I realize that I have not blogged about anything since last year during Wellspring, and that's totally my fault. I wish I would have written more, for a lot has taken place since then; way too much to write about in one post. So here I am, attempting another go around with it this summer because 1. I'll have more time 2. hopefully have more stories, and 3. be able to actually reach the goals I am setting here and now at the beginning.
About 3 weeks ago, I got a position in Battle Creek working at Continental Pastries scooping ice cream! The first thoughts in my head? I'M NOT LIFEGUARDING! Don't get me wrong, lifeguarding is wonderful, but something else to stick out there is nice too. How cool is that though...come on....scooping ice cream. Niiiiiice. Now, I start tomorrow. Start training. Not gonna lie, I'm a bit scared, but only because it's something totally new that doesn't require me to sit in a chair beside a pool in my suimsuit. I'm also living with my sister all summer so I can bike to work as well. I'm also so excited about that because biking = exercise and...well...being around frozen custard goodness all the time...bad things can happen in the form of extra weight added on. :] So this summer, I'm making a pact with myself to not just be content with biking all summer, but I want to be able to be in better shape than ever before when all is said and done (which means having variety too!) I can't wait.
Now, along with this idea of a new job, and a more healthy lifestyle, I am also challenging myself to remain in God's word constantly throughout each day. Not just physically in his word, but mentally as well. With all the free time I hope to not have, this is going to be hard, which I know. It was hard this past semester, and I did suffer for it (that was the worst part...suffering). I want to love deeper, and walk closer with my God, my provider, and my sustainer.
With this said, I begin my journey. Day 1, begins now (well...in 45 minutes). We'll see where the road takes us this summer, in 2010. Bring it on.
