The Month of July

So I feel like a slacker. I have not posted in a very long time and it is not because I do not have something to say because I do just didn't always have time to run into mom's office to make a post.
Well with that out of the way let me fill you in on what I did in the month of July. The first couple of days in July I actually spent in San Angelo, helping my brother and his wife move into a retirement center. Yeah I can hear the laughs, they are not even late twenties and they are living in a retirement center. It was fun to get to spend some time with them and the trip with mom was anything but boring. After helping them pack up and move I return to Dublin to pack my bags to head to Greenfield, Massachusetts. I was able to go on a mission trip there to help out Faith Baptist Church. We pulled up carpet, laid new floor, and did lots of painting. Dad and I stayed with a great family who has become my family now. We had so much fun and God showed me that his body is everywhere and that it is so easy for us to connect because we already have so much in common being children of the King. I had to leave my mission trip a little early to head back to Texas for a school event. I was actually kind of dreading it after being in Massachusetts for the week but it ended up being a lot of fun. I was able to meet a couple of the new teachers and get to spend time hanging out with my teacher friends. One of our new teachers I found out is very involved in missions as well and I think a great friendship could be waiting there. After the weekend was up I got to return to Dublin to help out with VBS. I had so much fun with the kids, teaching them sports and listening to the lessons. God really should me that we are Christians sometimes seem to get in the way. We think that we already know all that we need to know and so we don't always have to listen to what is being said so we distract the people next to us who truly need to be listening. (and I am not saying that we all do that). After VBS I got to go and pick up my brother from the airport. It was so nice to get to see him after a whole summer. I had missed his humor and getting to spend time with him.
Well that was my month of July and I will try and be better about not waiting so long. However I am back at school now so that should not be a problem. Well I hope you all had a wonderful summer and that if you are heading back to work the transition is smooth.
