this past week i've been house sitting for a friend. my sisters or brother take turns coming over to hang out with me - we spend most of the time swimming in the pool, sleeping in the sun, and eating ice cream. I've been reading; switching between novels and books about Lithuania and other things. It's been pretty swell.
My mind is sometimes here, but most often it's in England or Lithuania or any of the other places I'm hoping to visit. Summer has gone by so quickly - it's hard to believe that in a month's time I'll be off again. There is an airport close to this house, so when I'm outside I see a lot of air traffic, a lot of planes taking off. I always wonder where people are going, always imagine myself back in those familiar seats.
I miss you ladies and think of you often. Whenever I'm doing some activity - whether it's riding my bike, swimming in the pool, going to the beach, hiking...anything really - I always think of how great it would be to have you all here with me, doing the same thing.
I'm off to babysitting today! I've been so surprised by how the Lord has provided odd jobs here and there for me, and reminded of how faithful He is and that He works in His way and His time. (something to keep in mind when fretting over my future!)
I read these in Psalm 18 this morning:
"He reached down from on high and took hold of me; he drew me out of deep waters...He brought me out into a spacious place; he rescued me because he delighted in me." v. 16&19
"As for God, His way is perfect: The lord's word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him. For who is God besides the Lord? And who is the Rock except our God? It is God who arms me with strength and keeps my way secure." v.30-32
It actually rained this morning - joy! Well, I'm off to get dressed for the day!
Love you all!! xoxo
Always,
Hannah V
