I’m sitting in my Jeep across the street from the community center in Crawley, a small community near Crawley Lake, down the road from Rock Creek. I’m about settled in to my tiny cabin. Cheeky is in heaven, exploring and making friends with our neighbors. She’s the popular one on the block. I’ve been playing the guitar a lot. I have written nine songs and I would like to play them until I know them without thinking. Until they come second nature. I would like to record them and put them together into an album. They are pretty personal so I don’t know how I would feel about sharing them to anyone but it would be nice to have them in a finalized version.
I just spoke to a woman at a trailer park in Bozeman. I’m thinking about getting a trailer and living in it at a park. This one seemed like a good possibility. I found a light weight trailer by a company called Scamp. The trailer is 16 feet long and it weighs 1700 pounds. I could tow it with my Jeep. They are hard to find though. They can cost about 20 grand more or less.
I haven’t quite gone camping yet. Dad came up and we camped a couple nights. He slept in the roof tent and I slept in the Jeep. We had a couple camp fires. I want to get my camping stuff together. When I got my Jeep stuck out in the woods a few weeks ago, it was a wake up call. I was stranded in Mammoth at a Motel 6 for the night and I didn’t have my meds. It was a test and with God’s help I made it. But it reminded me that I need to be prepared for situations like those. I can’t be spontaneous without being ready. So I want to be ready when I go camping. I have most of the stuff.
I found a place where I can be with God. We’re always with God but I found a place in the forest not to far from our cabins. There are streams coming down from the mountain in a few different places. It’s a good place to get away and just be with God. It’s one of the main reason’s I’m here, to spend time with him. We all get the privilege to spend time with Him, and if we let Him and if we listen, He will guide us to places where we can be with Him in secret. He desires to be with us. It’s a good place in His creation where I can enjoy His work and where He can work on me. I think it’s working.
Go God
