Simple Summer

I am a very goal oriented person.
I like to write it down, scratch it off, and soak in the feeling of accomplishment.
I need goals.

However, this summer, I feel it is going to be a simple summer.
This summer will consist of:

-reading a huge stack of books that have been sitting on the side of my bed for some time. One in particular is called Radical by David Platt. I know this book will probably have a dramatic effect on my life and maybe that is why I have consistently put it off.

-write, write, write. I don't know how or what that will look like, but its a simple goal.

-seek direction for my life. After taking 24 hours of college this spring, my life has gone from a complete rush to utter silence. I feel as though I do not know what to do with myself. And I feel as though I don't where I am going in the next year to come.


If you would have asked me two years ago where I thought I would be, I wouldn't have pictured my life right now. Tulsa, ORU or being a Special Education Teacher was never in the plan. However, the goodness of the Lord has never been so real to me. My heart has drawn so near because of the uncertainty of direction in my life. And I have never been more grounded in Him.

Here's to a simple summer; more of Him, less of me.
