Because, yes, my life IS that fascinating . . .

So I had this blog in high school.  It was very high-school-ish.  I talked about class and band and boyfriends.  But now I'm 21 (almost 22!) and I thought I'd turn over a new leaf.

First of all, for those of you who are wondering, the title of my blog comes from Sara Groves' song.  Here are the lyrics:

You are the sun shining down on everyone
Light of the world giving light to everything I see
Beauty so brilliant I can hardly take it in
And everywhere you are is warmth and light

And I am the moon with no light of my own
Still you have made me to shine
And as I glow in this cold dark night
I know I can't be a light unless I turn my face to you

You are the sun shining down on everyone
Light of the world giving light to everything I see
Beauty so brilliant I can hardly take it in
And everywhere you are is warmth and light

And I am the moon with no light of my own
Still you have made me to shine
And as I glow in this cold dark night
I know I can't be a light unless I turn my face to you

Shine on me with your light
Without you Iím a cold dark stone
Shine on me I have no light of my own
You are the sun, you are the sun, you are the sun
And I am the moon

Awesome song.  One of those "wow, she really just totally captured the cry of my heart" kind of songs.

Anyways, moving on ... I'm writing this blog mostly for my own selfish benefit.  If it helps you to know what I'm up to and what I'm thinking, I'm glad for that also, I suppose.  But really I'm the kind of person who really needs to organize her thoughts at the end of a day and write them all down.  I really like the idea of someone reading and getting something out of what I write, but I know I'm not that interesting. :-P

So, for my first post I'm basically going to just make a list of random stuff jumbled all up in my messy brain.  Hopefully afterwards there will be enough room for me to actually compose a thought provoking post next time.

1. I beat a video game for the first time this weekend.  I know, that's a really sad way to start off a random list.  But, hey, I was excited!  Now I can't wait for Mass Effect 2 to come out.

2. I. Love. Fall.  Seriously it didn't get above 70 degrees today.  Soon I will be in apple cider, crunchy leaves, holiday season heaven.  I am ecstatic.

3. Baptismal service today = awesome.  I really hope everyone was as blessed by it as I was.  I really enjoy playing in our new worship band setup.  We are all learning together and I hope that we can grow together to be effective in helping people worship Christ!

4. I start my new job on Tuesday.  I'm really ridiculously excited, but also really ridiculously nervous.  Prayer is much appreciated.

Ok, that should do it.  I promise, there will be more cohesive posts to follow.

Thanks for reading! :-)
