A little update on the past three weeks.

I have been out of town now for three weeks and am so glad to finally be back. The first week I was up in the mountains with out youth institute students. The second week I was in San Francisco which was amazing! And this past week I was on vacation with the fam in Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons! Everything was gorgeous btw. It was wonderful to spend time with the fam and laugh and be silly together and then to see parts of the country that I haven't been to before! But I have to tell you, I am exhausted from all the traveling! I'm glad to be back to my routine and a bit of normalcy. It was wonderful to go to the gym this morning and attempt to get back on schedule! And Thursday I'll finally go back to Bible study, which I haven't been to in three weeks!

On a totally different note....

I don't think I'm the only one who feels this way, in fact I know I'm not. And for some of you, you might be thinking that of all people I shouldn't feel this way, but I do.
I struggle with thinking of my job as more than just a job. I struggle with believing and remembering that what I'm doing is make a different for the Kingdom. When I stay in my office all day with a ton of paperwork waiting for me on my desk, it's hard to remember that this is for the Lord and for His Kingdom, not for man.

I really love being more relational and investing my time in people, not paper. Make sense? But I know that God has called me to this place at this time and this is where I'm to serve. I love my job, don't get me wrong, but there are times when I wish I could invest in people more. I'm working on it!
