Hey 2012!

Happy New Year!

Here's my life update, prepare for lots of random.

So far my 2012 has been full of lots of relaxation, reading and guitar playing (with my new beautiful guitar I got as a graduation gift from my parents :)!)- a nice way to kick of the start to a year full of changes if I do say so myself! I haven't been able to start substitute teaching for awhile it seems, which is really frustrating, but there is really nothing I can do about it. God has a plan.

The childcare center that I began working at this summer hired me back for one or two nights a week and I started back there last night. It is so strange to see the contrast of the students I student taught and children around here- it's kind of funny and kind of very sad.

The Passion conference is going on this week in Atlanta and I have always wanted to go- well, this year they've been posting the live sessions online- I've been loving it! So many great reminders and things to think about going into a new year full of a lot of changes.

Lastly, I came across this song today that I wanted to share- I am LOVING the lyrics.

Have a wonderful week!



By This Fire- Audrey Assad

Wrench from me desire
Lord ignite my fire
Until I burn, until I give it all up for You
Until I do what You’ve been asking me to
Cause You deserve much more
Than what I’m living for
So give me passion that is raging and wild
Untouched by pride with joy alight and purified

Chorus:
Left behind by this fire
Are ashes lifeless and grey
But underneath lies desire
That You have placed there to bloom through the pain
To bring honor and praise to Your name

You deserve no less
Than my heart’s brokenness
Until I burn like a star in the sky
To give you Praise, life Your name, to glorify

You have told me I have no shame.
So wrench me, mold me until I glorify Your name
