summer

This is my first summer in the states since college.  I must say I haven't had a summer vacation in a long time.  It's nice being able to wake up, run, read the word, drink coffee, type a blog, paint, sit by a pool, hang out with O, and work the diner.  That's my summer.  It's amazing.  3 days off a week!!  I don't get three days off in a month. So, no good jungle stories this summer.  But, I do think something big is going to happen.  Don't know what but something.  Either in my life or in the life of someone close to me.  Because my big question has been why am I not in Costa?  Why am I here?  I don't know if I will get one answer.  I will say God is at work.  My prayer has been Lord work in me so I can work in them.  I have so many relationships that I am building with people who are open to something, who are searching for something, who are ready.  For example, I wait table at a diner and the other day one of my customers and I were conversing when we got on the subject of who God is and how he sees us.  Well, let me say this scares me to death.  Sometimes I get to this point where I wonder what to say next, how to act.  So I have to stay in tune to the spirit and how the spirit is speaking to me.
I am still praying for my Greek family!  Lord, is that why I'm in Concord?  Maybe!
Granted I'm not in a foreign land serving for Jesus but I will say I believe my service here this summer is going to impact my lives than I know.  So this is my prayer, Lord keep me focused, keep my grounded, keep me in you and you in me!  And in the school year when I am slammed busy, I feel as though I don't keep this focus. God is so Great.  He is moving.  Watch out world!  Watch out Concord!
