Today is August 1. I woke up this morning to my cell phone beeping. I turned over, and looked at it thinking it was somebody texting me. When I looked at the phone half asleep I just smiled. It was my calendar alarm going off saying, "move today". You see months ago I put that in my phone because today is the day that my lease was up on my apt and I thought I would be moving. It has been a rollercoaster 4 months trying to figure out what I was going to do about my living situation. It was one of those things where everything I thought I wanted continued to fall through. Long story short, one of my good friends(and coworker) is going to be moving with me! This is a huge answer to prayer and I am so thankful for the Lord's provision. Do you ever have those times in your life where little circumstantial things happen and many people would say, "that just happened by chance"? Well all the things leading up to my friend Joanna and I living together could be said it was just chance, but I know that it wasn't. It was the Lord! I love that I serve a God whose hand is intricately involved in every detail in my life. He knows what is best for me and promises to give that! Between the uncertainty's of my job and my living situation it was several months of anxiousness, tears, and trusting the Lord (I wish I did not struggle so much with the anxiousness part!) BUT God has blessed me so much. He has answered my prayers and given me an amazing job and an amazing roommate! Thanks so much for praying for me! Please don't let the prayers stop:-)
Ok now on to more summer fun. I have uploaded quite a few pictures from the summer. Enjoy...
My friend Mara Diana made a trip up to NYC for a bachelorette weekend we both were invited to. Time Square here we come...
This has been a summer of many cookouts. This was an indoor cookout because of the rain!
Good Morning America. Sorry for my appearance, but I literally rolled out of my bed to go to Central Park to see Kelly Clarkson in concert! One of the many fun things about summer in the city is all these free concerts that Good Morning America and the Today show have
Yet another cookout... This one was on a rooftop terrace
4th of July. A bunch of us had a cookout(can you tell that cookouts have been a big part of my summer!) and then walked down to Pier 70 to watch the Macy's fireworks being shot over the Hudson river. Don't know if you saw them on TV, but they were incredible! I have been to a lot of firework shows in my life, but never seen one so huge!
They were beautiful!
The fireworks reflected off of the Trump Towers that line the West Side HWY of NYC
Bike riding in Central Park. A few of us rode bikes through Poets Walk one night after a concert in the park. I do not own a bike so we had the great (or not so great) idea of riding double!
The Flat Iron building. It is located right beside Madison Square Park where I have spent some time this summer. I just think this building is so cool
George Washington Bridge. Even NYC has pretty sunsets!
Riverside Park on the Hudson river. I went Kayaking right here today, but could not get a picture of us in the kayak
Can you believe I blogged 2 days in a row?? I'm on a roll! More to come later. We have week 2 of VBS this week. This one is for pre-school kids. It should be quite fun, because we have some mighty cute kids coming to it!
