Wow, this summer has been something i never expected. It has been simultaneously the best summer of my life as well as the most difficult. I have SO enjoyed the Bible study I've been doing on Daniel. I love the girls in it, and the wonderful discussions we have. It is so challenging to be studying the Bible purely for knowledge, not to come away with some big important life changing truth for myself. Its so lame how even reading the Bible can be all about ME sometimes. I also really like my job (working as the office manager at Commonwealth Solutions, Inc, my dad and ben's new company), but by the end of the week i'm tired because i'm doing A LOT during the week. I just went to my cabin 3 weekends in a row, which was wonderful but a little bit overload. its nice to be staying home this weekend with the possibility of actually getting things done. I'm missing something this weekend though, something that has brought me tons of unexpected joy and companionship and challenge this summer. 10 more days. (i love ambiguity)
this summer has been so hard though too. losing Mr. Sheehan. i don't have words. i can't. there are none. he is in his final stage. who knows how many more days he will be here. there are no words, but God knows my heart on that.
and there's my dear shay--how can i support her? i wish i better knew how.
and there's my beki gone. she so should be here, but God had other plans for her this summer. its ok though, i know that she will quickly get what was going on in our planet once she takes her rocket ship back here. she just knows me so well. she will understand.
oh! i forgot the other good thing. 2 weeks from today, my Betsy will be a married woman heading off to her honeymoon! I just love her and Eric so much. They are going to be such a dynamic team.
And one last joy of the summer, my kitty arwen. i will say no more than that though, cause i know everyone who spends any time with my mom and dad and i has heard more than they ever wanted to know.
so pizzzzzow! there's my summer update.
