Wow... it's June. We're almost 1/2 way through 2010. Time really does fly the older you get. Grandma, you were right.
This has been a year of change for me so far. Brian and I teach the College/Career class at our church... we love the young adults so much. Who knew that they would bless our hearts as much as they do.... God sure did. We are entering into our 2nd year of teaching... and loving it. This has kinda pushed Brian out of his box... but God has a way of doing that.
I've had personal struggles this year.... old insecurities that hadn't been dealt with, past memories not laid to rest. So, I read Beth Moore's "So Long Insecurity"... that was the beginning of a whole new journey for me. After I pinpointed where my insecurities came from... I was able to deal with them... and allow God to take them from me. God is so good!
Austin... well, he turns 13 in a few months. I love my boy. He has a heart of gold, and a desire to learn more... about everything. He's all boy though. He enters junior high... for him.. it's growing up... for me.. it's a new chapter in our life. All the sudden it's not "cool" to kiss mom goodbye in the drop off lane at school. While Austin was ready for this... I was not! LOL! It all happened overnight. I'm proud of him though.
Austin and I will venture out to Chicago this next week on a mission trip. He will be working construction and evangalism, I will be cooking meals with a very dear sister of mine. It's all in an effort to share the love of God and win souls to His kingdom.
Our summer is filled with many activities and events and before you know it we'll be bringing in another year. My goal for July/August... to slow down and enjoy this ride called life. How about you?
