I'm so bad at this blogging thing. I apologize to those of you who routinely check for updates. I do so well at journaling, but just can't seem to do it online. Mary Anna & Natalie have threatened me, so I figured it is time for an update.
Everything is going really well. I still LOVE Nashville. I am so thankful that God has brought me to this place in my life -- I can't imagine being anywhere else right now. He has continued to teach me so much, particularly about his being my provider and confidante. He has also blessed me with some incredible people around me -- people at work, new friends, roommates. This weekend marks 4 months of being in Nashville. I can hardly believe it's been 4 months! I feel like I just got here, and yet I feel like I have been here forever. I love that this is home now.
I've had some really fun things going on lately.
- Spent Thanskgiving in B'ham with Coy, Mandy, & Cale. It was wonderful to spend time with them & their family since it was just too expensive to make it back to Texas.
- It snowed on December 1!!!! Just a little bit, but still snow. Then it snowed much more on December 12!
- Went to see Tuna Does Vegas with Natalie, Hadley & Rachel at TPAC. I highly recommend it...so funny!
- Roommate Christmas party -- I am so thankful for Amy, Mary Anna, & Emily. I love how God put us together.
- Nashville Natalie Day -- My dear friend Natalie is moving back to Texas. A few of us went to Pancake Pantry that morning & then her going away party was that night.
- Behold the Lamb of God by Andrew Peterson. If you have never seen this live, I highly recommend it! It's a musical telling of the story of Christmas and is AMAZING! I went this past week to see it at the Ryman, which is amazing in and of itself.
I hope that you have a wonderful Christmas and take some time to reflect on all that God has done in your life this past year.
Luke 2:8-14
There were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger."
Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests."
