More to come but for now, Happy New Year!
I'm thankful for...Olivia! She's become a little buddy that I look forward to seeing every week. Her face always makes me smile, especially when she asks me to sing "The Wheels on the Bus" with her. One thing I love about the family is seeing all the little ones run around.
It's really nice to be congratulated and appreciated. :-D
I miss mornings like this.
When I was in college, Cha for Tea was my place to eat, think, and drink. During winter quarter, I spent a significant chunk of time there as I was reading through Paul's missionary journeys in Acts. I would always take the back corner table after ordering my strawberry milk tea and pull out my journal, Bible and just write. It's amazing that I was able to concentrate amidst the buzz of such a busy atmosphere and I think that's why I loved the mornings there with still morning light. Even though I wasn't ever a "morning person", I treasured this hour before heading off to class - I was reminded that I had a fresh day before me.
Time has passed and there aren't any mornings at Cha for Tea anymore, but it does make those quiet times so precious when I can find a little corner to fill...and think about those fresh days before me.
Right now I am just loving the Collegian girls from LBC. This was from the first time I got them all together, which was for a tea party at my house, last spring. Grace, Keziah, Cindy and Steph all have such incredibly diverse and vibrant personalities that the muted colors in this photo is a pretty ironic contrast.
After volunteering to help her small group "bond" I was pleasantly surprised at how excited Lillian and her small group were. We had a lot of fun at Renaissance on a Sunday afternoon. You'll have to check out more portraits from our photo session on my flickr page, and hey, if anyone else wants to have an impromptu photo shoot, I'm down!
