Break

Oh my goodness, it is great to finally get a break! I’ve been going full force the past couple of weeks and it has just about worn me out. I got a new job as a server at a new Italian restaurant in town (I haven’t dropped food on anyone…yet). I’m babysitting some on the side, too. Young Life at Conley and in Pitt County overall is going strong. Many exciting things are happening as we anticipate fall camp in a few weeks (SO excited!). I still hate Physics with a passion, but my other classes are going well. And I’ve also been able to spend precious time with friends, go for a few great runs, watch a couple movies, and take lovely naps in between, all of which are some of my favorite times of the week.

I feel like I always mention how busy my life is. Yes, it can get crazy and I really hate that sometimes. Life never really seems to slow down when I want it to. In the past three days I failed a Physics exam, went to lunch at Lopaus with Lynn, worked at the restaurant, went to the YL workday, drove to Raleigh, worked at Starbucks, slept, worked, hung out with Laina and went to Mellow Mushroom (Yum!), and worked again. Seriously?! I’m on fall break…so, where’s my break?! Whew! I was just talking to a friend a few days ago about how much we must rely on Christ during such hectic times of our life. The second we look away from Christ, our Strength and our Refuge, we become exhausted and drained. If we keep our eyes on Christ, He somehow gives us energy and motivation to get through each day and then blesses us with time of rest and solitude when we need it most. It could not be truer of my own life.

Let me just say, despite all the craziness and fun that Greenville brings, it is SO sweet to be home. There really is no place like home…a place so familiar, warm, and full of love. Mmm. And fortunately, my official break starts today and I couldn’t be more excited. I’m not working and have left the next two days open for whatever comes my way. Time to re-charge and refresh…
