I had the chance to watch some of my babies graduate this past weekend. I have known these lovely people since they were just little things, and now they are graduating from high school and going off to college all over the country. I am so proud of these amazing people and excited for what their futures hold.
The entire time, I forget that I had graduated and am also embarking on new adventures. I am still adjusting to the idea that my "school days" are done for now.
I have been blessed by so many wise and wonderful people in my life, who offer me tid-bits of wisdom that change everything.
So I want to share a few things that have made me smile, changed my perspective and re-fueled my soul.
- (in reference to careers and jobs)-- when you think you are at your breaking point, stay longer. If you feel the need to leave, then leave when the time is right, not when you feel wilted and burnt out.
- "Most important of all is to see whatever you do as being holy, sacred work. As believers in Jesus, Christians ought to have a profound sense of why work matters. Scripture says humans have the job description of cultivating and caring for the world around us—creation, culture and community (Genesis 1:28). We get the chance to participate in God’s effort to make all things new (Revelation 21). God can do all of this without us, of course, but work matters to God because He wants our efforts to bring Him honor."
- God doesn't need us to do HIS work. His works will be done with or without us. But he sure does WANT us. And in a society where feeling "unwanted" is almost an epidemic, this is HUGE!
- iPod's on shuffle for hours as I drive back to the city....makes me happy.
- The fact that it is like a one woman Glee episode in my car as i jam to the music.
- The man in Pagosa that was missing the right half of his beard, and the left half of his mustache. Okay...i know that I am educated and what not, but how in the world did this happen?? I don't really get it.
- A company is now creating a social network site for kids as young as first graders.
Ummmm....what in the world do 1st graders need a social network for? That is what recess is for. Hey first graders.....why don't you get outside, play in the dirt, get in trouble!
- In a world of really creepy gas station attendants.....I was very relieved to walk into a gas station and two nice old men greeted me. Not creepy at all!
- I hate being a girl when it comes to packing. I alway over pack. And justify bringing numerous pairs of shoes.
- "Miracles are a retelling in small letters of the very same story which is written across the whole world in letters too large for some of us to see." - C.S. Lewis
-We must not allow the clock and the calendar to blind us to the fact that each moment of life is a miracle and mystery.

Agreed with the overpacking...I ALWAYS overpack. If there's a .07% chance I will need something, I pack it. I'm getting better though :)
