Well I just got back from Memphis this afternoon, and let me tell you - I had a wonderful time. It's always hard for me to leave Memphis because of the dear friends I've made there. I spent the past three days hanging out with the youth ministers George and Courtney as well as the fellow I interned with last summer named Nick Hall. I also got to see a lot of the seniors, soon to be freshmen in college, before they headed off to their first semester.
It was slightly bizarre because when I was there I felt like I had never left! Also during my stay some exciting opportunities about my future were presented to me so - please pray about it! I know I will be.
Also while I was away I turned 23. Crazy? I think so. In some ways I still feel like I'm 18 and many will attest that I appear to look at least 12 or 14 on a good day. My dad is always saying "I can't believe it. Time is just flying by even faster as I get older! Did we just have Christmas yesterday?" Ha ha I love my Dad, and now I can slightly relate to his sentiments. It's been a great birthday, plus the 50 or so messages on Facebook made me smile. Thanks friends!
I came upstairs this afternoon and I looked over into the study. Since I started college I had this long card table that I used as my computer desk. I think it was a table Dad had at work that was going to the thrown away. The running joke has been that eventually I would have a "real" desk. I never saw the need for one because I do most of my work at studio but since the arrival of my beautiful Mac desktop, it just looked sad sitting on that scratched gray surface.
And this is what I saw:
Absolutely gorgeous. I mean, could there be a more beautiful desk? I think not. My wonderful family decided this would be a great present and they were right. My brother had to put it together, which I'm sure was a monstrous task. Thanks Jason!
So, thank you everyone for the sweet cards and messages. I've had a glorious 23rd birthday and you know what that means - I'm only TWO years away from being 25 and can, in the state on Tennessee, drive a 15 passenger van! YES! So close...
Ha ha well friends, as always, thanks for stopping by.
