21...
It is so hard to believe that in one hour I will be 21 years old! :) Time sure flies by...I have been reliving many memories from my childhood/youth as I have been home for break, and while some has not been easy, for the most part it has been an enjoyable experience. God has accomplished a great deal in my life during these 21 years, and I know that He has much more in store for me throughout my life.
Can I say that God has a most interesting sense of humor?! ALL around Red Bluff there is SNOW--enough that I-5 is closed from Redding to the Oregon border (150 miles)...yet, there is NONE in the city limits of Red Bluff. LOL. God just loves to torture us Red Bluff kids with this! :) That was quite the storm though--12 inches of snow in Redding, a city that has not seen snow in 10 years or more...oh well. I got snow in D.C. so I shouldn't complain! :)
Today was an okay day...I helped my dad this morning with some things he needed done, and it was actually pleasant. We got along and though we didn't say much (because it was so early) it was full of great conversations...I was reminded of how amazing my church here is today, when my pastor and his wife took our college group out to lunch, just to spend time with us before we return to school. I love this church, and it seems that it just keeps getting better and better!
A lady from my church passed away on Sunday afternoon, and I have been asked to sing at her funeral...I really don't like funerals, and I get so emotional that I am not sure how the singing will go--but I am doing it for the comfort of the friends and family of Maggie Mae Greenleaf and for the Lord, not for myself. I am grateful for the wondrous gift of music the Lord has given to me, and I try to use it whenever possible, for His kingdom...
My birthday doesn't hold too many plans as of yet. One thing is still certain: NO drinking! :) My friend Duane is coming to see me, which will be great. I am planning on driving down to see a group of friends at their LAN party, which I should be attending...LOL...My Mom is making her amazing meatloaf for me, and then I suppose we are just hanging out as usual. I know, I'm boring...but tradition is tradition! We always play games, hang out...Dad never lasts until the ball drops at midnight :)...I have been blessed with this family! :)
Sorry these posts have been so uninteresting...perhaps when my life becomes a little more exciting, the blog posts will follow suit!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
