I haven’t had much to blog about lately, it’s the holidays and my mind has been in a weird place, a good weird place. Just, not really thinking concretely, but just being really happy. Things are going really well and I keep finding more and more ways that God continues to faithfully literally remove things from my life that I want to keep for my own reasons. It’s a weird feeling, I hope you know what I mean. It’s almost like I don’t have anything to fret or stress about because God has ripped things out and seared my heart back together in new ways these last months and I guess those transforming moments are beginning to have an effect in my life, because I find myself really surprised that my mind isn’t going in circles all the time with worries or insecurities.

It’s bizarrely freeing. I have to rediscover what to do with my thoughts.

So, I was at the high school overnight for New Year’s eve from 2 to 6 (and thank you to Tyler for going with me! And for “unlocking” the door…twice…I’m still impressed…), and there Mitch tried to connive me into going to the ski trip in Winter Park, Colorado. So, needless to say, I skillfully manipulated him into a free trip and some extra benefits in exchange for my fantastic chaperone services. Actually, I wasn’t trying to manipulate, I guess I’m just naturally a ruthless negotiator.

So, I’m sitting here in a condo, with a moose head staring at me, by the fire, with the mountains outside, eating mac & cheese just made by two 14 year olds. I’ll be back on Saturday night.
