summer days are supposed to be lazy. i haven't had much lazetime lately, as i'm sure my sporadic blogging has proven.
this past weekend sarah, eric & i headed to her grandparents' river house in deltaville, va. it's the same house we went to for my birthday celebration, as well as for the girls weekend in april. the town of deltaville is bordered by three bodies of water: the rappahannock river, the piankatank river, & the chesapeake bay. the weather held out reasonably during the days with buckets of rain & thunderstorms in the late afternoons & evenings. however, that did not deter much of our pool time wherein i got crispy-fried burned to a crisp. we wiled away the hours swimming, fishing, crabbing & boating. we were out sunday morning on the boat at 7 AM & returned around 1 PM with 70 fish in the coolers. it was eric's first saltwater fishing experience & he seemed to quite enjoy himself.
the weekend came at a good time for me as i'm trying to reevaluate some things in my life. for the last six months or so i've run the gamut of satisfaction & frustration with life. i took a FRANKLIN COVEY TIME MANAGEMENT SEMINAR last week. while it was intended to be for work purposes, i found that much of the principles will be as/more helpful in managing my life in general. it also made me realizes there are some things i really need to work through in order to determine my true desires, goals & expectations.
at 30 years old i feel i should know these things. to an extent, i do know them. but i'm having a hard time pinning them down & actually achieving them. i always thought that by this age, i'd have my lifepath set. however, that's not the case. i'm trying to yield to God in all of this but i feel as if He's taking his sweet time. patience has never been one of my virtues but i am learning it more than i'd like to admit.
eric continues to enjoy raleigh. we enjoy our time together but it's been an adjustment period in determining the outcome of our relationship. we are two very different people & at times the compromise factor is draining to us, not to mention that we are fearful of changing ourselves solely to suit another person. there are questions of whether this is a long-term relationship of compatibility. right now prayers & thoughts are about the only way to navigate through that period of questioning.
otherwise, all is right with the world. God is faithful.
