I’m sort of overwhelmed with the birthday love I received this year, but in the best sense. I am honored that anyone would remember, and I heard from friends and family scattered all over. What a blessing!
I’m praying for God to be permitted to move in my life over these next twelve months…I want him to take me places I’ve never been and to show me things I’ve never seen. I want to know him more and to more fully realize his plan in my life.
Watching Tunes was a doozy…it was hard, much harder than I thought it would be. Am I just refusing to let go of a part of my life that was just really special? I’ve never felt this kind of tie to a place; maybe that’s just how this is going to work. I miss that place, the people (oh, the people!), and I miss the work I did while I was there. Lord, help me to understand.
A final note on Tunes: after watching the live webcast last night, I finally felt ready to watch the 2008 show, so I did. I then followed those two with the shows from 2007 and 2006. That was a mistake for several reasons, not the least of which was that I was up until 2:45 am. Waking up for church this morning was hard and I was sad. After going more than a year Tunes-free, gorging on four years of shows packed quite a punch.
I really, really needed the days I had off last week. It’s hard to explain…I just needed it.
Joey and I are going to see U2 in three days and I’m so excited! Have I mentioned that before? I have? Oh. Well, it’s true.
Here’s a picture of me and my handsome father from today’s lunch. He’s the best.
You are just too stinking cute! Seriously, beautiful picture of you (and your daddy too)! Glad you had a good birthday!
You are too kind! I hope that your week is off to a smooth start! (I read your post of “lessons learned” from your weekend. Sounds like it was…exciting.
