Sunshine!
So, it’s June, the sun is out…and that makes me so happy.
As the week is winding down and I’m getting close to a 4 day weekend for the 4th of July…I’m so excited to have a few extra days to rest and embark on new adventures. My life right now seems so busy and yet I like the pace…always something to do. I get to make my schedule though, so if I want to go to the grocery store, I go to the grocery store. If I wanna try a new beach, or restaurant…it’s nice to just do that. And yes, this may seem so trivial to some, but it’s one of those small things that I enjoy now that I’m an “adult” (like I’m really grown up suddenly or something).
I think most of my recent “joy” in being independent actually has nothing to to with being independent at all. The past few weeks have been a time of adjustment for me…well the past few months I guess. I moved here to Seattle in January from Georgia, away from my family I’m VERY close with. That’s 3,000 miles away from everything I’ve ever known. In the past few weeks, my boyfriend, who lives here in Seattle, began a very intense and time consuming part of his job…limiting our time together to Friday evenings, Saturdays and Sunday church. (not necessarily all three either) We don’t talk much during the week, if ever, MAYBE a few texts or an email.
God has brought me to a place where, do doubt my family, friends, and sigother are there for me…but in my solitude, I’m brought to true dependence on Christ and Christ alone.
I enjoy doing my own thing mostly because God’s been faithful in bringing me to a place that EVERYTHING I DO…He is with me. He may not necessarily agree with it…but He suffers through the bad, laughs in the joyful, and rests in the peaceful…with me.
His presence is CONSTANT…I just needed to recognize His desire to be not only a part of my life, but to be my life.
As this crazy week of the Early Bird Deadline for the Aglow International Conference in Louisville, KY comes to a close…I’m excited to live Christ and come back refreshed, renewed, and ready to continue in my endeavors to gain support and attendees for the conference. I’ve never been to an Aglow conference, but I’ve heard they’re completely different than anything I’ve experienced before.
So here’s to conference and to Aglow…may our prayers uplift, may our convictions strengthen, and may our God be at the center of it all!
