How quickly we forget! We had my niece here for the week and had so much fun with her! But, I have to say I was tired in the evenings! We didn't do anything spectacular. It was just life. But, as I thought about the week I realized how spectacular my "just life" time is! I haven't been to the beach much this summer. But , my niece wanted to swim a lot while here. As it turned out, we had a pool party, spent an afternoon at camp on a beach, and went to a friend's and swam in her pool. We also did several service projects and even did a walk to promote heroin abuse awareness. It helped me realize how awesome my life is and what blessings I see every day!
We celebrated my niece's birthday and had a fun time putting together a last minute party-which helped me realize what wonderful people are in my life that would drop everything and come.
And, lastly, I realized that my niece is growing up. I was surprised to see how much she had grown up since we had her for a week only a year ago. She has a tendancy to get upset about things and to react very quickly. But, last week, I saw that if she started to get upset, I just needed to calmly help her realize there wasn't a need to be upset and she was fine. She would typically be great at the worst case scenario game. But, only a couple times did her imagination take her to that worst case. It seems she is dealing with the world and she is in a much better place.
So, where was God this week? He was in the special moments I got to spend with my niece. He was in the ways and circumstances that have helped her this past year to continue growing and maturing. And He was there to remind me how awesome my life is everyday!
