Tears are falling, hearts are breaking How we need to hear from God You've been promised, we've been waiting
Welcome Holy Child Welcome Holy Child
Hope that you don't mind our manger How I wish we would have known But long-awaited Holy Stranger Make Yourself at home Please make Yourself at home Bring Your peace into our violence Bid our hungry souls be filled Word now breaking Heaven's silence
Welcome to our world Welcome to our world
Fragile finger sent to heal us Tender brow prepared for thorn Tiny heart whose blood will save us Unto us is born Unto us is born So wrap our injured flesh around Yo u Breathe our air and walk our sod Rob our sin and make us holy
Perfect Son of God Perfect Son of God Welcome to our world
I am entitling this post "seriously crazy" for good reason. I have a good dozen or so posts started but life likes to get in the way and throw out more "important" things to do.
You know how it is, right?
For me... the past couple months have been full of choices, frustrations, growing, heartache, drama, learning, and acceptance. Time has passed quickly though, partially due to all kinds of changing events... new babies and puppies, job adjusting, injuries, school, medical scares, and just overall adapting. And of course, the holidays! :) But that's how this journey goes... always crazy! I'm sure we all know too well, however, that crazy can sometimes get a little out of hand.
I had so many fun ideas like a Christmas etsy feature, homemade gift tutorials, a bunch of fun links, and lots of holiday goodies! Then there's regular life.... I haven't had time to record my moments, not to mention printing or posting one of the best things in life, pictures!!! And I don't feel guilty so don't get that impression, but this blog is such a vital outlet in my life. I'm a writer, and I'm a scrapbooker. I love words and songs and images worth far beyond a thousand words. I need them to sort a path through the craziness, to survive.
So now that I finished my semester (1 class seems like nothing, but I'm trying to ignore that and, considering the circumstances, just be proud I made it through!!)... Be prepared for a little blog overload. Or at least that's the plan. (But then again.... this life is crazy and it is the holidays... but I digress...)
Now for a simple recap of what you've missed and consequenty, what's still on my mind!
Our "apartment" (it's not like you think... but it is funny!)
Two very special school projects
So, my dear friends... there's absolutely no lack of things to share!! Just a slight lack of time. So, I'll post as I can and hopefully I can get this year wrapped up by the time it's over. I need closure... 2009 just has to be better, right??
And as always... I hope my stories make you smile, cry, laugh, or feel. Will you join me for the ride?
I am 22 & currently spend my days nannying my itty bitties + going to college (working on my nursing degree, goal: pediatric oncology) & am honored to be a published writer in a nursing anthology & a contributor to many scrapbooking publications. i love hanging with my amazing friends, sister & family. i love my baby puppy haylie brooke and our silly doggie ri-ri. in my rare spare time, i read & get crafty. i thrive on organization, my mac repertoire, learning & absolute fabulosity. my favorite place in the world is paris. my favorite color is pink. i love being a nurse & i believe each one of my patients is precious. i'm a night owl & wish my lifestyle promoted such habits. i like lazy jammie days. i believe in god and am thankful for his hand on my life. i believe that life is too short to be anything but happy, & i’m thankful that a chronic liver disease + the effects of a car accident have taught me important values that most people learn far too late. i hope that the world will find hope, and my idea of a good day is one in which i made someone smile :)
