An occasion to celebrate

Hi everyone, it's been a little while since I've posted anything...Last I wrote it was an update of what's been going on for the last months that I've been home. I've been in a waiting period for a little while and I'm starting to get a bit antsy. Just tonight I shared some things with my parents, but need to clear with my board before I can share with everyone else.

As most of you well know on Monday was my birthday and I had a great time celebrating with some close girl friends of mine. We went to this placed called SIPandPaint (www.sipandpaint.com) and you basically all get a white canvas and paint a design on it. If you've browsed through my pictures recently you probably saw the painting. Some of you may know this about me, but I tend to be a rebel at times and stir things up. hahahha (evil laugh). Everyone else was following the instructions and painting their pot orange and me being the rebel I am decided to paint mine green :D. To say the least we all had a great time and made some wonderful memories to remember for years to come.

Another exciting thing I did this week was go to a Chris Tomlin Live Christmas Concert Tour and he started it off with a bang here in NOLA. What a way to start off a tour right??? All of the songs were up on the screens for us to sing along and Chris wanted it to be one big worship concert to our Jesus. He said "I'm not here to sing for you and you're not here to sing for me, we are all here for worship Jesus in this house".

During the middle of the christmas worship session Louis Giglio came and shared. He spoke on Luke 2. As we all know it's the christmas story. One thing that impressed me the most was when he started talking about the 400yr silence between the old testament and the new testament. To us believers it's just one flip of a page, but to God and the people living during those 400years it was complete silence from God. Can you imagine that for 400years God never spoke out? Wow, it hit home like nothing else. All the time I am complaining because I don't hear always hear the voice of God very clearly and generations upon generations of people never got to experience hearing the voice of God. It wasn't until 400years on the night that Jesus our SAVIOR of the world
was born a God spoke through a crying baby.
