country cruising

This morning I left early to go visit a small branch of our church. For my assignment at church, I am blessed to do a little traveling around to congregations, to visit the women and to uplift them.

It was a lovely, peaceful drive all by myself.

I thoroughly enjoyed the wide open space, the scattering of animals, the delightful houses along the way and the green pastures from the recent down-pouring of rain we have had.




I so love the country. I would love to live out there again.
The find joy in the space, the air and the stillness.

It was a lovely time-out for me. 
To gather my thoughts.
To cruise the roads, gospel tunes playing and enjoying the scenery.

What about you - do you delight in the country side?
Or are you more of a city chick?

  1. what a lovely thing to do. It was my 1st sunday back at church today since having elodie and so emotional for me, I was just so grateful to have my new baby I kept getting all teary!

    I'd love the space of living in the country but hubby is a city boy and his line of work is based in the big cities! I dream of a hobby farm though when we're rich and famous ha ha!

  2. I think it depends on what time in your life it is. At the moment I'd say city through and through but I'd love to settle down in the country (with, of course, close proximity to a decent shopping centre ;))

  3. These images are SO beautiful Naomi!

    Isn't it wonderful to drive through such gorgeous countryside, with only your own thoughts to keep you company and pleasant things to wait you at the end of your trip.

    This was a very uplifting post for me and I thank you for sharing it.

    Big hug,
