let me be singing

The sun comes up, 

it's a new day dawning

It's time to sing Your song again

Whatever may pass

and whatever lies before me

Let me be singing

When the evening comes

Bless the Lord, Oh my soul!

- M. Redman

Thankful,

- getting back into the swing of things at work, excitement for the projects ahead
- New Year's Eve festivities; games and food with friends, a hysterically awful film viewing with my parents, Lowell's New Year's prayer to start the year off right
- time with Kimmie and Kevin before their new semester
- Levi, showered with gifts from the James family New Year's Day party (that I had to miss!)
- surviving the James Family Plague 2013
- aunts, uncles and grandparents who came to save the day with ginger ale and babysitting
- skyping into Katie and Matt's birthday party
- when Brian's jokes were back
- a new church location (a beautiful, clean, historic and light-filled space)
- downton impressions with Brian
- a pre-stomach bug first sledding trip, on the same hills I grew up playing and sledding on..
