Still Here

The summer is still here for me. I have two weeks left, but everyone--I mean Mitch--is back in school. Oh, what to do! I haven't knocked off much from my tiny list of things I wanted to accomplish. Let's make these last, two weeks count for something!

1. Day Trips or Mini Vacay
2. More DLand Time
3. LA County Fair
4. Beach Days
5. Important Errands

As always, there are so many other things I want to do before school starts! Once this quarter begins, I won't have time for much, if anything. However, God has mos def blessed me with a wonderful summer. A phrase that would have to sum it up would be relational growth--pictures portray it better.

The Baby

The Older Baby

The Shoppes

The Newport Beach

The Newport Beach, too

The Parents

There was so much fun to be had, that I honestly forgot to take pictures. What a lame excuse to not have taken any, but it is the honest truth!

Understand It

It is difficult for me to comprehend what just happened. It was a simple question that required a simple answer. How was I to know it was going to cause a much deeper conversation!? I am quite unsure how to go about things right now, for I am still a bit flustered by this situation.

What does God want me to know? Maybe He wants me to know that I need to delight myself in Him and His will. Maybe He wants me to step out of my comfort zone to serve others. Maybe He wants to teach me how to love and have a thankful heart in all situations.

Note to self: Understand Romans 8:28, especially the all things part. I suppose I can throw in 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, and be mindful of keywords such as: always, continually, and all things.

Sweatshop

I have two jobs, the bartending gig and the sweatshop. Maybe I shouldn't call it that, but it feels like it sometimes! Kidding. Take a look-see at the products of our labor, I dare you.

Start

It's the start of something new. Something a little crafty. Something with my cousin. You'll see--soon enough.

AND I've started training for that (half) marathon on Saturday! Noreen picked me up just before seven in the morning, and we met up with a whole bunch of other walkers and runners. It felt so good to run in the morning, especially with a partner!

Everyone has started school, except me! I feel so left behind, but I'm glad I have roughly three weeks left of summer vacation. Busy, busy, busy!

Pleasure

I find pleasure in the Lord and how He works in my family. The Lord is soo gracious to grant us understanding, growth, and other good stuffs--stuffs like this.

Uh, you get the point. Don't judge, it's for my mom.
