Happy First Day of Summer!

Warmest, fondest wishes of the First Day of Summer to any sundry passerby who happens to note my once-again-neglected-blog. :)
Time is a funny thing...it speeds past yet somehow seems to slowly meander all in the same moment.
Friday, June 20, 2008 finds me perched on a couch in a suburb of Denver, Colorado with a spectacular view of the Rocky Mountains out the back window.
In this past month since graduating Northland for the second time and trying to be all grown up I have made some startling realizations...
I'm very close to being addicted to little Debbie Swiss Cake Rolls.
I was not made to walk in high heels--ever.
The Vast majority of my friends are either engaged, married, or being fruitful and multiplying.
I have some odd pet peeves (one of them being false drawers.)
Road tripping is a favorite pastime.
Dodging deer, potholes, turkeys, and snowdrifts for my whole driving career was ill preparation for 3 lane traffic, blaring car horns, and merging lanes.

And in the midst of these discoveries, more importantly, is the incredible power of the Word of God. My counseling internship has brought me to many observation sessions that have left me both sad because of the devastation and utter destruction of sin, and grounded in Truth--the only Truth. There is nothing more exciting than seeing someone's life changing before your eyes as they begin to see that God is Who He says He is.
So. Happy First Day of Summer to all....may it be the start of seeing more of His grace.

And may it be the start of seeing more posts from you! :) I found your blog through a link on Jesse's page, and have been enjoying reading through your past posts.
Since it seems to be my last left 'link' with your world, I'd enjoy reading more :)
Anyway, hope you are doing well! Sounds like your life is busy yet fulfilling.

rach -
debbie swiss cake rolls are probably not the best things to be addicted to.
high heels - well that was obvious.
i am not being fruitful, so don't worry.
and false drawers are very irritating.

Glad you have resurfaced in the blogosphere, after a short absence. :)
