Summertime And The Living Is Easy

At least that's what the song says.  I have a love/hate relationship with the summertime.  I think I'll make a list.  Let's start with the negative and end on a happy note, shall we?

In the summertime I hate:

-the humidity

-when the temp gets above about 80-85

-sunstroke (I once had a really bad case of sunstroke when I was 15 and in marching band, and ever since I can get it fairly easily if I'm out in the sun for too long)

That's it really.  Overall, I really like the summer, contrary to popular belief.  I love all the seasons.  I just love some a little more than others is all!

In the summertime I love:

-driving with the windows down music blaring

-windblown hair

-suntans and freckles

-sandals

-being barefoot

-skirts and sundresses

-bright colors (on clothes, fingernails, toes, sunglasses, purses, everywhere!)

-long days

-warm nights

-sleeping with the windows open

-fruit & veggies cheap and ripe!

-ice cream

-sunroof open

-swimming

-4th of July

-everything comes alive!  the trees, flowers, town!

-lots of get togethers

-cookouts

-beer and brats (mmm)
-minimal makeup (bronzer, mascara, lipgloss--gorgeous!)
-hair in a fat bun, huge dangly earrings

So as you can see, I clearly enjoy the summertime.  Except for the heat and humidity ;)

Dear Jesus

Dear Jesus,

     I love you.  Help my wavering heart be unwavering.  You are truly the only one my heart desires.  Build this truth into me so deeply that my eyes will stay focused on you and you alone.  You are my everything.  There is nothing I can do outside of you.  I could search the entire earth over and not find one like you.  Take these hopes, dreams, desires and wants and make them yours.  I want nothing outside of you.  Forgive me for my adulterous ways.  You are my all in all.  There is no one for me outside of you.

All my love,

Sarah

First Love - Enter the Worship Circle

If I lift your name up high

will you draw me to your side

I just can't make it one more night

without your kiss

I will wait still, Lord come and fill

this emptiness is more than I can stand

I lift my eyes, my voice to the skies

return me to my First Love once again

Lord I fall down on my knees

only you can rescue me

I find that I am so in need

Wrap me in your presence

I will wait still, Lord come and fill

this emptiness is more than I can stand

I lift my eyes, my voice to the skies

return me to my First Love once again
