whew...

As you look at the day before you you see a twisted, complicated path, with branches going off in all direction. You wonder how you can possibly find your way through that maze. Then you remember the one who is with you always, holding you by your right hand. You recall My promise to guide you with My counsel, and you begin to relax. As you look again at the path ahead, you notice that a peaceful fog has settled overit, obscuring your view. You can see only a few steps in front of you, so you turn your attention more fully to Me and begin to enjoy My Presence.

The fog is a protection for you, calling you back into the present moment. Although I inhabit all of space and time, you can communicate with Me only here and now. Someday the fog will no longer be necessary for you wil lhave leaned to keep you focus on Me and on the path just ahead of you. - Jesus Calling

This was a big encouragement to me a couple weeks ago and now... I am officially moving back to Dallas! It all happened sooo fast, and I am sooo excited. With the help of a sweet friend, I found a place in Dallas to live... I'm looking forward to getting to know the 2 girls I am moving in with!

Next step was to get a job. I had an interview this past weekend and am going to be a full-time nanny for a sweet baby boy! It couldn't be more perfect for me. I will move and start working for them the beginning of January! Meet Nate... isn't he precious?! 

I am going to miss this little man so much (I am a nanny for him in Tyler right now)... he's just so stinkin' cute.

I will also miss my mom a little sis a lot, but I will still be close! I am so overwhelmed by the Lord's faithfulness. He flung the doors wide open for me!


Lot's of reflection going on recently. Holiday time is hard. I miss my daddy. So many things remind me of him, I dream about him, I want to sit and talk to him about everything like I used to. I have never been more grateful for Christ's death and resurrection that give me the hope of eternal life and of seeing my daddy again some day. That demonstration of Christ's love allows me experience sorrow and a pure joy simultaneously.


I love you with and everlasting Love, which flows out from the depths of eternity. Before you were born, I knew you. Ponder the awesome mystery of a Love that encompasses you from before birth to beyond the grave. - Jesus Calling

E'en for the dead i will not bind my soul to grief, 

Death cannot long divide.

For is it not as though the rose that climbed my garden wall

Has blossomed on the other side?

Death doth hide,

But not divide;

Thou are but on Christ's other side! 

Thou are with Christ, and Christ with me;

In Christ united still are we. 

- Streams in the Desert

And finally... it's Christmas time! I hope everyone is enjoying corny Christmas music and lights as much as I am! :)
