These days.

These days, I am reading.
Currently Reading: "A Legacy of Grace" by Francine Rivers. It's about the women listed in the lineage of Christ (Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheba and Mary). And it is beautiful. Women has a novella that represents conversations, thoughts and reactions the might have occurred in the five lives of these women. Its convicting and beautiful. I love learning about how the Lord uses broken people to do extraordinary things.

These days, I am learning.
At Covenant's graduation last weekend, my friend Hannah spoke and shared some of the wisest words I've ever heard: " Success is not being perfect, but being a glorious imperfection in the kingdom of God."
I would love for my life to reflect this.

These days, I am preparing.
In a few short weeks I will pack my trunk, dawn my sneakers and t-shirts and return to my favorite cabin in the woods. Camp Westminster is calling me in many ways. And I am preparing for Camp in many ways. 1. Bible Studies 2. Arts and Crafts. 3.Surviving the heat. 4. Making sure I can swim across the deep end. 5. Games. Lots of games.

These days, I am resting.
But not resting well. I am always antsy, always itching to go and do. My mind doesn't stop, and my feet always tap. I have plenty to do, and not enough to do - all at the same time. I need to learn to be still. Psalm 45:10 is often skipped over in my reading.
