Sunshine and Water

Thank you God for the sunshine and for the water. It's beautiful.

I recently told someone that I thought God made 3/4 of the earth water because He knew that was the best thing He has ever created on eart. It's so great, he wanted to give us a TON of it. and I LOVE IT.

As we speak I'm laying by the pool at my house...basking in the sun. (praise baby Jesus for wireless inernet and laptops)

attempting a sun tan...maybe even a burn if I'm lucky.

(no worries my sun burns always go away in a matter of hours and turn brown).

I love being outside.

Exspecially when there is a pool or large body of water around me (a lake or ocean).

It's exhilirating...
intoxicating...
mindboggling...
refreshing...
peaceful...
tranquil...
and even straight up fun.

There's something about being in the sun and by a pool that almost makes me fall in love with Jesus even more.

Maybe I'm weird, but it draws me closer to Him.

It's inspires me. Makes me want to be a better person.

It brings joy to me... it makes me happy. And it makes me what to make other happy too. Makes me smile...and laugh...and just reminds me how great life truly is.

It's the times when it's quiet and you can hear the quiet sound of the water just splishing together or moving around that makes me reflect on my life. I'm so blessed and privelege.

I have parents who would give me anything under their abilities to make me happy. Who love me no matter what...

I have an incredible boyfriend who adores me and cherishes me...who loves me inside and out...who would die for me...who will protect me no matter the cost.

I have beautiful friends who bring joy to my life...who make me smile...make me laugh...and even make me cry all at the same time. They're precious to me...

I have the privelege to coach wonderful children on my swim team. They look up to me...mimick my every move. It's the privelege my own self to not only coach and teach them about swimming... but to make an impact on their lives as "a person" not just a swimmer.

I get to mentor and pour into the lives of amazing teenage girls who will someday change this world and help turn it around. I'm so lucky to put part of myself into them...

I love water...and the sun.

Helps me remember how lucky I really am.

Thank you Jesus for your gift of sun and water, I love you.

Whirlwinds, Roller Coasters, and Chilling

So I guess that I've prove true that I'm not one to update these things too often. I let it slip by.

yep, slip right on by.

Whirlwinds of things have happened since I last posted.

Relationship mended.
Jobs started.
swim team recruiting done.
asked to lead a small group by myself.
slept in to 11:00 am 2 days in a row.
went to a water park.
sat in the booking room at the local jail and fingerprinted.
and I've been bored too.

Life is great. It really is.

It's an adventure.

It's a roller coaster with its ups and downs almost daily.

But it's not so much about those ups and downs, it's about how we choose to handle them.

So much is going on that I forget to chill out and just reflect.

Reflect on the day, the week, and even the month at times.

I've got to do better at this.

Better at reflecting.
Better at chilling.
Better at relaxing.
Better at letting my mind rest.
Better at being still and knowing that He is God.
