An Altar

Some times I feel like I am moving so fast that I don't take the time to stop, reflect, and remember how God has recently blessed me and given me joy. So here we go...

• Spending time in New Jersey with Margot and her family
• Going to Margot's church
• Seeing the clothespin statue
• Eating a Philly cheesesteak in Philly 
• Ice skating in Philly
• Doing the crossword and word search and playing games together
• Walking down the street for pizza
• Getting a tour of Nate's plane
• Taking the Amtrak
• Spending Thanksgiving with Allie and Kyle in Virginia
• Playing the Hitler mafia game with Kyle's Navy friends
• Getting Starbucks with Allie and Lilly and then walking along the beach at night
• Seeing A Christmas Carol with Katie, Jen, Katie, Stephanie, Edgardo and all of the adventures that went along with that, like running aimlessly in the rain
• Going to the Shane and Shane plus Phil Wickham Christmas concert with Jen
• Getting to go to bed early on Tuesday night
• Dinner and grocery shopping with Cristina and Katie
• Dinner with Mer, Justin, Zoe, and Baker and great conversation afterwards
• Celebrating "Fleece Navidad" until 1:30 am
• Having an easier week at school
• Celebrating advent with the girls in Bible
• Having dinner with family tonight

Thank You, Lord, for your goodness and blessing. This time last year I was asking You to restore the joy to me, and slowly it is coming back. Te amo, mi Dios.
