it may not have been great timing for me to start my blog right before the busiest season of the year. i've neglected this thing. but now i have room to take a breath. the last month has been very busy. full of good things. it has also been exhausting. i'm thankful for the next two days where there is nothing on my calendar except going to the pool with my sis.
some things i've learned/been reminded of this past month:
- God is much bigger than i am. his plans are different than mine. surprising. scary. and beautiful.
- the people who work at Christ Church are incredible. i got to be reminded of that on our staff retreat at the beginning of the month. i dare you to find a group of people more hilarious, dedicated, or intent on doing God's will.
- babies are the best. my friends grace and eric had baby theodore on june 7. he's seriously the best.
- God doesn't care how old you are. he wants to use you now. i saw this on our middle school mission trip last week. those kids worked hard. they loved others well. i am proud of them and excited to see how God keeps using them. God also used one of the high school students on our student leadership team to give me a word from Him that was incredibly timely and encouraging - this 15 year old young woman had the depth to listen to God and then the courage to share what He said. blown away.
- i need 8 hours of sleep every night. that's still true. waiting for the day when it isn't.
i don't even have any pictures to spice this thing up.
i'm hosting community dinner on sunday. and making homemade pizza. i'll try to remember to document that and share it.
peace.
