Henry Wadsworth Longfellow once wrote, "Then followed that beautiful season... Summer...Filled was the air with a dreamy and magical light; and the landscape lay as if new created in all the freshness of childhood." Today was a wonderful day... I spent the day at the beach with Sarah, and my new friends Daisy and Alisha whom I know through Aaron. We spent the day laying in the warm sun, accompanied with lots of girl talk :) it was nice to hang out with a couple girls who had fun just hanging out and talking. It was another great beginning to a wonderful summer.
Me, Sarah, Daisy, and Alisha <3
Before I we (Alisha and I) got burnt.
Beach Babe :)
Love this girl
We thought this was pretty funny hahahah :)
The day was just wonderful, we laid out for hours, had submarina sandwiches and I ended up getting sunburnt! Thankfully, Aaron brought me some aloe vera lotion to help with the pain :) Tonight was fun because Aaron came over and let me shave his head.... he had an overgrown fo-hawk that needed to be dealt with. He shaved his head and I must say that he looks simply handsome :) One thing I miss with Aaron is spending quality time with him, I never seem to get enough, or at least as much as I would like. I am really praying for him right now and his walk with God and everything else he is going through because I can feel that something is bothering him and it hurts me to see him that way. I think it's hard for him to understand how much I care about him, and how I only want what is best for him. I miss going to church with him through, I miss doing devotions with him... I miss the drive he had to take me to church when we first met, it was always a priority. I love him, and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with him... but it scares me to, it scares me to let down my walls that I built these past two months... but I know I need to. Part of me needs Aaron to open up to though, let me see the emotional side of him... and I need him to encourage me in my walk with God too. I am tired of being a lukewarm Christian... God deserves more than 15 minutes of my day.
Jewel.
God, thank you for today. Thank you for the sunshine and the presence of friends. God thank you for who you are and how you work in my life. Thank you for the opportunities you have placed in my life these past couple days. God give me strength to encourage Aaron in whatever he is going through. God help me make every day more and more about you. Continue to work through me and in me, speak through me everyday, use my hands and words to praise your name. In your precious name,
