Austin

So the point of starting this thing was so that I could write, not just about what I'm thinking about, but to update folks on life in Austin.
Let's start with the city. I adore it. One of the delights of Austin is being able to drive around. There are a couple of neighborhoods that are incredible. The view from Mt Bonnell is breathtaking. And there are times when I will drive down a road, turn a corner and all of the sudden I am overlooking the city. It is beautiful. Its a good surprise and it always makes me smile.
Second, my job. Incredible. It is such a gift to finally be able to do what I was created to do. (not that i wasn't in the Lord's will before, but you follow). Being allowed to utilize the gifts the Lord has given me is a great feeling. But even more than that, being able to learn from all the people around me and engage in kid's lives is the greatest thing ever. I am so grateful.
Finally, my favorite time of the week. It's what I'm doing right now. Thursday morning nurture times. This consists of the youth staff picking a coffee shop in Austin and resting. Reading, writing, listening to a sermon...amazing
...i would write more, but its time to go...
