On this last day of 2006, God truly blessed me.
After the service today, we had a fellowship dinner. Of course the food was amazing (it was Baptist women in a kitchen, I mean come on!) but besides the food the people were amazing, and it made me realize what I really want to do with my life.
As Clint came over to encourage me, little Jacob came over and stood by my side. I kept talking and listening, and Jacob just stayed there. At one point i picked him up, and he rested his head on my shoulder. I was truly blessed at that moment, and later I realized that I wanted to be with people. I don't want to be a writer, I don't want to become some business executive, and I don't want to be the first lady, or a famous rock star. I just want to love people.
If ever I have made anyone angry, it wasn't on purpose (except maybe Beckie, but hey, we're sisters!). I know that I have stepped on toes with the gospel, and I don't apologize for stepping on them, but I do apologize for applying pressure.
Well, enjoy the last hours of 2006!
I'll leave you with thoughts from the O-C -Supertones :Refuge (In Conclusion)
Share this brief quiet moment with me.
Let the lights and smoke all fade away.
And there's nothing left but Jesus,
and no one left but you.
Where will you go from here?
Welcome to the end of time well spent.
I hope the words I'm singin'
find you well.
But, don't miss the message.
There's no greater truth.
Take refuge in His heart.

"GO and be God's Super Chick!"
lil' K, you crack me up. and I'm going to throw that same advice right back at you in a second...
congratulations on finding what you want to do- that's seroiusly amazing !! be excited !! but now that you know what to do all you have to do is take God's power and run with it. throw off every sin that hinders you and run with perserverance through the life He's picked out for you [heb 12:1 VERY loosely]. I know it's going to be a great one. thanks for being there for me this year, and best of luck in big 07... see you then :]
much love
Emily . . I wish I was more like you. Truly.
