Lazy summer.

This blog is proof of what the summer can do to someone. This summer has definitely been a relaxing one. No homework, no worrying about school, working, being with family, & friends...all of this has become quite a distraction this summer. It all distracted me away from what I wanted to do: spend more time getting to know myself. I really thought this summer would be a good one for me to think about where I want to go in life. I thought I could make this summer be a memorable one in that way but it surely hasn't happened.

This summer has definitely had its ups and downs; discouraging and encouraging moments. Through all of that, I lost sight of what I wanted to do. I tend to only come to God when things get hard. When that happened this summer, it wasn't until then that I realized how out of wack I had gotten. I was writing in my journal and it had been close to a month of not talking to God and spending time with Him like I would normally do. It really was a slap across the face moment; a time to realize how helpful God can be in the best and worst of moments.

As the summer comes to a close, I am really looking forward to going back to school. I'm ready to grow up some more and see what God has in store for me through the people in Bellingham. It's not until I come home that I really appreciate how much I love it up in Bellingham and how much I enjoy spending time with my friends. I'm also looking forward to the new classes I'm going to take and the breath of fresh air that I will get in the fall.
