Life

Life has been getting in the way of blogging lately, and I'm totally cool with that. We've had a great month and December is looking to be just a fun. Lots of music, worship leading, family time, church and work fun. I'm really excited about my Thanksgiving break starting this afternoon! Ah, the perks of working with college students.

I haven't been up to much lately when it comes to crafting. Made some necklaces, some gnomes, rewrote a knitting pattern than I plan to offer for free soon, and apparently took lots of pictures of Chuy.

I'll be cleaning our home this week and getting it all ready for CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS!! Ahem, sorry. Get ready for pictures galore of Christmasy stuff.

Chuy didn't want to get up

I was almost tempted to stay home all day with this face

November concert of prayer was a huge blessing

even sleeping, he's a cutie

Insta-update

Here's my life according to instagram lately...

Staff meeting at Bacon last week...yum

Lots of yummy meals with the hubs, including Cabo Bob's, one of our faves.

Christmas tree pattern writing.

Finally finished this little cutie! Hoping to have sets ready to sell soon!

Led some worship with the hubs.

David kicked off Movember by shaving off his beard...Let's just say I'm ready for December 1 :)

Chuy got a haircut and still manages to be too cute for his own good.

I got a new dress to celebrate 24.5lbs lost! (That .5lb is hanging on for dear life, ha)

A classic lunch.

Made a new necklace last night and loving it. It has great sparkle in the light.

In Exile

Below are the lyrics to one of my favorite songs. The words are just so true to how I feel about this life vs the eternal life I will have later with Christ. I love my life, where I am, who I do life with...but I'm just passing through on a journey to get closer to God and spend eternity with Him. Thrice does a great job expressing exactly how I feel about this. :)
I am in exile, a sojourner
A citizen of some other place
All I've seen is just a glimmer in a shadowy mirror
But I know, one day well see face to face

I am a nomad, a wanderer
I have nowhere to lay my head down
There's no point in putting roots too deep when I'm moving on
Not settling for this unsettling town

My heart is filled with songs of forever
The city that endures when all is made new
I know I don't belong here, I'll never
Call this place my home, I'm just passing through

I am a pilgrim, a voyager
I wont rest until my lips touch the shore
Of the land that I've been longing for as long as I've lived
Where they'll be no pain or tears anymore

My heart is filled with songs of forever
The city that endures when all is made new
I know I don't belong here, I'll never
Call this place my home, I'm just passing through
In Exile | Thrice
