i turn mood rings black.

i can't believe my last post here was before camp started! i suppose that is how busy i have been. the past 3 weeks have gone by so fast and so many memories have already come and gone that its crazy to think about!

before the summer i was clueless about pop music, i'm still no expert by any means, but i'm starting to be in touch with the "real world" - haha. some songs have stuck in my head longer than they should have.

i do have to say that my favorite right now is the cover haste the day did to "meet me half-way"

camp has been great. and this morning i just saw my dad go by my window on a golf cart that was being pushed by another golf cart! it was a great. i think it was the same one that died on me a couple weeks ago.

my cabin is great and i enjoy it and appreciate having it so much! it was a true blessing from God for this summer. especially with the kind of hours i've been putting in at work.

life kind of threw me for a loop last friday, but its getting better. sometimes you think you are going one way, and the door that was open closes and you're not sure why, but all you can do is choose to trust that God still has a plan in the midst of the uncertainty. sometimes i'm glad that God can move me past disappointments so quickly. i suppose its because a good friend of mine helped me to see that life's disappointments usually come because we jump ahead of God's will for our lives, or we get a glimpse into the future and think that we have everything figured out only to find that God was using it for a different purpose. so after i feel like crap for a day, i give it to God and trust that He still knows what's best and all i can do is take one day at a time.

yesterday was a good day. as was saturday and sunday. family time always helps cheer me up. and the grantham boys might as well be family so it was fun hanging out and going to see the bay city fireworks with them.

my niece actually made me start to wish that i had a kid as awesome as her. we were playing a game on the wii and she was beating me pretty badly (keep in mind she is 4) and everytime she would score a lot of points she would just look at me like, "that's right, I'm AWESOME!" i think she takes after me a little too much! haha. but it made me happy.

its the little things in life that we need to find joy in :) i'm learning that again. we miss out on so much when we are too concerned with the future. so its actually kind of nice having a set back, because now i can only see one day at a time. i do not know where the future will take me, all i know is that i'm at camp and finding ways to love it thru the busyness, that i've got an amazing family and great friends who i love dearly and right now, that is enough.
