camp is just that cool

one: death to all packing.
two: where are my keds?
three: off to summer camp for a week.

summer kills.(in a good way.)

hey there

this week has brought a smattering of to-dos. all the excitement of summer plans are rolling out into reality.
for now though, my days are slow. my plans this week are up in the air waiting to be confirmed. the feeling of not knowing what tomorrow brings is a rather nice one though.
who knows, wednesday could be all about sun-kissed cheeks and icecream.

happy independence day.

powning granny

Heart of my own heart whatever befall
Still be my vision O Ruler of all

eager waiting

“The plan of God for me, for this one day, is meant not to trouble but to gladden my heart.” 

-Elisabeth Elliot 

god has been doing so much the past few days. what’s absolutely best for me right now is having my plans shaken every five seconds. as life gets hectic and everything you thought you knew continually gets spattered on the ground, the lord constantly reminds me i’m dependent, that i'm not in control, and that by my own strength i’m not okay.
i have to constantly remind myself that he is a god who is completely sovereign over every aspect of my life.

so i'm here, waiting patiently on him.

with love, mandy
