17 has been a year for the books. And in true form, as the memory-catching, forever-in-love-with-this-life kind of person that I am, I'm stealing inspiration from Elise Joy who has documented two things on her blog, things & moments that have made her year before her birthday.
So without further ado, 17 moments that rocked my world...
...staying home from a Christmas choir concert to get the call from Rush Limbaugh's staff letting me know that Rush & Kathryn loved my music.
...when Christ saved my soul and the peace and joy I felt for the first time.
...seeing people that I loved walk into my senior recital.
...so many of the moments when I had my earbuds in and the new song I was listening to was it, the one I'd been waiting to hear forever and knew I'd want to play.
...the freedom of NO MORE SCHOOL FOR A LONG TIME IF NOT FOREVER.
...when the lovely young couple I waited on just kept making my night after a real busy ringer and then tipped me 40%.
...all the times I heard the words, "I love you" or "thank you".
...when one of my photo clients said to me, "you legitimately just made my wife's year."
...all the trips to old navy with my sister.
...when I sat down to play for choir and as Anne of Green Gables says, "her sense of humor was developing, and the speeches that would have hurt her at fourteen were becoming merely food for amusement now." (Anne of the Island, page 10) and just realizing that mistakes are inevitably gonna happen.
...getting my photos back from Rachel and just realizing how amazingly she had captured this season of life. SO MUCH JOY.
...when I saw Naleigh Moon for the first time and just. couldn't. stop. smiling. Adoption is the neatest.
...the wedding. every single moment of that day was just pure magic.
...every single talk I've had with my parents about Jesus.
...the moment when the light comes on and you leave the presence of God rejoicing in His goodness.
...the moment when I realized that life changes alot, and that's okay.
...the moment when I realized performing is so much better when you give the glory to God.
WHAT A YEAR. 18, bring it on.....
