Is it Summer Yet?

(My roommates acting a fool in the snow.)

It's hard to believe--but, this time two weeks ago, there was several inches of snow on the ground. And, today, I am sporting a tank top and a hint of a sunburn.

My motivation went from two opposite ends of the spectrum in a matter of a week. I used to open my eyes in the morning only to dread taking off the covers to reveal my body to the Alaskan-climate that is my basement bedroom. Now, I wake up and look out the window to see a painfully bright sun and a thermometer that reads above 75 degrees. Let's just say, I don't hate it.

I actually desire to do things with my day and it is fantastic.

And this weather only makes me wish for summer. Quad days would only be fulfilling if it had warm sand and the sound of ocean waves.

Speaking of summer, I am interested to see how God is going to use me in these upcoming months. I stepped out my comfort zone a bit and finally decided to leave the restaurant I've been working at for the past six years. Obviously, it may not seem like a monumental step to anyone but myself. But, it is kind of bitter sweet knowing that I will not have that sense comfort and familiarity this summer.

I got a job a new restaurant--much bigger, much busier, and different atmosphere. None of it is bad, but just different.

And to top it all off, the church that I have been going to since I was little has monumentally changed in the past year. My youth pastor, who was essentially my Christian mentor, moved to VA beach and that kind of had a multiplier effect. Services have changed, times have changed, and people have changed. Again, this all isn't bad; it's just different.

It's almost like I'm going home to someplace that isn't my home. It won't be the same familiar summer line-up. It will most definitely be experimental, and I'm a trusting that God will use it in a positive
