I wonder what hobbies I'll take up as I'm growing older (ohkay, I am only twenty, but still). My dad watches birds, excuse me--Chickadees-- outside the window of our computer room. And I quote, "Holy smokes! Gotta pull out one of my books to identify this bird ", bird map in hand. I think I get my love of nature from him. I'm not an avid bird watcher quite yet, but.. time will tell. Either way, I love that he appreciates the creation.
Mom is in her room chatting up a storm. I'm waiting on her so we can finish buying a few last minute Christmas gifts. This year I attempted to be crafty and create gifts for a few people, and I must say, it's way more rewarding, and relaxing. Unless you try to crochet and fail miserably (whoops). Teaching me some serious patience and perseverance--yes, I'm still referring to crocheting, haha. Gosh. For some reason I thought it'd be a really genius idea to take up multiple new hobbies at once. All of which I had no previous gifts or special talents to make me think I'd somehow succeed. 1) Guitar -- it's coming along. slowly, but surely, 2) Crocheting-- think I already addressed this... :(, and 3) Piano -- I took lessons in 3rd grade, does that count as previous experience? Honestly, I think it's just that I suddenly have free time, so I feel like I should make the most of it. My family thinks I'm going crazy. Either that, or turning into a Grandma. Hm.
I cannot believe it's almost Christmas again. This year feels different, though. Less focused on the stress of it all, and more focused on... (yes I'm saying it) The reason for the Season. It's been sweet to see my family grow in just one years time. So much to give thanks for, but still so many aspects to be persistent in praying about. It's simple to just not pray for things that are going well in life, but those things are so much more apt to be corrupted; should be praying all the more for them, huh?
Incorrupt love.
I'd never heard it mentioned like that..
