I cannot believe summer is almost over. I love how everyone turns things down a notch in the summer and relaxes a little more. What was the best thing you did over your break?
While I'm sad to see the warm days pass, this summer actually started out rough for me and stayed that way. When you go through hard times, you have the chance to learn so much more about God's love and the past three months were no exception for me. So,when I look back on the summer of '08, I am going to have to make a decision. I can either dwell on the pain of it or think of all the ways that God showed me how good He is.
No doubt that when I look back on this summer, I'm going to remember how hard it was. But, I more so want to focus on how good God was and how He provided everything I needed to get through it. Reminds me of some verses...
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Philippians 4:8
I will remember the deeds of the LORD;
yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago.
I will meditate on all your works
and consider all your mighty deeds.
Your ways, O God, are holy.
What god is so great as our God?
Psalm 77:11-13
