Hola amigos! Summer is almost gone! Tomorrow, July begins. How crazy is that? It's already July. The countdown to school beginning is on. I'm a nerd, so yes, I am excited about this countdown :) I love buying school supplies and this year will be unlike any other start of school for me. This year, for the first time ever, I will be starting school as a teacher and not as a student. I was pretty good at being a student. I hope I'm half as good at being a teacher! (Thankfully, it's Kindergarten and they don't have anything to compare me to yet :) )
To celebrate the start of teaching and the end of summer, I get to go to the beach with Kevin and his family. We are leaving Nashville tomorrow to go to Atlanta for the night, go to Spartanburg on Saturday morning, and then be at the beach Saturday night! I'm so excited to get away for a while. I like my apartment but since the babysitting business has been slow this week, I'm ready to get away and have some fun! I'm hoping to see Oma and Opa Friday night and my parents for a few minutes Saturday morning but plans are still in the works.
On that note, one thing I'm learning to be very good at is not being able to plan ahead. I have to be patient and let things come as they may. The control freak in me is fighting this lesson every step of the way :) But since waiting has now taken over in absolutely every area of my life, I think God is trying to drive the point home. He's telling me to take a step back and quit trying to rush things; everything will work out the way He has planned. Fortunately for me, His planning trumps my feeble attempts and will always work out better. So I say, "Go ahead please! I will be patient."
I'm sure there are others of you who are dealing with the same issue of having to wait around for something and I encourage you to be patient. Yes, it is no fun when you want to know how and when things will work out, but it's better to let go and let God. :)
Enjoy the holiday weekend and I'll write more after our trip to the beach!
