30 Days Has September

Swallowed up already.... these short days of September. It feels like a blink. It once was and now is not. You sit back thinking wondering, where has the time gone? And yet this is life... so God tells us, "There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God." - Ecclesiastes 2:24 

Eat. Drink. Enjoy good in your labour. 

...and in the end this it is only to turn our eyes towards God because everything else is vanity. "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man." - Ecclesiastes 12:13

This month I was extremely lucky to have seen old and new friends and get to go down to SoWis for a friends birthday! Lazer tag, birthday cake, church, swimming in Lake Michigan... It was a BLAST!!!! =D

It was especially fun because it was the first time in four years that Sandy, Courtney and I were together at Courtney's house. We took a picture just like the one we took before setting out on our road trip years ago. Still the same girls.... just a little more grown up! :)

Well.... day 30 is upon us. I'm off to see it through. I hope God blesses your day and your coming month... and every day after that. Life is short.... live it well.
