Wow. Where did the last 3 1/2 months go?! I feel like just a week ago, I was pulling up to the house with all my junk from school packed up, feeling so overwhelmed and nervous about how the summer would turn out. This summer definitely was different than the ones past.
I am revisiting my goals for the summer:
1. Fall more in love with my Precious Savior (Which entails A LOT )
2. Spend time with my family
3. Learn how to cook well, sew, and clean.
3. Maintain a summer job
4. 30 day shred everyday
5. Get super involved in my home church
6. Counsel at teen leadership conference
1. Yes, I fell more in love my Precious Savior. I learned a lot about God and a lot about my selfishness. Thankfully I will never learn everything there is to know about God which will result in forever wanting to know more!
2. I spent a good amount of time with my family. Perhaps not enough, but I am glad to have been able to be home and go throughout "normal" life for awhile with them :)
3. I can sort of cook. Still don't know how to sew. And I'm not sure I have the cleaning thing down :p
4. I definitely didn't do the 30 day shred every day, but I joined weightwatchers and lost about 18 pounds so far. So I think I am satisfied with that!
5. I was definitely super involved at church. I worked as an apprentice, doing renovations in the church and evangelism. I also helped out in worship band and filled in for sunday school and vbs and church camp.
6. I didn't counsel at TLC, but I sang in the worship band, which was a WONDERFUL opportunity and VERY stretching. But I am so glad I was able to.
It's funny looking back at my goals and how things actually turned out. That's life though. Not everything we want to happen happens and well, things that we don't expect, happen. God is good. If there is one way I can sum of this summer, it is that God is good and never changes, even when everything in my life seems to be.
So I'm a junior. What?
I feel like I should still be in highschool, but in less than 5 days I begin my junior year of college. Here is to a new school year. New lessons. New friends (and old :P). New challenges. But the same God. Who could ask for more?
