Gold

July 1st, 2013. Second month of summer. Over halfway through the year.

It's gold. The more I think themes of this summer and how I feel, it's the color of gold.
Sunlight that reflects the ultimate joy we have in Jesus. It's the color of gold.

The more I go into these summer months, the more I feel like back in May, summer was a rock ready to be chipped away. And underneath the rock, all this good to see was waiting to be uncovered. The Lord is revealing Himself to me every day, showing more and more gold than rock.

And at the same time, things are changing all around me and there's brokenness and heartache and time is flying and people are figuring themselves out and are going places and struggling with change and letting go and the future but wanting to enjoy the day for what it is and I'm trying to stay focused and prioritized and still trying to be productive but slipping back into laziness and just want to eat food or crawl in a hole or wonder why I am where I am.

But despite all of that, these summer months are still gold and they're good and they're held in God's hands and overflowing with His love.

I need to say this to keep my spirits up more than anything:

Seize the day, because this is the day the Lord has made. Let's rejoice and be glad in it.
