Miami, Miami, Miami!

When you are a single mother, career woman, and college student, there is usually not much time to yourself. So when you do get a moment, or even a weekend away from the race against time, you tend to take it all in for you know it may not last long. This past weekend I was able to go to Miami and breathe, relax, take in some sun, and just enjoy "myself". Even though I cried like a baby when I dropped Mekenzie off at school Friday morning, I am always in the mindset that I know she needs me, so I have to be there for her.

So in order for me to leave her for three days was a very hard thing to do. I deal with so much mentally on a daily note, that I never remember to think of what I need to do or feel for myself. This trip gave me that moment. Time spent with great friends, was way more than what I expected or even thought I needed. Friday night I was taken to an absolute wonderful spot were these big beautiful rocks lead a path in the middle of the ocean, and I was able to walk on these rocks until I couldn't go anymore and just sit.. think... sit some more... think some more...; and think about how creative my God is.

Saturday me and my friends spent a lot of time at the beach, while enjoying some cocktails, laying in the sun, embracing a fascinating breeze, and swimming in a beautiful ocean.

Here's a pic from our hotel roof top pool, so relaxing and pleasant.

 After spending much time up here, I didn't want to go back to the room. And the ocean view wasn't bad either.

It's amazing to actually reflect on how the world was created, and it's also a blessing to be apart of it and appreciate it all the same.

Taking in such a moment and view, was breath taking many times during this trip.

I couldn't help many times but to just take a pictures of the ocean,

or even the sand. I think myself couldn't even believe I had a break from it all.

I missed my Mekenzie a lot, and many thoughts rolled through my mind of her missing me, and myself missing her, but I was able to quickly result back

to taking it all in, before my duties begin once again Tuesday Morning.



The pictures were so beautiful. I knew where I was and I could see the beauty in it all. But when I looked at the pictures I felt as if I was viewing someone else's post card, because I couldn't believe I was there.

I work in one of the most stressful job environments, and to be able to take this trip to Miami with wonderful friends, I now know that I can still trust God in what is to come of my life, and the necessary steps it takes to get there. To be able to go from paradise and back to a unstable work environment, gives me drive to keep going, and trust in the word in which I beleive. For moments like these are worth the struggle to get to them.

Love is not lost, only sometimes forgotten...
