Just writing the title makes me think of high school and those essays we used to write at the beginning of the school year on what we did over the summer.

My essays were always a struggle for me, trying to find something cool to write about. The truth was most of my summers were boring and sad. I didn't have friends wanting to play with me. My family wasn't really interested in spending time with me. I was usually alone. Sometimes we did get to go to the beach and visit my grandparents and cousins. I usually ended up writing about that.

Well I've been blessed since college and in my marriage to always seem to have interesting things going on! Sometimes those things aren't particularly fun - like a couple summers ago when I was pregnant with Anna and was a frequent visitor at the hospital. Other times I've done lots of neat things like vacations and field trips. This summer has been a great time of learning more about myself and what it means to reach out to others without fear and with confidence...2 of the big things I struggle with the most.

God is growing me, stretching me and always sustaining me, even when I don't realize it. His grace is amazing! I can't wait to tell y'all all about the things that have been going on!
