So, the other day I had the amaaazing opportunity to have a portrait session with the lovely Nancy Ray. What a beautiful, talented, encouraging lady she is! I am so blessed to have her in my life. I'm soo excited about the photos! They're so happy and fun and nature-y and I love it!!!

With love and lots of happy photos to choose from for prayer cards,

My life right now is a whirlwind of blessings, giddy smiles, tears, goodbyes, etc.

I'm journaling a lot more... moments are precious and I don't want to forget them.

I tend to get a bit emo these days, so here I am going to list the things I'm looking forward to.

*A fresh beginning.

*Being able to 'nest.' Not that I'll have a family or anything, but I love decorating, and I think it'll be good to create a space of my own when I arrive in Europe. Eee!

*New streets to explore

*Lots of good coffee, from what I hear

*A job that allows me to flex my creative muscles and do what I am really passionate about.

*A people that I can't wait to get to know and serve and show that they are valuable and loved.

*Peace in the fact that God has orchestrated this opportunity perfectly. I can't imagine anything better, and the way this has come about is just unbelievable!

This will be so good. Note to self: don't be so sad!

With love and Jess Ray's new album (download it immediately!),

(This goes out to Thomas, who keeps me accountable. Ha!)

Written from memory, ready go:
Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore, honor God with your body. 1 Cor. 6:19-20.

booyah! Week one.


Currently listening to: Mad, Ne-Yo (I know this song is ridiculously old, but I just downloaded it, and I'm listening to it on repeat.)

I don't really have anything particular that I would like to blog about, but it's been a while and I feel neglectful. I also feel like I'm cheating on Blogspot because I'm working on making a new blog for Prague adventures... sorry Blogspot. We've had some good times, and maybe I will still keep up with you.
Here are some highlights in the current life of Megan:

1. I got my wisdom teeth out on Monday. I am awfully chubby-cheeked. It's embarrassing. I'm also sick from the meds and I just want to get better so I can get out of bed and actually see people.
2. Here are my New Year's Resolutions:
Memorize a scripture verse each week and keep up with them, writing them out cumulatively each month.
Create something once a week-- a special photograph, a poem, a recipe, a mug, a painting, whatever. And log it.
Drink a lot of water. It's healthy.
I figure these are all tangible enough. Not like, "Be more mindful of what you eat," or "Exercise more." Runners-up include falling into a responsible/healthy routine, learning how to be a good storyteller, and not letting boys ru(i)n my life. (You see what I did there?) All of which are good goals that I also hope to accomplish.

3. I am leaving for two months of training in Richmond in 19 days!! What in the world. I am so ready/not ready for this. I love the people in my life and I just don't want to let them go yet. But I'm also ready to start a job that I think I will love. It will be so good for me. The timing is just bad in some ways.
4. My mom gave me a little pot of hyacinth, which smells unbelievable and makes me very happy.
5. I like A Fine Frenzy. What wonderful girly music.
6. Here's some fun things that I've come across on the interwebs recently. And I hope you're not offended by the use of the word "hell." I think this comic is hilarious.


With love and talking about weddingy things with Bristol,
Megan
