If you’re still checking in every now and then to see if I’ve had something new to say, then…bless you. You’re either truly a friend, or my mother, one of the two, no doubt.

After having my nose to the grindstone for several weeks running, I’m finally at the computer with some honest-to-goodness free time and so many things to share and say that…I quite frankly have no clue where to begin.

I could talk about the move, or the fact that I took the last three finals today, ending my first year back at college. Or I could share the amazing laughs and wonderful time we had at WOW on Monday night. Or I could fill you in on Jorge’s college pick, let you know that Nate comes home for the summer tonight, describe my new office, or let you know about The Wallet.

See what I mean?

I’ve been silent, but life has been anything BUT quiet. I will share everything in upcoming posts, but for today I think I’ll just say "hey" and enjoy the ability and the time to be able to do just that.

In the frenetic pace of the past weeks, one thing and one thing alone has been my constant. This verse has been the mantra coursing through my spirit in the early morning hours and in the darkness of midnights when I’ve been the only one awake.  "In God is my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength, and my refuge is in God. Trust in Him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before Him: God is a refuge for us."

Life is a series of changes, a constantly revolving existence that very often leaves us taxed, torn, and totally exhausted. But my God is steady and sure. For that, I am so thankful. So grateful. He’s truly my joy.

So – for now – I’m enjoying the refuge.

You take the time to enjoy it too!
