SO its been far to long since i have blogged. Can you say about a month. I really need to stay caught up on this and start up with that blog challenge again. The truth is lately i have been really trying to live while i am here. I started to think about the meaning of life. Love God. Love people. I started to realized that i wasn't enjoying my life or the people around me i was stuck in a rut of wishing i knew what was next and wishing my life was better and hating it for being so miserable. So this past month i have taken a break and really tried to live my life... Gods glory is only revealed when we truly live our lives to the fullest. He can only work through us if we are happy with our lives and being with him in a relationship where ever we are.So as i sit here and eat chocolate chip pancakes and drink milk out of a whine glass i remember i am fully alive. I can smell summer in the air. Its a beautiful clear day with blue sky's. What are some of the things i have done to keep me "fully" alive you might ask.. let me tell you..
* I have enjoyed the sun, and our new kiddie pool, being outside and sucking in all of God creation while being comfortable in my skin in a swim suit hanging out.
