For the last few weeks, I've been in a spiritual funk. I woke up today and decided that I needed to break my routine. Every day when I wake up, it's the same old thing over and over again. I start with prayer. Then my daily devotional. Then I go over the scripture that I've memorized. Then I do my small group study homework. Then I do my personal study (currently studying Acts). It's gotten so monotonous that I'm completely bored with it. I've even cut my study time short lately because I wasn't feeling like I was getting anything out of it.

Today I decided to take a drive to Mt. Charleston to have some quality one on one time with God. I walked on the trails and enjoyed the scenery. I took a few pictures. It was very relaxing. It helped that it was about 25 degrees cooler than it was in Vegas.

I found a tree stump in the shade and sat on it. I had a great devotional and prayer time. This change of routine was exactly what I needed. I felt God's presence and I reconnected with Him. I feel a sense of peace now that I haven't felt in a while.
