Happy Father's Day!

This is a not-so-flattering picture of my dad and I. :)

So today is Father's Day and I couldn't be more thankful for my dad. He has made it clear that family is a priority. My dad spends most of his time, energy and money (a lot of money) for his children. He has also taken his marriage and responsibility as a father very seriously. More importantly, he has taken his faith seriously and has demonstrated what it looks like to be a follower of Christ. Thanks dad.

Today at church I couldn't help but think that as much and often as I should thank my dad for caring and providing for me I need to thank God all the more. By accepting Christ as Savior, I am called a child of God. I can relate to God as my Father. He claims me as His daughter and has even granted me an inheritance. In fact, I am a co-heir with Christ. I am not sure it is possible to thank God enough for what he has given and sacrificed for me. I'm not even sure I can even comprehend it. However, I am sure that his grace is sufficient for me, and his power is made perfect in my weakness.

The beginning of summer.

Summer. What a wonderful thing.

Its only been two weeks, but I have high hopes for this summer.

I had the opportunity to spend the first three days of summer with my whole family. That's right, folks. All 9 of us. The following Monday I turned 20. Tuesday I watched my brother get in a motorcycle accident and cried like a baby in front of the police officer. (Kyle's fine by the way). The whole next week was spent rushing to get my online course done and turned in. The night that I got my Logic submitted, my cousin called me and informed me that she was ENGAGED! I ran down the stairs and drove to her house, despite the fact that it was 11pm and she lives half-an-hour away. I am so excited for her, but so sad that I won't be at her wedding in the Fall.

I've been sick the past few days, but I'm feeling much better and expect to get things done before I pack and leave for Chicago on Tuesday.

Stay tuned for details on my internship.
