I went for one of my drives earlier on this evening - it was really spontaneous I just felt this real urge to become free. So I went driving early evening when the sun was setting. It was beautiful, just truly magnificent. The colours were just divine and it made me fall in love again with the world our God has created for us.
When I was a child my Grandad Twinkle always used to tell me and my sisters about the sun needing to go to bed because it's so tiring being so bright and shinning all the time. He told us when the sun went to bed, so must we.
I was reminded of this childhood story while driving; the memory moved me so much that I had to stop. I pulled over and was surrounded by fields that were being set aglow with the most rich and dazzling colours from the setting sun. This made me realise the true value of what many people have been saying for the last week, rest. I got time to just be still; I managed to rest in God's presence - it was truly mind-blowing.
