So, I got this idea from another blog I read pretty frequently (http://simplybeffie.blogspot.com/). I think it's a good way to reflect on the month and to collectively put it all together!
In that case, It's currently July, a month filled with sunshine, occasional summer storms and cookouts! This is my July wrapped up into one short(maybe not that short) blog post:
ENJOYING time spent with old friends, new friends, family and Jubala (of course). Since graduating from high school in June I've met so many new people and have really built some strong friendships! I thank God for the people he allows me to cross paths with because they are super cool. Also, Jubala. I'm pretty sure...no I take that back I am ABSOLUTLY sure I have spent time in Jubala everyday for the past month. Whether it was just to go in and grab a cup of coffee to go or spend hours there reading, writing and listening to music. It really is my happy place where so much gets done.
LOOKING FORWARD to my 18th birthday on Saturday, July 19th! I'll finally be able to leave for Africa without my parents permission (even though I already have it (: ) Also, speaking of Africa, I'm also looking forward to that...It's crazy I leave in ONLY 32 days, I repeat 32 days! CRAZY just the other day it was 9 months away...
Also--getting to see the Hemphills! I miss my Africa family! Follow their journey @ (http://hemphillhub.blogspot.com/)
PROCRASTONATING when it comes to packing. I do not have much time left and within those 32 days I'm going to VA and camp. But really...how does one pack up there life when it comes to moving across the world? It's not like I can run home or go to the closest Wal-Mart to grab something if I forget it. I am not sure where to begin...which is why I'm putting it off. Help would be greatly appreciated! (:
SEARCHING for long skirts and a better more reliable computer to take with me on my trip! Anything works!
WRITING so much. I started a new journal on June 22, 2014 and I finished it today. This journal was not short either. I guess I've just got a lot to say.
READING every minute of every day. Im pretty sure I am in the middle of 5 books right now. How do I keep them straight?!? Also, just finished reading through the book of Ecclesiastes. I love it! Such a dark book but I love the truth it proclaims. Everything is nothing, the only thing that matters is the One who created everything.
STARTING to write letters. Im writing 30 letters to influential people in my life. One for each day till the day I leave for Africa.
All in all so far July has been a wonderful month. I've enjoyed a lot of time alone this month which I think is good. It's always good to just be alone and quiet for a while, I look forward to times like this. Julys only about halfway over though so there is still time left...however, the next time I write a currently I'll be writing in Africa, and that is a blessing.
Have a GREAT July!
