Tuesday

So here I am again, only my second blog post. Thanks to a friend from college I picked up a wonderful book called 7 by Jen Hatmaker. I am so overwhelmed and excited by this book right now, which is why I chose to write about this tonight. She is trying to get rid of excess in her life and goes 7 months doing this. So far I'm on month three. The first month is food. She only eats seven foods for one month. The second month is clothes and the third month is possessions. What she learns and does during this time is just something you have to read about, it can't be put into words. She is literally purging all the "stuff" from her life and allowing more room and time for God to come in and completely take over. It's completely giving me a new way to look at life just reading it so I can't wait to start actually doing it when I finish the book. I have emailed Hope House in town to see if they need anything specific at this time so I can start my possession give away. I will keep you updated on this.
Other than my reading, I finished my summer class today and ran two miles after work. I'm working both of my jobs this week and only get one day off. I just want to lay by the pool all summer, but long gone are the days of being lazy with no responsibilities. Heading off to bed now! Until next time...
