the journey

Wow, it has been a long time.  Sometimes life just takes over and it's all a girl can do to hang on, you know?  And sometimes everything seems impossible and confusing and frustrating and God just brings it all together perfectly, in ways that a girl could never have put together herself, but it still manages to be exactly what she wanted, she just hadn't believed it to be possible.  And sometimes it goes by so quickly, sometimes it's so exhausting, sometimes it feels like there isn't even time to breathe... that she forgets the journey.

Because that's what it's about, isn't it?   It's about the journey; the steps, the days, the breaths, the thoughts, the fears, the needs, the worries, the triumphs, the joys, the tears, the questions, the pains, the bruises, the excitement, the anticipation, the nerves, the sights.  Everything.

Work is ending in a few days, for a few months at least, and after the longest work week of my life (ten days) it is a most blessed relief.  Then it's the second and final weekend of the dance show, which I'm excited about, it's been a ball to be apart of.  And Sunday night I'm off to camp.  That's right, I'm gonna be counseling at a summer camp for all of June, July, and part of August!  And after that?  We'll just have to wait and see, for now, I'm trying to embrace each day and remain grateful that I know where I'll be for the next two months.  God is good.

Blessings to you all... enjoy the journey,
