Well, I spent most of the day lying in bed because my back was too painful to even put on a shirt. Ouch. Thank the Lord for Solarcaine! And also for friends to keep me from being completely bored and miserable.
It has been really exciting to watch God start moving in different areas of my life, and using completely unusual circumstances to do so. Setting down guidelines for accountability has made it far easier for me to be consistent in my quiet times. Applying for a job in Clemson and not hearing back has made it much easier somehow to be at peace with staying in Rock Hill for at least another year. Getting pulled over for an error I made reminds me that in spite of my best efforts, my life is impossible to fully plan out and I need God's help in every aspect thereof. Having a sunburned back which kept me in bed made it possible to have a necessary (yet painful) discussion which lead to a friendship being cemented even more deeply. Being away from home so much this summer only reminds me of what is most important: Christ's love and the people He has placed in my life to love and serve.
