Life's a dance: Life's fast changes

Summer is quickly coming to an end for me. I'm not sure if I'm sad or overwhelmed with joy. I have been a work-a-holic since I was 16. If I don't stay busy, I'm usually getting into trouble. This summer has had a lot of down time but it has not felt restful. By the grace of God I was able to save money and pay off my student loans. Unfortunately, I decided a summer time job was needed for extra spending money and to give me peace-of-mind. Everyday since I got out of school in June I have worked from 2-6....at daycare-with 1 1/2 year olds. I love those kids but I ended up getting sick twice and typically going home with a headache. Two months have passed and I find myself thinking about schedules and planning meetings and wondering why I am so white!! I did not give myself the appropriate down time. Personally, I think I'm ready to be in my own house and hanging out doing things on my terms. I'm just ready. If anything good has happened to me over the past two years it is learning to rely on God and prayer. He has showed me that His timing is the best timing. Sometimes I find myself questioning His time and I will try to take over. It's funny how quickly He can put me in my place. God has a plan for my future. My summer may not have felt fulfilling but I was able to accomplish a few things. God knows my desires for the future and I try to always remember to put Him first. Sometimes at the end of the day, Stephen and I will say what was the highlight of the day and what was the pit of the day. Maybe I'll do that for my summer: The highlight of my summer was meeting baby Joel, going under contract for a house and being with friends (especially at work). The pit of summer would have to be messing up my sleep schedule and not giving myself a proper rest.

On a fun note....I've got more pics with Joel!!!!
