A Year for Change

I said to someone before the year ended that this would be the year for change...they may not all be good, but they will be big. So far it is starting off so. In two weeks (the date has been changed) I will be moving into my very own house--and all the stresses of home ownership. I am so excited!

In addition to buying a house, I am blessed to be able to leave my part time job (well, work as needed actually) and work full time for Grace Park. I have always had the desire to be in full time ministry and now will have that chance...at least for a season. I will cherish it while I can.

This past Friday I had many ppl comment on my "glow." What made that day stand out more than others? Well, I saw so many ppl that day. Before 3:00 I had the opportunity to spend time with 7 different children and 5 different adults and still had time to look for refrigerators and sleep in.

I am also involved in a mentoring group of amazing young men and women. We meet every Friday at the boy and girls club in Columbia. This is one of the highlights of my week.

On a completely different note...Saturday I locked my keys in my car. I was at some friends' house and realized fairly quickly that my keys were not in my pocket or on the counter where i usually left them. We walked out and there they were in the ignition, all doors locked.

Luckily i have a spare set, so Isaac took me to my house only to find my roommate had just left (she was there 10 minutes earlier when I left) and all the doors were locked. I walked to the office where the office manager's car was outside only to find the door locked and no one around. I went back and tried to get the screen out of the window...that would require tools, so I asked Isaac for a credit card. All I have to say is "Thank you Costco!" With his costco card, I was able to break into my house in less than 5 minutes (a little disconcerting). I am just thankful Hannah didn't lock the deadbolt.
