Sitting, watching, waiting, wishing

My original plan, about two weeks ago, was to make a blog entry all about decorating our house for Christmas with pictures and all sorts of media... but as per usual, I make plans and God chuckles. So, instead, I'll tell you what I've been up to.

Whatever energy I've had leftover from STILL searching for a job, I've been thinking about law school and Washington D.C. and I think I've decided that D.C. is going to come before law school. I miss that city more than I've ever missed any place that isn't my parent's house. I miss the independence and the challenges and the constant motion. Besides, law schools are more likely to take students who have spent a few years in the professional world, so I'm taking the LSAT in February (and I'm GOING to get a fantastic score. Failure is NOT an option), and hopefully sometime in the next two years I can take a job in D.C.. I want to get the LSAT out of the way, since the score is good for five years and my study skills are still tuned.

Of course, after committing to sing (for the first time in public) at church on Christmas Eve (which is TOMORROW), I came down with a sinus infection. Again. I get them a lot because I have unusually large sinus cavities (which, ironically, make me a good singer) which are susceptible to infection if I miss dosages of my allergy nasal spray. Have I missed any of said dosages in the past month? Noooo... But that doesn't matter, apparently. I HATE sinus infections, because the only way to get rid of them is decongestants... all of which make me drowsy, even the non-drowsy variety. So I've been wandering around my house in a sudafed-induced fog for the last week. I'm finally starting to feel better, but my throat is rather dry and singing hasn't been so pleasant as of late.

Pending no more sinus disasters, I'm singing "I Celebrate the Day" by Relient K at our church's midnight service. I love that song, the lyrics describe perfectly how I feel about my faith walk, and for a long time I've felt like it was music I wanted to share with others on Christmas.

So I'll share it with you :)



Have a merry and blessed Christmas full of His love, joy, peace, and light.
