Encouragement
Escape....it is the one word that truly defines what most try to do in times of great distress and aggravation.
For some, we live a life that seems to take away from the beauty around us. We are so caught up in the never ending cycle that is our everyday routine.
Eventually, we get so caught up that we don't even have time for the simple things...or at least that's what we are led to believe in todays world. It seems like everyday there is always some sort of drama happening somewhere or in someone's life that calls for our immediate attention. For myself, it seems like time is either moving too fast or too slow...
It is during these moments in our lives that we wish to escape the realities of this world and go into the ones we have dreamed about since the time we were little.
You know what I'm talking about....the place where everything is peaceful and you don't have a care in the world that could bring you down. It's the place we like to read about in story books and dream about when we sleep. Everyone has a certain place they like to escape to in their minds, and everyone has their own way of getting there; whether it be through music, art, travel, poetry, painting, singing, or just plain make believing ( I know I have done all these things ).
During my years of growing up in this jungle we call Earth, I have experienced the need to escape from the harsh realities of my life that I felt I just could not handle on my own. There were times I truly felt as though I would never see that peaceful place I always dreamed about when I was young. Whenever those harsh moments of life came crashing into me, I would always either hide away in my room and listen to my music, or draw in order to escape the realities I did not want to face.
However...it also during these times that we also forget that we aren't alone. In all things God is always there, and knows what we are going through. He is the best place to escape to when all else seems dim, unfamiliar, and scary. If we put all our faith in Him, He will show us that place we alway dreamed about but couldn't seem to find in this world.
