Do you ever have questions without answers? You know, those questions that make you stop dead in your tracks? I do. And I've been having a few of those lately.
About what? You may ask. Well, that's not going to be revealed. Just questions. Questions that eat away at me…that fill my thoughts, dreams, and days. Questions that I try to find answers for…but no answers can be found just yet. These questions take time. TIME. Ugh. Sometimes it feels like a horrible 4 letter word that never seems to fade. Well, it does NOT fade because it's time…and time just continues to go…even when you desire it to stop or pause or fade, or become less prominent. It's always there. Constant. Steady. It comes and it goes, and it is present. Always present. Our whole lives, we'll live with time. In a way, it's comforting, but not when you want to pause and think, and ponder, and consider. And you want to do all those things in a safe space, where nothing else can occur to mess up the current progression of thoughts. Am I making any sense, here?
Do any of you have these times or seasons in your life? Where things arise and you just want TIME to stop. So, you can regroup, figure it out, and move ahead with confidence, knowing that this is the right next step. I sure hope so. Maybe comment and let me know.
What else?
Well, it's summertime here. And most places, really. I've never really had good summers in my day. But this has been a good summer. A great one, really. I have a wonderful boyfriend who I'm seeing. I was able to go to Kansas and visit my family, which was wonderful. I'm missing my nieces a LOT about now. I've done some fun stuff this summer. One of my best girlfriends came to visit me in DC, and we had a lot of fun exploring the City and just enjoying spending time with one another.
Oh! And this past Friday I got to see one of my all time favorite people in whole world – LynAnne Weist. She's pretty great. If you don't know her, you should. She's an excellent friend, and I love her so! Anywho – she's back from being out of the country for a year…and she's in Pennsylvania. Yup, that's right – good 'ole PA. But only for a week. So last Friday, I rented a car and drove down to spend a few hours of goodness with her. It was great. Really great. I got home at an insanely late time in the morning, but it was SO worth it. I would do it again in a heartbeat. So, that was pretty awesome. Another great part of the summer.
And for the most part, the weather has been decent. Last week is an exception, but other than that – much milder than last summer. By far! Oh – I am going to the beach in a few weeks, and I'm SUPER stoked about that. And I have a new job that's gonna be pretty exciting and worthwhile. Plus, it pays better, which is a bonus. Hopefully, that means I'll be able to purchase a car in October. Well, sometime this fall, at least. That will make life a thousand times easier.
That's all for now. Questions….and summertime. Yup. That's where I'm at. And I'm choosing to trust God with all those silly questions. That makes it a bit better. Cuz He knows the answers and knows what's best for me – now and always. So, I will trust and continue to put myself in a place of rest and submission to His will…not mine. Until next time, continue to follow Christ faithfully, dear ones. You will be loved.
