Sweet Summertime

Oh the joyous pace of summer... slow, slow and slow. Relatively speaking. On the work front we have three events from now until August 9th!!! Free, free at last! Sometimes I don't even know what to do with myself and then I always find something. Auburn is slow and most of the time I loathe this way of life, I really like a busy schedule, but I am settling into this nicely. Below are some thoughts... I don't know why I am sharing them, but none the less this is my blog so read on if you wish.

Auburn is my Africa:

I have moments, and days where I long to be anywhere but here. I want to do big things for my big God. I want to serve Him in ways I never thought possible. I believe lies that I have to go somewhere else (Africa, insert anywhere hurting people exist) to do that, definitely not here in Auburn. Why Auburn? Sometimes I feel like it is such a small existence, I plan parties. I reference Africa because of Katie. I want to be used like her. I want to have faith like hers and I want to serve like she does. If called to Africa, I should go, but as I see it now, I am called here

... Auburn, Alabama. I have days where I LOVE it, days that I could go elsewhere, but at the end of the day this is exactly where I want to be. It is where the Lord has called me and where I will serve Him and glorify Him. Why can't Auburn be my Africa? Why shouldn't I and why don't I expect God to do BIG things in Auburn. There is lots to be done here. There are broken bodies, broken souls, broken homes, and broken college students and then there is broken me. I can be used. I can approach the throne boldly asking God to make Auburn my Africa. Will "insert your city" be your Africa?

Starting to kinda like Obama:

Did I just say that? I know I didn't. Okay, so just a little... I watched the NBC News Special on the Obama White House. I LOVED it! I watched both nights and dreamed about being that girl who is 26 years old and is his secretary. WHAT! 

Wedding Tour '09:

Things are really picking up on the wedding front! From now until August it is a world wind tour from Birmingham, Aliceville, Atlanta, and finishing up in Decatur. I will be hitting up all the HOT spots! No complaints here... full weekends with my friends and great bands. Not to mention watching some of my favorite people tie the knot! Be looking for updates as I chronicle the tour. Below are some pictures I stole from B and Anna... they are from the lovely Jessie B.'s wedding. More to come...
