Holy Cow....it's JUNE!!

As the countdown continues, it is both exciting and crazy to think about the fact that it is already June 20th. I am about a month away from the beginning of my training and I am excited to head to Virginia. Phoenix has been hotter than......well, maybe not hotter, but it sure has been warm! I have thoroughly enjoyed spending time with my family. There has been a trip to the Wildlife World Zoo (see giraffe snack time below), several hours of Diamondbacks baseball, and a kitten rescue endeavor at my sister's house.


I have been getting to know more and more families of Grace Church here in Phoenix and have enjoyed our Ladies' Summer Book Study on "Choosing Gratitude" by Nancy Leigh DeMoss. It has been such a blessing and gift from Him during this time of transition. I would highly recommend the book as well :) I am currently meditating on 1 Thessalonians 5:16-19...

"Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. Do not quench the Spirit." (emphasis added)

As I continue on toward July 25th, I am reminded that as difficult and challenging transitions are, I am called to be thankful in ALL CIRCUMSTANCES!! Even the "in between" times. Because of the good news, gratitude can be my response in any and all circumstances...what freedom and delight.

Until next time....the musing ginger.
