iowa City
- Seeing Kris Allen (yes, the American idol!) walk infront of my car in Iowa City! :)
- The green hills and trees as back drop to the trip
- A good run tonight at the hotel before crawling into bed.
