The countdown begins...
We're down to 5 weeks folks. When I really think about it, it kinda blows my mind. In 5 weeks I'm gonna be in my own apartment, doing everything for myself. And I'll be driving my own car and I'll be back on my own schedule. I've really missed that. I'm so psyched to see people and to go to class which I never thought I would say. But I'm also realizing that my time here is precious and I need to make the most of it. I can't wait to stop working but I am gonna miss the people at Glendorn. We've become a family. (granted its screwed up and dysfunctional but somehow we keep each other going) I had fun just hanging out with the guys and Quinn last night. Her and Brooke have been my saving grace this summer. We have so much fun and they make me laugh until it hurts. You just never know when new people are gonna come into your life and make it even brighter than before. That's what I love about life. People come and go and everything is always changing. It makes things exciting. I wonder who I will meet this year. Who will I get to know better or start hanging out with? You just never know. I've enjoyed my time with my family too. Especially Joel. I'm glad he'll be close next year so I can see him. We've all ready made plans for Labor Day weekend. I'm just praying that he likes it at Slippery Rock and he finds some true friends who will make the experience great for him.
I've also enjoyed my alone time this summer. I've had time to work out, lay out in the sun, read some good books, and really read the bible. I've been working my way through the Old Testament and its just awesome to see the story of God's people unfolding. And man are they dumb sometimes! But God continually uses their mistakes to reveal His glory and mercy. The humbling thing is when I realize that I'm just like them and I need just as much grace as they do. Definately been the kick in the pants that I need.
I'm praying that all my friends are having a restful and fun summer, no matter where they are! I miss Amber and Meg and I can't wait to see them when they get back. And I'm praying for Krista, Kelly and Niki as they're in China. God please protect them and do a great work in and through them. And be with Ryan and keep him strong at Basic.
Well I think I'm gonna attempt to clean out my drawers and closet and start throwing junk away. After August my bedroom is no longer mine!
