...where has the time gone?

I do apologize for the reaaaalllly long break in writing. I always get inspired to write something and then when i actually get to the point of siting down and typing, i feel lazy, and uninspired. its tragic, really. So in the last few months, a lot has happened...in that slow, summer sort of way.

lets see.

• I went to denver to visit my friends, one of which who is now engaged to be married. Another one...joins the ranks. =] [<3>
• I went to Six Flags!
  
• I have kept a pretty steady 5-day work schedule
• My oldest brother got engaged [jimklotzle.blogspot.com] and so i'm getting another sister! welcome krissa!
  
• I aquired a new truck! YAY! i bought it from my grandpa, and have enjoyed being a vehicle owner for a month now =]
  
• My best friend moved to Cairo, Egypt for the school year, which is both exciting and sad.
  
• not much else. i guess a lot hasn't really happened.
  

So thats for my newsy stuff. Now on to the deeper stuff =]

I have reached the realization that life is good. there is not much in my life that God hasn't touched and blessed. I am learning so much, growing and counting it ALL joy!
Another truth that I am learning is that God cares about our attachments to things. I have a strong connection to my dogs, my truck and notes the people write to me. And while these things may seem simple and even trivial, what they ARE doesn't matter. God cares about my attachment and how it affects me. When one of those attachments gets broken, He is there to hold me close and cry with me. That makes Him so much more personal. HE hurts when I hurt. and He promises to comfort me and heal my hurts. Oh what a God I serve. I recently had someone ask me why do I believe in God? Because I have felt this power. I know what He does for me. And there is no justification for not believing in Him.
