8/31/2015 0 Comments Summer of ListsI sat down early this month and tried to think: how do I convey in words what these last three months have been in the grand scheme of my life? Then I had the thought - Have they been anything of value? I then reminded myself that every day, every season of our lives, has value. It's our job to increase that value and make it great. And while I didn't do that everyday, I like to think that I did over the course of summer. But the dilemma still stands: how do I put that into eloquent words? Well... I can't. So instead, here are the lists of my summer. Things I was able to do this summer: Be a Team Leader at Super Summer OK Go on mission in Tacoma Be a sponsor for three weeks at Falls Creek Youth Camp Visit friends in other cities/states whenever I wanted I was actually able to READ FOR FUN What was not so awesome this summer: My close friends were all somewhere else I felt like I didn't connect with my old friends Pursuing what was next in my life/in God's will Feeling like I wasn't doing anything worth while Feeling like I let down others concerning earlier commitments Not being creative enough Things I wish I had done this summer: Woken up earlier Read my Bible more Been more active Hard facts I had to face this summer: My friends are changing and I might not be part of their lives I may not be as responsible and grown up as I thought I have made friends that wait for me to build the friendship I have viewed this stage in my life as transitional and have been passing through, not seeking opportunities to serve God's Kingdom So...that was my summer. I'm not really sure what I have to show for it. As I prepare to board a plane this week to the United Kingdom, I realize that I am so extremely ready for this adventure and that is much needed. I can't wait to tell you all about the wonderful things I will get to experience. Thanks for reading, and I ask you keep me in your prayers. Ta Ta For Now - Mckenzie
