What's that?
For some reason I just can't wrap my head around the fact that summer has actually begun!
To tell you the honest truth, I have not had one day off. Besides Sundays of course! I am working at the golf course on Saturdays and Wednesdays and so far this summer and scheduled on my calendar for the month of June, babysitting a TON! I get to spend my Tuesdays and Thursdays with the Terpsrta girls and I absolutely love it. They make me laugh and smile so much! And then I've been really blessed with just random calls for times throughout the week, and that's what keeps me busy! I absolutely love babysitting and will take that over a "job" any day, so please, keep your calls or e-mails on facebook comin! I'm way looking forward to summer at the cottage and getting to spend more time with my girlfriends and Joe too! I love not having to do homework and worry about school, life is so much more relaxed. And who can not appreciate getting to sleep in every once and a while, that has been a blessing in itself!
On a deeper note...
Lately I've been realizing the "hurt" in our community. I think when were young things like death, cancer, and premature birth are a "bummer" and then not thought about too much more. Now that I'm older I'm just getting to start to realize how unfair life really is. Don't get me wrong, I along with any of us should not complain about "life." We have it so good, and God gave us this amazing earth to live on and I'm so thankful for that! But back to my point. How awesome will life not be in heaven? When we don't have to worry about sickness or death. When money and fear won't "run" everyone's lives, it will be amazing.
- There was recently a new country song on the radio that talks about a man saying, "I'll work like it's all up to me, and pray like it's all up to HIM." I think this is how we should all live our lives. We should live our lives as best as we possibly can but at the end of the day give it all up to God. This week and more so this whole summer I want to challenge myself to live MY life in ways that are God honoring. He's the one that put us on this beautiful earth in the first place! Why not thank him for it?
I hope I gave you something to think about, and if not, at least I challenged my self! Who ever said talking to yourself if weird? Haha, it works!
