The summer is coming to a close, and today was my last day to spend with the kids. I'm going to miss them and all the quirky things they say(which I will continue to blog about for records sake). But I cannot express what a tremendous blessing my Cousin's family has been to me and how God has used this summer to grow me and bless me. It's so strange that after all he has given me I still ask for more. I ask for classes to take, tuition money to pay for the classes, and other things which arise in life. And how quickly I long for something specific and temporarily forget all which he has already bestowed upon me. It seems so perfect in my mind and it becomes hard for me to understand why it can't be that way. But I suppose that's the human way of thinking. Always pressing for something more, an agenda in our hand, some expectation we think has to be met. I simply ask that I am used by God every waking moment of my life. Shouldn't that be enough. Being a living testimony creates a full life alone and it should be enough for me. So I lift up praise to God for every moment I've relaxed this summer, every smile that has crossed my face, and for every challenge that has taught me to turn to him for guidance, strength, comfort, and most of all Love. I pray that God brings you peace and takes you on the greatest adventure of your life, running with him.
Your Sister in Christ,
