little moments

There is beauty in grand adventures. The amazing ability to completely change your surroundings and completely step out of your comfort zone. I think there is so much beauty in the little moments. The tiny moments that are fleeting and if you do not notice them they are gone in the blink of an eye. Sometimes I try to live life by the big moments. I am realizing when I do that I miss things.

Last week it was my friends birthday. I worked all day and served the group their meal and raced to the springs to help make his cake. (Side note: we have gotten into a tradition of making cool cakes for each other on birthdays. First time I got a field hockey stick cake which was so good! From then there has been a brain, cat on a litter box, poop emoji, cats riding horses, mountains and last week a mario kart themed cake.)

right where You want me

Sometimes learning feels like trying to drink from a fire hydrant. There are books I read that take me months to get through because after ever few paragraphs, or even sentences, I need to stop and just process. I want to absorb it all but I feel like sometimes my brain can't hold it all in. I want to grow and learn so much! I want to study photography to be able to capture a moment. I want to learn about different languages and cultures. I want to study the science body language. I want to study scripture. I want to know more constellations. I want to do yoga on a paddle board without falling off. There are so many things to learn and experience and I don't know if I can fit it all in.

Most importantly, right now, I want to learn how to be a better friend. I want to learn how to trust God always and how to be still. I want to do my job well and serve people well. I want to be a good daughter and sister. I want to learn to be humble and have a servants heart. I want to learn to be honest and stand up for myself.

in the midst

I love being active. One of my rules at camp is that I will never drive to work. I live within a 1 min walk from my office so I refuse to drive. It has been pretty chilly up here some days and my nose hairs are frozen as soon as I step out my door. It is nice though to get out in the fresh mountain air. I do like my commute to work.

Every time I am walking and my boss drives by he asks if I want a ride. I turn him down most of the time because I like the walk. He still asks although he knows I will usually say no. He makes fun of my walking but he more calls it a run. He jokes that I am "running around camp all the time, seriously, running."(That could be a direct quote) He chuckles when I walk into the office out of breath from walking up the 'stairs of death' from the kitchen. He is constantly telling me to slow down. I find that hard.
