February 5th marked my Month-iversary in
FIVE FAVORITES:
1. Making new friends = drinking lots of coffee. Yes, please.
2. Opportunities to listen to live music every night of the week.
3. S-U-N-S-H-I-N-E (let’s not talk about the humidity that’s comin’, ok? Ok.)
4. Sittin’ on the front porch, readin’ with my roomies.
5. Wal*
As far as the “happenin’s”...I've been lookin’ for a church, a job, friends, and opportunities to use my gifts. And as you know, I met Robert Plant from Led Zeppelin a few weeks ago, so...we’re pretty tight now. Ah-hem ;) Aaaand...a couple weeks ago, I got a wonderful opportunity to do a voiceover for LifeWay, which is one of the largest Christian resources distributors in the world! It was a project for children’s Sunday school material...SO fun!! I got to unleash “Dramatic Amber” (hey...I know what some of you are thinking right now...so you should watch your back!!) I really enjoyed working with Tim (the engineer/producer) who primarily does music projects. I gave him my demo (and he liked it!) so I hope I can work with him in the future doing BGV’s (background vocals) on projects that come his way. We shall see! Aaaaaaaand...the final exciting thing I’m gonna tell you is that I had a job interview at Dave Ramsey last week! www.daveramsey.com Regardless of whether or not I get the job, it was an honor to be invited to come for an interview. It was Dave’s “7 Baby Steps” that got me out of debt, ya know. Yeah! :)
Other than that, I've been fightin' the Homesickness Bug…and from what I hear, it’s just gonna take some time before I really start to feel better. But the LORD is so kind to encourage my lil’ heart when I feel discouraged (2 Cor. 7:6) and by His grace, I see myself depending on Him more & more in this new season of life. I've been listening to a lot of sermons online (props to Pastor Jeff Olson @ Coram Deo Fellowship in Gresham, OR http://www.coramdeofellowship.com/) God has been convicting me of the importance of the Bible...that I need to keep my eyes in it and my heart teachable & willing to obey its truths. If I don’t, it’s a perfect recipe for discouragement, distraction and depression. But by His grace, He's kept my heart close to His. I’ve been praying that God would give me a new love for the Word...and He is faithfully answering that prayer! Thank You, Jesus!
I love the LORD! He is a good Papa, an intimate Friend, a wonderful, merciful Savior, and the King of the World!!
