Thoughts of Lately

          I live in Kansas, and no, that doesn't mean I own a pair of sparkly red shoes{even though I wished that I did}. I spend most days in my athletic shorts and a t-shirt. I eat way too much sugar and it is quite a bad habit. I do not use amazing vocabulary when I post or when I speak. Sometimes I can be selfish and let out a groan or complaint when I have to work around the house. I get overly excited about the little things of life, I have been that way since I was little.

 I am one of the most forgetful humans, or is it that I am  a terrible listener at times? I sometimes spend a little too much time on the computer. I have the most amazing family ever that I couldn't live a day without.  I am the worst cook ever{I never fail to burn whatever I am cooking}. I am completely in love with the Lord. I get jealous of the bloggers with a lot of followers and how they write so beautifully. I don't live in some magnificently large house, but rather I live in an adorable little blue house.  It is not that I don't have time to post, it is that I choose not to post  because sometimes I lose my words.

 And most of the time I am learning that life on earth will never be perfect.  We were created for another world, heaven.  So we long for heaven on earth.  It will never be that.  There are moments it feels like heaven but most of the time our hearts just keep longing for more....heaven, of course.  Ultimately we long for our God.

        In the mean time, the Lord works on my heart daily, and I have been really thinking about how He never fails to provide for us. Sometimes we want things, and when we don't receive them we don't think God is providing. But the Lord isn't always going to give us what we want, he is always going to give us what we need. When he does give us something we want, or have been praying and hoping for that is a huge blessing. I am learning to be content. 


         I will be leaving for a camp in Arkansas on Sunday, I am more than excited--my dad gets the opportunity to be the speaker there, which I am really excited about.  I will be escaping from the computer and my cell phone, and instead breathing in the outdoors, going hiking, getting the guts to go caving, cherishing every moment and memory I make and praising the Lord with friends. Oh, and obviously capturing every one of these moments on camera. 






  I hope ya'll are having a lovely summer.
