Thanksgiving was amazing.
I love my family...& their strange quirks :)
We purchased our Christmas tree...from the cute "Christmas tree boy" at the Christmas tree lot by Pei Wei's. We found 2 Christmas puzzle which is exciting yet sad for me at the same time because I wont be home to put them together (but knowing my fam..they will leave some for me..or just get too frustrated putting it together so i'll get to finish!)
I worked the consesssion stand at the A&M/Texas game...oh the memories, its crazy to think i've done it for almost 8 yrs! of course now, the games that i work are few and far between, but i get at least one in every season!
Saw Harry Potter with Caley Thursday night! you just have to read the book, it was great to see it come to life, but there was so much that was left out. Definitely by far the darkest Harry Potter movie yet & a much needed PG-13 rating. Its funny to me that i've become a Harry Potter fanatic...what can i say? its good stuff & J.K. Rowling is an incredibly talented author.
Brenham is Brenham; i'm directing the children's choir for our 3rd annual Christmas Stroll. do i know what i'm doing? Nope. the whole production should be pretty interesting. I enjoy teaching sunday school...preparing the lessons & activities is great & my kids are fun to teach.
thats about it. there will be morer updates to come
grace & peace,

My heart is restless in me
My wings are all worn out
I'm walking in the wilderness
And I cannot get out
I need You, oh, I need You
Blessed Savior come
I need You, oh, I need You
Fill the every longing of my soul
Oh, how I need You, Lord
I need Your perfect word
With tearful eyes to see
The sin that I afford
I need to weep and pray
For all the thousand ways
That I have failed You just today
My bed is soaked with sadness
My sadness has no end
A downward spiral of despair
That I keep falling in
I need You, oh, I need You
To You my soul shall fly
I need You, oh, I need You
Yaweh, how I love you more than life
Your silence is like death to me
So won't You hear my desperate plea
Today my soul is soaring
Way over mountains high
Though I can see the valleys
They're all just passing by
It's not that I am stronger
Look at my feeble wings
But I've been lifted higher
Yaweh's lifted me in His own strength
Oh, how I love You, Lord
I love Your perfect Word
With tearful eyes to see
The God who always will endure
Now I will celebrate
For all the thousand ways
That You have shown me grace
And made my heart in grace to stay
You've made my heart in grace to stay
Lord, make my heart in grace to stay
I need You, oh, I need You

i've been wanting to post for a couple of days now, but have had no idea what i should write about. life has been pretty uneventful the last couple of weeks-minus the whole truck fiasco.
yeah, Tyron's transmission went out 2 weeks ago. he got towed to College Station & has been at Olympic Auotmotive since. I've made 4 attempts to go and get him and all have been failures...so i will not pick him up until Thanksgiving because I'm going to Indianapolis this week & not getting back til Sunday night, and then I'll be home on Wednesday..so-Indianapolis this week for an "urban leaders conference" is what Marcus is calling it. its should be really interesting and informative. not looking forward to being the only female in our group of 4, plus 5 straight days with Marcus & Chris is gonna be weird.
I'll definitely write on that next week.
I'm sure glad the cold weather finally showed up-i love my winter clothes, hats, scarfs, gloves!
Plus there are supposed to be snow flurries in Indianapolis this week while we're there, wouldnt that be fun?
well-gotta get back to packing & cleaning
much love to all

okay this is not to brag about anything or to boost my abilities, but tonight i made history. i just got back from the gym where i RAN for 30 minutes straight.
now, i know for some of you, that is nothing, but me, its huge. its tangible evidence and proof that with correct motivation and self-discipline from the Lord, ya know, faith as small as a mustard seed, we can move mountains, or run for 30 minutes. there were definitely moments of temptation to just press the speed button slower, but i refused, determined to reach my goal.
so now, i'm gonna get a light snack and hit the sack.
its gonna be an insane day tomorra-if you can, say a little pray for me
grace & peace, lish
i had a great weekend-wish i lived in the metroplex.
community and fellowship are very vital to the soul.
Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art...It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival. ~ C.S. Lewis
so marcus casually mentioned today they are still waiting on the grant to come in for my salary starting in the Spring...
yeah.
uh-huh...thats right.
grace & peace,

[note: i dont fear that the money wont come in, nor am i frustrated at the situation; its almost like an assessment of my "trusting" scale-kinda my idea of my relationship with Christ hits the reality of my relationship with Christ-if that makes any sense at all]
