lost in the jungle of summer

Between school school and church, life has been tumbled about.
I would not change a thing, I have enjoyed even the hard points.
I do wish I had taken a minute or two to rest, but I will do it when I am older and can not walk any longer ( teehee).
I was reminded of an awesome song that talks about this today by Laura Story

"Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears?
And what if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You’re near?"

I think sometimes it is easiest to go to God in the tough points of the day and pour out our complaints only- but we need to remember to be thankful in those moments TOO because we are learning and growing from them just as well as the happy times.
When ever a hard point arrives I try to remember to hug it and say, " If God brings us to it, He will bring us through it!"

I have really taken this to heart recently because I had been struggling with accepting an offer I had recieved for a job when I knew it may close doors for my husband. Praise the Lord two days after my official offer from the BIG BOSS, I found a posting that would allow my husband and I to stay in San Antonio and both have our dream jobs. Last night his door opened and we are getting prepared to walk though it together : ) Sunday we will visit the church he will serve as youth minister.

Our journey is just beginging and I am happy that I have great people around us to enjoy it with.

till the next blessing,
A

LIFE: Camp

I have had an awful lot of un published blogs lately. These blogs come from deep routed feelings that have surfaced this year due to one thing or another. Maybe some day these blogs will be unearthed but for today, this blog needed to be written while it was still raw.  I have very vague memories of third or forth grade summer camp at Alto Frio, where I met Nana Pudding ( a christian puppet) and went pogging for the first time in a river. Summer after sixth grade,  I got in church vans and headed to Louisiana for the first time to attend Student Life Camp, then proceeded to go to Angelo State University and Glorieta New Mexico a few times. I spent time serving during spring breaks at Riverbend Retreat Center which lead to an internship over the summer. The week that "Curtis" and I first really got to know each other, we were at Glorieta for Centrifuge camp.  Camp is a special place for me. Camp is a happy place for me.  In 2018, I was able to experience camp through ...

first day of "summer"

On this the first day of Summer at work, I find myself reflecting on the past "year". The kiddos are twice the size they were last "year" and I am still working towards my same goals. - God's plan which may or may not include the things below this line - School - Weight Loss - Running - Reading I did do myself a favor last night, the last night of my break from school because summer school started today, and finished a really great book I think I started at Christmas. I was only ever able to read it in the car and we have not done many long trips this year. The book was "Unlikely Disciple " by Kevin Roose and I highly recommend it. It is about a non christian student from a secular school doing their study abroad at Liberty University. I am glad I chose to read this and not some girl falls in love book. I was completely satisfied with the choice. I think that God showed Curtis this book for me because I came from the same kind of household/family/back...
