A Short Game Of "Catch-Up"

Life seems to be going by faster than I can keep track of. On June 15th I started working again (Thank You Jesus!) at Michael's Arts & Crafts. It's been a good thing for me, not without some challenges, but I am very grateful to have a job. I have to admit Berean has turned out to be a tough act to follow. I have come to learn that I was spoiled with co-workers that were friends; people that genuinely cared about me. I miss that. I love arts and crafts though so that makes it lots of fun :) I know that this job is a gift from God, I prayed that I would get it and I did. I have yet to figure out what His purpose is in placing me here. So for now I just want to be salt and light. Sometimes its a challenge ;) haha.

Last week my family and I had the pleasure of having some really good friends visit from up north. It was some much needed fun. It went by too fast, but it was really a great time :) That same week I said goodbye to my car. I wasn't sad about, more relieved than anything. It was kinda a mess... reason #823 I'm glad God is God and I'm not. I saw my car as beyond repair and worth more to me gone than in my possession exact opposite of how God sees us haha. Yes, thank you God for your grace! :) I wasn't incredibly attached to my car, not the way some people are at least. But it was my first car, and minus its constant mood swings, it was a great car. We had a good 4 years :)

Summer has just about reached its half-way point, and while I have complained about recent heatwaves I will miss it when its gone. I really love summertime. Working in retail again makes me feel like my year is gone already. Today we got our first shipment of Christmas product. And all the Fall product has been out for a few weeks already.

I just try to remind myself that my year is far from over. Being "busy" again gives me that much more motivation to always make time to take in the "small things". And I encourage you to do the same. :)
