At the beginning of the summer I was told that July just seems to drag on and not much goes on besides worship at Redeemer. While that may be correct, I still have found myself quite busy in the past month. I've gone from Campfirmation, VBS, LCY convention, to July 4th festivities, mom visiting, birthday festivities, LCY Camp Bridge Building, more birthday festivities, Terrific Tuesdays, and Redeemer Rambler Day Trips.
I've met lots of new people and have tried to keep connections going with those of the past. I'm sad that I couldn't be with those who have celebrated various occasions out of state this summer, but am thankful for technology that enables us to keep in touch.. and am thankful for the times of being able to visit with past friends even though I can't travel that much right now.
I am especially looking forward to seeing my lovely niece, Abigail, at the end of this month. From what my sister has shared, she is getting SOOOO big (and of course, pictures and video does not do it justice.. I need to see her IN PERSON)!
Yet, even in the busyness there is still times of stillness and rest.. from visiting Murrell's Inlet/Garden City beach, to sitting on a boat or a floaty in lake murray or picking blueberries with a slight breeze drifting in the air on a 100 degree day, I've managed to take time for myself. I hope that I am able to continue as weekends will quickly fill up with sports games and events during the fall.
I'm thankful for all those who support me, pray for or with me, and just generally can endure my crazyness throughout times of transition. Love Y'all!
