Three Weeks...

July 10th! Are you serious??
I think I ask myself that every day! I realized this morning that it being Monday, July 10th today means that I have exactly three weeks left at Capernwray Harbour! Not that two years is really all that long... but it has been such a significant two years... and a two years I intended to last only 9 months! But alas God had other plans, and it has been perfect.

Summer is cru-zing by... and has been SO full. Time has felt speedy... that is true, but there have been many memorable and meaningful times in its midst, and I am thankful. I'm thankful for the people God's placed here that continuously point me to Him and have proved to be great friends, thankful for His refinement in times of great sorrow, thankful for His refreshment and encouragement in times of reunion, the impeccable beauty of new life, and mostly just thankful that the TRUTH about my God stays the same... ALWAYS. Nothing that happens changes who He is, or changed how He sees us! My perspective may change, and it constantly is... but He is faithful until the end. And it isn't the end just yet, and I intend to walk on in confidence.

I had a wonderful afternoon with the Jensen kid's today... and am trying to fill and enjoy every moment left here! I got my best score yet on frisbee golf tonight... only 6 over par... so that's a wopping 32!
Three Hills in three weeks. Sounds great. I do love those hills... and greatly anticipate many good things during the weeks there!

It seems like every moment these days is filled with some intense emotion... extreme excitement for what is around the corner... grief over leaving behind all I know and love dearly, both at home and here... and well every other silly emotion out there! I am glad that He holds it all and controls it all! Thank goodness! Will life always be full of this great extent of mixed emotion? Maybe... but I guess that could be okay too... all I've gotta face now is today...
