The summer is getting the best of me. I have had "write blog post" on my to-do list for weeks now. Finally- I can mark it checked! Here's a list to catch up. Inspiration taken from this blog. Side note: I just love the blogging community- the excitement I get when I click a bookmarked link and find a brand new, unread post is amusing even to me! So I sincerely want to say, thanks for reading ya'll.
Currently
loving...summer
days. Although it has been unusually warm for our area- I don't mind
the heat...all the more reason for pool days, glasses of Mama B's
sweet tea, cook outs with family and friends, countless juicy
watermelon wedges, and other fun summer past times.
Currently
reading...Nehemiah
along with the Bible Study guide by Kelly Minter. Confession: I never
read this Old Testament book before and its pretty inspiring. More
on that later.
Also reading The Book Thief. I'm finding it hard to get into but I've
heard good things about it so I'm persevering.
Currently
waiting for...peace....
understanding....confirmation. Seems like a never ending battle. But
I am believing that by pursuing peace God will graciously reveal His
plans in due time.
Currently
excited about...Kombucha-
a mushroom tea that some friends got us hooked on. We are actually
brewing it in our very own kitchen! Sounds a little sketchy-I know-
but pretty exciting when we get to pour a glass of immunity and
energy-boosting- fruit-infused tea whenever (seriously- we have
gallons of it!) we want!
Currently
missing...simpler
times. The days when the most of my worries was passing Chemistry
exams and whether or not I had enough gas money to get home for the
weekend. I admit- at the time those things were much bigger than life
to me. But now with more life experience under my belt I realize that
it only gets tougher.
Currently
trying...to
get back into shape. I have a tendency to put it off- and I do it
quite well! But my gym membership pass is on my keychain and it has
been staring me in the face and adding to my guilt. Not to mention my
lack of energy and motivation- all attributed to laziness!
Currently
working at...pursuing
God wholeheartedly. I want to know Him and be known by Him.
Currently
enjoying...spending
time with my hardworking husband. Unfortunately, his job requires him
to be outside in the scorching heat these days, and he comes home
exhausted. And both our vehicles have required his workmanship in the
garage the last month's worth of Saturdays. So when we get even a few
hours together- I cherish it. He's pretty amazing.
Currently
using...Aveda's
Pure Abundance shampoo. It is doing wonders for my hair that was a
having a “blah” sort of....year. Much healthier and I love the
pure, clean smell.
Currently
wearing...yoga
pants and a t-shirt. I have every intention of hitting the gym
today...at some point.
Currently
planning...a
girl's weekend getaway for the young adult ladies at our church. The
guys up and decided to take off and go to the lake without us. So we
are left to decide and plan something spectacular all on our own. I
think we'll manage.
Currently
singing...a
song by Needtobreathe called Garden. The chorus is literally the cry
of my heart (currently).
“Let the songs I sing bring joy to You, let the words I say confess
my love. Let the notes I choose be Your favorite tune. Father, let my
heart be after You.”
Currently
needing...affirmation
that I am enough and not too much all at the same time.
Currently
processing...The
film Father of Lights by Darren Wilson about the heart of God. It was
absolutely lifechanging. Truly a testimony of the awesoome power and
divine love of God from the very beginning to the very end.
Currently
wishing...I
had my very own KitchenAid to whip up a cheesecake for my sweet
husband when he gets home, among many other things on my “baking to
do list”. Some day...
Currently
doing...church-out
of the box. For the second year in a row- our church is spending 6
weeks of the summer in the heart of our city instead of inside the
four walls of our building. Singing praises to his name, blessing
little ones with goodies and a skit planned just for them, praying
for the sick, and serving a free meal and delicious sweet tea to
anyone who wishes to partake. Just being the body of Christ seeking
to bless our city.
Currently
praying for...cringe.
This is loaded- I'll give you the shortened-reader's digest version.
Asking forgiveness for complacency and not being fully faithful to my
God who is always faithful.
Currently
dreaming of...our
own home. Whether God has us in the city in a cute little apartment,
in the country where we can have a garden and raise chickens, or even
somewhere crazy and out of my comfort zone like in a foreign country
where we can serve and be the hands and feet of Jesus. Wherever it
is- we're ready for it. More than ready.
