My Summer Getaway..

My Summer Bed. The Hammock, yes this is where I spend most of my summer. In this hammock I have met some of my best friends, gone on some of my most exciting adventures and explored the world from this little hammock by the lake. Books are amazing that way. The way they take us in and capture us. I love reading especially in this special chair. I could sit there for hours and get lost.. (only for my mom to find me 6 hours later, and tell me it's time for dinner). You know it's amazing how stories effect us but more amazing that the greatest story of all saved me from a life with no point. I was reading in my Bible today, about God's glory and how it exudes to the ends of the universe. It's so hard to imagine.. but then again I am amazed at the little I do understand, I don't think I could take much more. It's so easy to get caught up about how things aren't going our way, or how it would be better if we where in another stage in life... but those are main indications that we need to enjoy the stage we're in right now. So if you're like me who are in this stage and are enjoying it, good for you.. but for you who aren't I encourage you to find the glory and joy that Christ has given me and continues to give me daily. Think about it.. take it for what it's worth.
