Things are continuing on here as usual, busy
busy… and busier! With the end of the season for spring sports we have had
spring championship tournaments the last three weeks, with track and field
concluding today and tomorrow! Beside work life has been per usual, the up
and down rollercoaster ride with a couple twists and turns to keep that faith
walk in check!
Here are a few shots from the beautiful La
Quinta, Cali. where we hosted the Big West Men’s Golf Tournament
The month started rough as I look back and cant
believe it has been two weeks since I said goodbye to a dear friend and mentor,
Elaine Walsh that past away in Memphis.
I was blessed enough to make the QUICK trip back to share in the
remembrance of the great life she lived on earth and the many lives she
touched. Every day we forget how lucky
we are to be here and living with friends and family dear to us, I just hope
one day I can look down from heaven and know that I did His work on earth and
lived a life worth remembering.
This was a note Elaine wrote to me in a book that
the office gave me for my birthday a couple months ago. I will cherish this and always think of her
smile and how it touched my life in so many ways!
The Ride...
With just two months left of my Big West
internship… job hunt has reached my doorstep yet again! It has really been a learning experience for
me to evaluate these past two years and see what I have accomplished and
experienced, then to stir it all together to figure out where it is that I
truly want to be for this next chapter of
my life! I have been blessed with many
areas of experience, while that’s great… it’s also a curse… I WANT TO DO IT
ALL! But then I am reminded… it’s not up to me is it!?!?
I just continue to apply to everywhere on this
green earth that sounds interesting to me and a possible great fit and hand it
over to God, knowing he will open the right door at the right time to reveal
exactly where he wants me to be!
“We pray for things to happen when we want them
to, but that's not how it works. What's in the best interest of our heart and
our mission WILL happen, but not in our time frame.”
Open Up...
Many times I talk about the
basics, but lately I have really been working on my relationship with God… and
well… with me. As most of you know I am a very friendly
person… I have LOTS of friends! It has been awhile since I have been in a
relationship, love is in the air, (SO HAPPY FOR MY CLOSE FRIENDS) and sometimes
that can be discouraging, but then I realized something! I have to have a consistent relationship with
God first…. And be confident in myself in order to let someone else in. As I mentioned before I started running, it
has really progressed and I am improving with each day! It has really helped build my confidence and
showed me that with hard work and determination I can meet my goals. I have signed up for a small group at the
church I am attending as well so I am excited to start on that journey of
getting more connected with individuals and learn about God on a more personal
level.
I dare you to tell the truth
about what you are feeling. I dare you to give up the search for significance and
pick up the path of service.
