Massage

This past weekend I had the opportunity to go to Palm Springs and hang out with some of the girls from Matthew's House. Going into the weekend I knew I would have a good time and would get to know the others a little better, but who would have thought that I could also have some good "God Time" while I was there? On Saturday we decided to get massages at one of the Spa Resorts. The idea of a massage, as I understand it, is to relax, but for me this was just not going to happen. I don't like the idea of being half naked and having some strange lady touch me; so you can imagine that I was a little tense. As the massage proceeded I continued to over-analyze the situation and was unable to relax. After numerous times of repeating to myself, "relax, relax" I decided I needed to try something different. The first thought was to pray, and so I did. For my 50 minute massage I prayed about everything from relaxing to moving away to school. It was an awesome opportunity to connect with God on that personal level that I always push aside because I am too busy or even just too lazy. Its neat for me to think about all the situations that God provides for us to hang out with Him, and all we have to do is listen to that little voice inside that says, "Pray".
