Thankful.

A few nights ago my comfort zone was invaded.  Someone tried to break into my house.  I live in intercity San Antonio, and only a block from two seperate halfway houses, as well as a large homeless shelter.  These things haven’t made me nervous until now.  At the wishes of my dad and just about every male friend I have, I’m moving as soon as possible.  In fact, I’ll be moving into a new place on the first of December.  The move is bittersweet.

Nevertheless, I am thankful for the people that God has placed around me, and His perfect providence in my life.  I feel protected and loved from all sides so much right now.

I Corinthians 1:4 I give thanks to my God always for you because of the grace of God that was given you in Christ Jesus, 5 that in every way you were enriched in him in all speech and all knowledge— 6 even as the testimony about Christ was confirmed among you— 7 so that you are not lacking in any spiritual gift, as you wait for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ, 8 who will sustain you to the end, guiltless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 God is faithful, by whom you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

And a very happy 30th to my dear friend Christine.

Linkies

I have two new links for y’all.

The first is to my good friend, Michelle.  I’m not exactly sure why she wasn’t already up.

The second is to a very cool ‘green living’ blog.  Check out the Sustainable Scoop!

When the Lights Go Down on the City

I am sitting in my urban abode, in complete darkness.  My Willie is lying here next to me, sleeping soundly.  I can smell my chicken cooking in the oven, and there are sounds of a trumpet echoing against the wood floors. There is a great mariachi band playing just outside my window.  I’m enjoying the gleeful sounds of harmonizing female voices singing love songs in Spanish.

I love this city.
