yeah, it’s summer

I somehow just slid into summer.  It’s like when you’re young and you go sled riding (or down a waterslide), and for the first ten seconds of your ride you keep your eyes closed because you’re so excited and scared and stuff.  I guess that’s sorta what summer’s been for me.  Peru came and went.  I pray not to forget about my experiences there.  Back to my 9 to 5.  I feel busier this summer than during the school year.  I somehow never realize that it’s going to be like that.  I wonder if this is what the real world will be like.  I wonder what I’ll have (make) time for.  I think I’ve concluded that whatever I do from 9 to 5 needs to have some real value.  Painting bathrooms and removing rocks from a lawn seem way less important and significant from digging a ditch for a sidewalk or putting up a wall at an orphanage.  I’m not sure if I’ll work in an office or in this country or what after college, but I look forward to it.  Part of me wants to see what God has for me after college right now and to fast-forward there, but I’m sure I’m not ready.  I think I need to seek out and search for what God has for me.  I’m learning that it’s an active process.  Waiting on the Lord can be an active process.  I think it really means trusting the Lord with what He’s telling you and giving you and what He’s not.  Some of my thoughts for now…
