Beginning of Something Amazing.

Life has been very busy lately (as I am sure most can relate) and I am very thankful for the rest Memorial day weekend provides.

Not to brush past the importance of this holiday, lives have been sacrificed so we can go have barbecue's, drink a beer or two, and enjoy the beginning of summer. It's horrible to hear about the stories of soldiers dying and in a fleeting moment you feel bad for their family and friends (I myself am guilty of this) and forget about it the next day. (heck, the next hour)Such a loss is NEVER forgotten among their relatives. I like to think God has a special view for those who sacrifice everything to protect others.

I think my summer will be spent less enjoying (atleast in the sense of the past summers I have had) and more plugging into my seemingly permanent home. God, through friends in NoVa, has prepared me for something amazing down here....

This weekend will be different from most. I'll be ACTUALLY relaxing as opposed to going somewhere...should be nice I guess. Too bad I always feel the incessant need to do things (thanks DC!)

I am excited to check out a new church this weekend though....lots of church-shopping lately with little results. Maybe too many choices is a bad thing? Rest assured if I was in the mountains and there was one church in 50 miles, I'm sure it would fit my criteria. But, God likes us to have choices, for which I am thankful.


Beginnings excite me.

P.S On another very random note: my favorite TV show to date is Lost. I just watched the series finally and I really enjoy huge psychological twists that make you think in order to keep up....I highly recommend! Half tempted to write my theory but won't....
