Alarms, GPS & Market

Highlights of Atlanta:

1) Driving towards Atlanta and talking about a concert I am going to see with Sunshine, and driving by the LARGEST CHRISTIAN BOOKSTORE Warehouse, called SONshine. Jessica and I laughed soo hard.

2) Not being able to find an Arby's, found Chili's and got almost completely lost before getting back on the highway. Why this is worth noting: we were using GPS... how does one get lost on GPS? Oh, I found a way.

3) Upon arrival at the place we were staying, I set off the alarm by accident. I pushed the wrong button. One would think that if there was an alarm button where the light switches are, it would be RED. The red would completely warn anyone from touching it, and I would never have pressed it. Truth is, I would have wanted to press the button just to understand why I couldn't... but I wouldn't have actually done that. I just would have thought about it quite a bit. Jessica and I completely looked at each other with panic and giggles. She went outside to call the friend who hooked us up with the place, and everyone in the building across from ours was outside on their porches looking at us. The sound woke up the entire building! And yet, no cops came, and no one came to check on us to make sure we were ok. Now, this did not do wonders for our sense of security.

4) Market. Creative Stimulation. Possibility.
I had a glimpse of the future in talking with a couple of vendors. It was great to see the sense of my heart shift gears. I prayed to be open to wherever the Lord would take me. I appreciated having Jessica with me as I threw ideas out, and processed a little bit more of what I was seeing. We laughed a lot. We shopped a bunch. We had a fantastic time. I returned home feeling confirmed in my pursuit of something deep within my heart over the professional realm of banking. It was interesting being there without the intention to buy for Young Life, and it was sad missing Michele and Caroline because our dates were different being there.
It was a great trip... simply marvelous.
