A new summer and chapter of life

Well so much for keeping up with my blog last summer and during the school year. I think I just got caught up with life at camp and making friends that I didn't even think about blogging. But its a new summer and I know it would be good for me to write again. I think it will be good for me to write and heal from the tragedy of losing my brother this year. I know I have come a long way in 5 months since then but I know God is still helping me to grow and see what good will come of this. On a happy note my life has changed because I am a graduate from college! I don't think it has hit me fully yet that I am done because I am still finishing up a class. But each day I can feel the change and difference because I am not thinking hmmm what books do I need next year and what classes am I taking. Instead its hmmm what is my job going to be come fall and where will I be? I will say at first I was so scared of not knowing if I would have a job this summer or not knowing where I would be in the fall. But just as God showed me this summer He will provide and I am not to worry about tomorrow for there is enough to worry about today and even then I don't need to worry because He will provide. I did get a job for the summer and I absolutely love it! I get to teach swimming lessons and be in the water near the beach! If you know me well I love the beach! I also enjoy the drive that I take every day to get there. During this drive I always pray and talk to God. I thank Him for the opportunities I have and the amazing places I have gone and get to go to.
As for other summer plans or future plans I am learning to just take it as it comes and to enjoy the present. Each day can still be hard for me but at the same time I learn more about God and His plans for me. I guess you could say I am looking forward to the fall even though I am not sure where or what I will be doing. I feel a great sense of relief not knowing because I am learning to let God surprise me and guide me. Its much better then trying to fight Him on my plans and His plans. Don't get me wrong I still try to plan things for the fall or my future but I am learning to not stress or worry about them . One goal I have is to travel somewhere and do some mission work. I don't know where or when but I just know my heart is tugging at me to peruse! Well I best be off to enjoy today and all that God has in store. I will try to be better at blogging this summer. I hope that what I share may help others to grow in Christ with me.
