A long-awaited update..

     It's been a while since I have posted. It was a very busy last semester of undergraduate classes at college. I had my nursing capstone class which was when I got work alongside a nurse and get a feel for my upcoming career. It was all very exciting. No finals this semster as I only had one other class. Another thing that happened was a new friendship with a wonderful young lady who is a child of God as well. It has been such a blessing to me.

     Since the first of December I have been doing a devotional that was written by Ann Voskamp (and in case you don't know who that is, just look her up by clicking here).  It has been a lovely study and such a joy to unwrap God's greatest gift for us.  The tree is up and decorated. We light delicious smelling candles up every night, all around the house.  It has been a great start to the Christmas/Advent season.

What makes a house, a home.

A home isn't made with carpets, windows, and couches.
It isn't made with bookshelves, dressers, or books.
It isn't made with the music playing throughout, the beds, or by the "welcome" signs.

 

A home is an empty building filled with people who love each other.

It may not be comfy, or even furnished completely. 

It may be the smallest building on the block.

But, the people inside fill the building..making it a home.

There hopes, dreams, and joy make the house a home.  

                  So, let us remember to thank God that he gives us homes instead of houses!
