Rest Period

Do you ever think back when you were a child and remember about summer time.

One vivid memory sticks out. Riding, walking, or driving to Fain Pool. That's right....Fain Pool of all the wichitans reading this here blog!

Fain Pool is where i spent the summers, if i wasn't at home, camps, church, on vaycay!! Fain Pool is where it was at! Most of my friends from school had memberships and we all would play and swim and eat junk food together. I had my birthday party there at least 3 times!!

Do you remember rest period? This was when the lifeguards(who were always so cute and the dream of one day being a fain pool lifeguard was on everyone's mind!!) would blow their whistles and yell.....REST PERIOD!!

I wish sometimes we could live those days of resting, because our bodies need it!!

and guess what??? That is what i will be doing this evening!! Resting this tired body!! I hope that you have time to rest.

22 more days!!
SHECK

OMG!!!

My how time goes passing by!!! On a scale from 1 - 10 how would you rate your crazy life? Yes, I said it, your crazy life. I mean, i think everyone has crazy moments, times, days, months, etc in their life.

For me, i would have to answer about an 8. Why?

1. There are 24 more days until I walk across a stage with people telling me i have completed all the requriements for a Master's Degree!! Crazy

2. There are 5 more days until my brother and niece's birthday!! Awesome

3. There are 43 more days until I leave on a Jet plane to TEXAS!! Crazy

4. There are 46 more days until my brother gets married!! CRAZY (did i mention i have a brother and that he's younger than me??) whatevs!!

5. My friends are having life changing situations in thier lives that are amazing and "once in a lifetime" type of situations!! Crazy

ok, that is enough crazies for one day!! Ha!!

Take time today to sit and rest in the LORD, for He is our Refuge and Strength!

Love,
Sara

Tic Toc Tic Toc

The day is such a beautiful one!! I was able to play some volleyball with a bunch of friends this afternoon!

It's funny how some things feel like they drag on and on, but when you are not thinking of time...it seems as though it's only but a couple of minutes ago you were just starting the activity you so enjoy doing.

As I write each day I feel the the first emotion that time is moving so slowly. 27 days feels in one sense so close...thinking about how much needs to get done before then etc, but also, it feels like it will never get here!
"Senioritis?" maybe, but i do know that motivation for seeking the "what's next" for my life is overwhelming me...when you think of me(whenever, or if ever that may be...please just say a prayer for direction and guidance. I know the Lord has something special lined up, but i would like to know now instead of later.tic toc, tic toc....

Thanks for reading, and listening to my heart.

Oh...btw...the trip to South Korea is a no go. The cost was to high for me to be able to be gone that long of a time. It's totally fine, i'm not distraught or bummed about it. I do have things to focus on for my summer here and for my church!! ok..i'm rambling. Continue to have a wonderful weekend.

Today is the first Giants game i will be going to! It just so happens to be that they are giving away "wearable blankets!!" They are sponsored by Fanta so these blankets from pictures i have seen are orange with the Giants logo all over them!!

I am so excited to see if i am able to get one of these wearable blankets!! The game starts at 7:15 tonight. I'm leaving with friend Sarah Wiemero at 4:30 to see if we will be among the 19,998 other people to receive a "wearable blanket!!"

Didn't think I would ever be so excited about a snuggie, but alas i am. as noted in an earlier post..i will post pictures as soon as possible!

Keeping Track

What can i say??? I am horrible at even trying to keep a blog for 46 days!! I do feel bad at breaking my own challenge to myself.

It just goes to show how imperfect i am.

Tomorrow is Wearable blanket night at the SF Giants baseball game! Me and two others are going for a chance to get our wearable blankets that should be outrageously awesome!! When i get one and get pictures of us in them i will definitely post one to the blog!

Have a wonderful day.

A prayer of reflection:

Psalm 19:14 "Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O LORD, my rock and my Redeemer."

btw:29 days

Burning the Candle

Do you ever stop to think you are in over your head. Committ to things you know you shouldn't but because of the way it appeals to your fleshly desires you say "Yes, I will do that?"

Well, i'm in a bit of a conumdrum!! I like others i know double book myself with activities on top of activities.

My selfish, it's all about me nature says...what's there to worry about, you can do both!! My body/spirit/soul tells me..."Heck, your body can handle it, but we reccomend that you don't do this.."

What voice am I going to listen to? Will I feel ashamed if I do the things I want? Will i pay for it later? Is this even what's going on? What Choice are you going to make? What about the people involved? Are they going to trust you? Will you let them down? Is it ok to be "late" to the next event?

Maybe this flood of questions has sometime gone through your thoughts as you contemplate what to do in your double booking times...

Is this a good vs. bad situation? Is this the H.S's way of telling me to stop burning the candle at both ends? Am I telling myself i need to choose a side?

Wow....What a challenge....Something we should all think about as we try to make sure our heart, soul, and mind are ready to work for the Glory of God.

P.S. sorry no posts sunday or yesterday. but there are only 31 more days until I graduate!! So exciting.

Write to you later!!
