Back In Dallas.



Hey Everyone!
Sorry for the lack of "blogging" I have done! But I am back on and have internet at my apartment! Woooohoo! Now for some updating. I went home for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Christmas was amazing with my family! Everyone was together and it was awesome! We had game nights and hanging out times. I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. Also, I got closer to my Mother, which is an amazing thing! She is one of my best friends. I love her! (Dad- you're alright! haha! I Love you!!!) Anyway! I got some great gifts for Christmas-highlights would be my drum stuff. I got a Pearl Eliminator Kick Pedal, A Custom Splash Cymbal, Shaker, and New Stick Bag! It was a memorable time that I won't soon forget! Now, I am back in Dallas, TX and it is not that much warmer, unfortunately haha! But, school started yesterday and I'm getting back into the swing of things. The only downfall would be that I sprained my foot last Tuesday going up the stairs to my house- (it had rained freezing rain and the stairs were covered in ice. Didn't know- fell and hurrrrt my foot!)

So, that put me out of commission for drum auditions, today! Luckily, I have very understanding Worship Department here and they understood and it was ok that I couldn't audition! I am still in the running for a position on a worship team here at Christ for the Nations! Also, Gabe (the worship leader at CFNI) Just asked me if I'd like to go on the rotation for drums at the church he's on staff at! It's called Trinity and it's an amazing church! A great pastoral team, and people there are awesome! I am very excited to do this for the Lord. There is absolutely nothing better than praising God with a talent He has blessed you with. It's my ultimate desire and purpose. Already, God has put a sense of refreshment in me. It is very motivating!
So, right now I am just relaxing and getting closer to God!
I am actually on a health kick too! I have been making sure I've been getting enough veggies, fruits, meats, milk, and grains in me everyday! It is very refreshing to do! No sugars but natural ones found in fruits! Feels great!

Thank you for all your support! I will be posting very soon!
