thought: you never know when you are going to learn something new about yourself.
i've had an eventful week...so much so that i have neglected blogging. really, it wasn't that eventful but it was full of stuff that really made me think and, yet again, learn more about myself.
last wednesday evening, i had the opportunity to talk to some middle school girls about staying committed to Christ. the talk was only supposed to last 10-15mins with questions...it ended up being 45 and would have gone longer if their parent's hadn't started showing up. the things we talked about and the questions they asked were mind boggling. i literally was numb when i came out of there. i wanted to blog, but i didn't know what to say. i was in shock about the topics we covered. thankfully, between help from their teacher and the Holy Spirit i got through it. i had a great time, really but just hearing what these girls said and being the observant person that i am, i could tell that they were...not scared, but very concerned about lots of things in life. most of which i still struggle with as an adult. yes, they were worried about high school and what not...but things like fitting in, boys, family, how to dress and still look nice, what to eat, what not to eat, exercise....the list could go on and on. i was amazed. i don't remember thinking about half that stuff when i was their age. it goes to show that we are trying to grow our kids up too fast.
i don't remember thursday....which is sad....oh wait, i went to a friend's birthday dinner. that was fun. we went to celebration station which is somewhere between a chuck e. cheese and a dave and busters. haha. it was fun.
friday night i went to the beach with some friends. we stayed until saturday night. it was fun...i came back with the nickname "sun goddess". which i gave myself and that's kind of lame...but i said it as a joke and it stuck. haha. i do love being at the beach...gives me lots of time to think and to write. i had planned on writing this time, but decided against it. i did learn more things about myself this weekend though. so that was nice. i had tons of time to think while i was soaking in the sun.
i have decided also, that every time i try and plan something that will in some way or another change my life's course (no matter how big or small the affect it will have) that i come back home and am reminded how much i love my life. i totally get affirmed that i am where i'm supposed to be. which is great...and really good for me. i have a sort of free spirit and would love to do all kinds of things and go on adventures...but something bigger is being planned for my life and when i try and get in the way of that i get shot down and am reminded how amazing my life is right now.
with that end, i need to go. the computer battery is flashing at me.
more soon.
