My week off

Last week was wonderful I got to 
-spend 2 days with my grandparents and cousins
-go to the movies
-hang with my little bros
-hang with my high school pals
-go camping
-go water skiing
-go to a great baseball game
-and ate a ton of really good b-b-que
Most importantly I got to spend a lot of time outside. God spoke to me as I looked out over the calm lake and said "just be."  after taking 18 hours this semester I was in go mode all the time.  I wanted to talk to God but he wasn't responding fast enough, or teaching me anything, and I didnt have time for that.  But then God said to "just be with him" and everything changed.  I was hungry for time with God and I couldn't find it until I stopped moving at 100 mph and just hung with God and let him make the agenda.  He spoke to me through the lightning bugs, the sweet summer night air, the numerous colorful birds, the sun, the damp forest and new baby kittens.   He reassured me that He was there, all around, and he was breathing life into me.  
  I loved getting to spend time with so many friends, but I'm also glad to be back in springfield taking it slow, spending time reading my Bible and serving at FBC. God is awesome.
