To try and sum up the last month in a few words is nearly impossible. My life has been complete chaos. But in the midst of everything, God has given me moments of pure joy and peace, and has blessed me in so many ways.
For example, a few Sundays ago, our church had their children's program (which was AMAZING, to say the least...) It is so clear to me why Jesus said that we ought to be like little children.
TJ had the opportunity to arrange the hymn "Oh, Come Emmanuel" with a few friends and play it in church. It was so incredible to be able to see TJ using his voice and musical talent to glorify God. The arrangement was beautiful and so worshipful... I wish I could have recorded it.
Work has been great. Between my coworkers and the kids I work for, it's almost like another family. It seems that after I crossed the 1 year mark, things became more comfortable.
We moved to a new apartment. For just a small increase in rent we were able to get another room, a washer in dryer in the apartment (yay! no more laundromats!), windows that work, hot water that lasts more than 10 minutes, a dishwasher, garbage disposal, and natural sunlight... so wonderful!
So since all this has happened, I now sit at the beginning of 2010 and wonder what in the world God is going to do this year.
I have a few resolutions in mind... but I'll save that for another time.
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Years!
