Why do I do this to myself?

So I create a blog, then I write on the blog consistently for a few months, only to neglect it for several months...I then reprioritize my life, find that the blog should be a priority, and begin the vicious cycle again.

This is one of those reprioritizing times. Or, actually maybe it's that I have the time to blog for the first time all summer. Let's go with that.

It's been the craziest summer ever...maybe even a little bit crazier than the summer we spent at Camp Hammer in the redwood mountains (wait, wasn't that just last summer?!) For a lot of people with children, summer is a time to relax and play outside and have fun as a family...and when you work in children's ministry, it's time to plan all sorts of fun activities for children while they're out of school. So it makes the life of a children's pastor a little more hectic.

Our summer schedule in a nutshell:

End of May, Daniel and I go on a mission trip to Nicaragua. Amazing. We get back June 6.
June 10, we close on our house.
June 26, we go to Xtreme camp
July 1, we move to our house.
July 7, we start Kindercamp.
July 9, worship team auditions
July 14-16, camp rock
July 24-28, kids camp

When I said crazy, I mean crazy! But now we can breathe, and I am coming off of this summer stretched, challenged, and grateful.

I don't know what this next season holds, but hopefully it will be a good season. I am believing this will be the best year of my life :)

End of blog. I decided I will quit blogging when I no longer have things to say. That, for today, is now.

Bree, after creating a blog myself, I finally figured out where to leave a comment! Jeezzz! color me blonde!
I have so enjoyed reading yours over the past year. I also didn't know you could "follow" a blog! I'm learning all kinds of things :)
How did you change your template? I've been wanting to add a picture to the backdrop of mine, but quite haven't figured that out yet. maybe you can show me...
I love you! Dawn
