Oh, its July.

If it were not for the fourth, I wouldn't have realized another month has passed.

I live in overnight bags and fall asleep reading books
I'm attached to my backpack, and almost always 5 minutes late for countless coffee dates.
I get up early for staff meetings, and stay up late planning for bible studies
I eat cereal out of mugs on the drive to work, and then sometimes cereal again for a late dinner.
I spend just about all my time with high school students, or married people with toddlers.

I honestly enjoy every minute of it. It gets hectic, and sometimes I feel like I run around kind of mindlessly, but I love where I am at. I am learning more than I have time to realize. I assume that most of it will click sometime in October.

The best way I can describe it is like driving.
Taking mindless right turns on some form of auto-pilot
I find myself halfway down the highway and I don't even remember going up the on-ramp.
In the same way, I am finally letting the Lord take me where I am going
My focus has shifted from tracking mileage to appreciating the landscape
Focusing on Christ rather than worrying about the details of the journey.

I am enjoying July.
