Yesterday marked the beginning of my last week of summer at home. I found myself thinking about the days behind and the days ahead. The summer has been a roller coaster ride with exciting surprises along the way. Some of the best memories were my trip to TN with Ashlin, dress shopping with Lauren for her wedding, The family picnic, Pool time with the family, girls night with the youth girls and some awesome times with my Church family. This summer relationships were strengthened and new ones formed, which is exciting. However, that always makes leaving all the harder. God did a lot in my heart this summer, which was MUCH needed. I feel like I definitely crossed a threshhold. You know how you buy a CD and you have your favorite songs and usually skip the ones that aren't your favorite and eventually go back to them? Well, I happen to love those times because that usually means that the song I skipped is needed for a particular time in my life. That happened today. I was listening to John Mark Mcmillan's "Philadelphia." From first glance the song seems to have no relation to my life but somehow today it just struck me to my core. Especially the line:
Your never gonna run away
From what your hanging round your head
And I'm never gonna run away
From what you said.
I can't really explain other than to say that every good thing God has done this summer..every word he has spoken and every gift he has given me..every relationship..I will take with me. Tonight, That is what I rest on.
So in this next week I will do my best to follow the wise words of John Eldredge: "Do sieze what you can of summer joy before the rush of the fall demands swallows you up in its momentum."
