Vanity of vanities

Well, feels great to be writing again. I'm sitting on my couch, nibbling on candy corn and enjoying the chilly weather.

My life has changed so much. I find it almost unbeilevable. We're off the island now. This was our last summer. it seemed so...sudden. To watch that special place fade away before my eyes as the boat rocked away. The summer had seemed to have slipped through my hands like sand. I lost track of the time. I didn't know what I had until it was gone.

My dad is at the inn now. I don't see him too often. I miss him. It's been so hard to adjust to this new life and job. My heart grieves for my Dad. His heart is still in pastoral ministry. My mom, Morgan and I have seen his longing to be a pastor again. That is his dream. But, God has called him here, to Word of Life Inn. He didn't even think to go his way. He was set on God's will alone. I think that shows a lot of good character.

I've been learning a lot lately. God is teaching me a lot about Humility. He has really revealed a lot of selfishness in my heart to me and setting a path of humility beforeme. I've really been questioning my faith in God a lot. I've tried so hard to make God number one in my life. I've started to dig deep in his word every day and get ivolved as much as I can in clubs and youth grou in my church, but most importantly, I've been trying to spend much time in prayer. Wendall Calder read this quote in his message once;
"If you have everything but Christ, you have nothing. If you have nothing but Christ, you have everything."
I really want that to be my mindset.

"Vanity of Vanities all is vanity."
