December Greetings

Greetings and Happy December!

This is my LAST week...I repeat...LAST WEEK for my Phoenix internship! It has been a bit of a rough ride, and just when I have finally settled in to some comfort and confidence in this place...it's time to move on! Such is my life right now. I'm starting to figure that out and to see that God wants me to cling to his consistancy and sufficiency when nothing else in my life is remaining consistant or sufficient.
This weekend, Rusty and I will travel to Flagstaff for some time with friends and relaxation after finishing our internships! We might even catch some snow I hear!

There is certainly NOT any snow in Phoenix, so it doesn't always feel like Christmas around here. Thankfully, our neighbor right across the street has solved that problem for us. With his elaborate decorations, I can never forget that it is Christmastime! Even at 2 and 3 in the morning when it shines into my bedroom window! Gives new meaning to the prophetic Christmas Scripture "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it", eh? Seriously though, I actually appreciate this guy's spirit and the fun of Christmas that this house brings. Plus, it helps simulate sunlight when my alarm goes off at 5am and it's still pitch black outside.

Lastly, a randomly awesome verse:
"In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to him who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverence. Although he was a son, he learned obedience through what he suffered. And being made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him." Hebrews 5:7-9
