Yesterday, MG and I went to Cary Woods to visit our 2nd grade friends. Boy, were they hyped up! It was such a beautiful day so we decided to eat lunch outside.
As you can see, Camryn is a total goof-ball. She could talk to a wall and that's what I love about her. You can tell she had a great heart and really cares about others. If someone walks by that she knows, she will not pass up an opportunity to say hi to them. She will stop and have a 5 minute conversation with them. I think she's pretty great.
Sweet MG brought the girls flowers today; it just made their day!
On another note, lately I have been struggling with having a peace about things. I constantly am giving my struggles to the Lord, then taking them right back. Is it just me or is it hard to offer up a part of yourself that is so close to you? I once heard that "Our hands cannot do the work of God as easily closed as when they are open." Isn't this so true? We cling to things because were afraid of what it would be like without them. Feelings, emotions, objects, relationships, etc. I hold onto the things that make me feel miserable sometimes just because it's what I know. Satan knows exactly where to hit me the hardest, and most of the time, I let him. Why give in to this temptation? It will just make me feel miserable; why? I think it's because I have not given the problem/person/situation to God. I cannot solve anything on my own, I have definitely learned that. I am so weak without Him. Lately, I just need to trust that my life is in his hands and that He has a plan for me. So often, I forget that awesome verse: Jeremiah 29:11, "For I KNOW the plans I have for you, DECLARES the Lord. (I love how He declares it; He doesn't just merely say it, but he declares it.) Plans to prosper you and not to harm you; plans to give you HOPE and a FUTURE." He says it right there, why can I not believe it sometimes? Find rest, Oh my soul, in the Lord alone.
