Sometimes things start going so fast that you forget about all the litle things that your supposed to do and then things unravel. May was just a crappy month for me. It shouldn't have been. I had so much to be thankful for, and so many wonderful things happened in my life. But I began to try and do things myself again, and lost sight of the peace of Christ that I was resting in. I sunk into the "I'm not good enough" or "no one likes me" mindset again and got lost in my thoughts.
But, I graduated and walked out of that high school and didnt look back. It was refreshing. I was out of town the first week of summer and that was just so awesome. My youth choir went to Columbia, South Carolina and shared the love of Christ with a diverse crowd of people. From inmates at a juvenile detention center to those residing in a homeless shelter, we shared the love of Christ. I can home feeling extremely blessed.
I guess you could say I took the month of June off? I've tried to be alone as little as possible and spend as much time as I can with my family. And when I am alone, I strive to be journaling or in the Word instead of on social media. I deleted the people and the sites I didn't need and the things that brought me down, and focused on Christ. I desire to rest in His peace. It's been a good month. But that's what a mind set on Jesus can do for you.
July should be interesting. I am going to be a camp counselor for 5 eight year old girls the week of the 13th! I couldn't be more excited about that. Family vacation is the week prior to that, and it's a beach trip. My favorite. :)
I apologize that this was so lengthy, I just felt like I needed to update since I've been slackin' on posting. It's one of my goals to post more, especially since classes for college will be starting in Mid-August!
So, yay for summer and the good things that come with this great season.
