Two Months

Can you guys believe that it's been two months since graduation and since we were all together for the last time? I miss you! The time has gone by so fast... summers always seem to fly by.

Just a few thoughts of reflection on things I have learned and observed since we left Master's:
- It's not easy to maintain a correct summer mentality.
- It's not always easy to get my books done on time for the Book Club! In fact I am still working on May and June's!... but catching up!
- I am surprised at times by my own wrongful and selfish responses to some of the people that I love most in the world. I shouldn't be surprised... Sin is evident in all areas, and is sometimes brought out at the strangest (or the most normal) of times.
- It is different to live with people who are one and two generations older than me after living with people all the same age at college. Good, but different. It is also different to go from being Head RA of Sweazy to being the youngest generation in the house. =)
- Sometimes it's harder to get things done when you're not on a busy schedule and under pressure.
- For two months I have been in limbo regarding next year. Today, two months after graduation, I found out for sure what I will be up to next year. The waiting time was a grace of God to me. He gave me these two months to trust Him, to bring me to a place of contentment regardless of the outcome. I am thankful for that. It's good to be able to leave the future in our Creator's hands.
- I am reminded of the continued need to fight to live for what's important and what's true and what is God-honoring. It's easy to be side-tracked. Victory tomorrow is gained by faithfulness today. Too often I forget that.

Well, those are just a few. I am continually thankful for you--my like-minded friends--for how your lives encourage my own.
