- I finished my last long-term subbing position of the year. It was a challenging position, but I learned a lot and really enjoyed my time with those first graders.
- Michael and I went to Italy with Matt and Amy. We visited Cinque Terre, Rome, Florence, Venice, Milan, and Lake Como. It was such a blessing to get to spend some time with them and to see more of God's beautiful creation. We loved our time there!
- I got a job teaching kindergarten in the fall!
- We spent some time in Orange City with Michael's family. It was fun to see everyone and celebrate Jason's 30th birthday. We relaxed, played badminton, went swimming, etc.
- We have had several friends get married including Carter and Lindsey. Their wedding was definitely a high light for our summer. Carter is one of Michael's best friends and one of my favorite guys so we are thrilled that he found such a quality girl to marry and share life with. They had a beautiful, God honoring ceremony and it was absolutely wonderful to get to celebrate with them.
- I went to Colorado with my family (poor Michael had to stay home and work because he was out of vacation days). It was fun to spend time with my family and the friends we stayed with. We went to the town of Boulder, toured the Broncos Stadium, visited the zoo (the tigers, gorillas, and orangutans were the best), got up early to try to climb a mountain (and were rained out), and many other things. It was a blast!
Some truths I have found encouraging this summer:
- God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He is faithful. The same God who was the God of Abraham is the same God today and He cares for individuals and loves them specifically.
- I am a trophy of grace. God used his conquering power not to crush me in my sin, but to transform me into his likeness.
