Chasing Paper Stars: Ready for New

Ready for New

Here I am ... Starting off my New Year with so many new things. Since I last wrote, seems like a whirlwind hit. One filled with some great things, some hard things and a whole bunch of snow and ice.

It's now, technically January 17 (since I'm writing at 12:30 AM) and my heart is so full that I can hardly explain everything. Since this blog is really for me to look back on in the future, I have to capture exactly what I am filling at this moment. So here we go...

I'm so excited and overwhelmed because I'm starting a new job in 7 days. A job with an organization that I have admired for almost 3 years now. A job that has a way of making me so anxious to start yet so scared at the same time. On January 24, 2011 I will begin my new position working for Buckhead Church, one of the three campuses associated with North Point Ministries. It's funny to see it typed on the screen because I never thought I would get my chance to work for the church that has taught me so much since I moved to Atlanta. It makes me smile. And the best part I get to be part of changing students lives. A dream and passion since my Caswell days :)

On the flip side though, I am sad to leave my co-workers at NAMB (the ones that are left). I have made some great friends working there over the past few years and I will miss their faces, their humor and the day-to-day friendship. I know we'll remain friends...I'm not worried about losing them. We've invested too much to let each other go. I will miss the 4th floor gossip sessions, the infamous bacon conversations, 5 pm workouts with Lebron and all those lunches with my rat pack! Sara, Kara, Darby, Matt, Shawn, Drew, Tim & Sarah, I adore you all and it's been a blessing to work side by side with each of you.

I'm ready for new. Something different and exciting. While I'll never forget the past, I can't wait to start my future!

More to come...

I see Your face in every sunrise
The colors of the morning are inside Your eyes
The world awakens in the light of the day
I look up to the sky and say
You’re beautiful

I see Your power in the moonlit night
Where planets are in motion and galaxies are bright
We are amazed in the light of the stars
It’s all proclaiming who You are
You’re beautiful, You're beautiful

I see you there hanging on a tree
You bled and then you died and then you rose again for me
Now you are sitting on Your heavenly throne
Soon we will be coming home
You’re beautiful, you're beautiful

When we arrive at eternity’s shore
Where death is just a memory and tears are no more
We’ll enter in as the wedding bells ring
Your bride will come together and we’ll sing
You’re beautiful, You're beautiful, You're beautiful

I see Your face, You're beautiful, You're beautiful, You're beautiful

I hope that the days come easy and the moments pass slow,
And each road leads you where you want to go,
And if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose,
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.
And if one door opens to another door closed,
I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window,
If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile,

But more than anything, more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.

I hope you never look back, but ya never forget,
All the ones who love you, in the place you left,
I hope you always forgive, and you never regret,
And you help somebody every chance you get,
Oh, you find God's grace, in every mistake,
And you always give more than you take.

But more than anything, yeah, and more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.
