Nothing to say.

Really dont have much to say... I just felt like I should blog because I am just so happy and I am online. There is nothing urgent I need to say (well there are a lot of urgent things, but none that I have the time to write..).

I got off work tonight at 7, and it was beautiful outside. Crisp, but not freezing. And as I walked up Amsterdam to 96th (30 blocks), listening to the new Hillsong United Aftermath album... I was just so full of unexplainable joy. Every breath I took in was exhilarating, and I couldn't help but throw an occasional skip in my step as I walked to the bus. Being a nanny, my life is far from glamorous, but I have everything I need and could want right now. God's promises are being fulfilled. And to know that He takes care of every detail of our lives, if we let Him-- is just an amazing feeling. 3 years ago, nobody would recognize this me. This me who is totally and completely in love with our Lord, and this life. 3 years ago, I never would have guessed that I would be more fulfilled and so incredibly happy not doing anything but serve every day, at work and everywhere else, because I love people and I love Him. And that makes every little thing I do.... big. Nothing is little. Nothing is small. Everything is precious.

And so, I really didnt have anything to say, except... I love breathing. and Jesus. and this city.

goodnight world.

Also, I am posting a picture of a restaurant called 'Hot and Crusty'. I passed it this eve, and I have to say, I am not very interested in eating there, purely because of the name. Their food may be hot, and it may be crusty, but I will never know.

HELLO NYC!

HELLO!

Its been a long time since I have blogged, and I have been asked to blog more often, so here I am :) Last you all probably heard of me, I was in sunny California, basking in warmth. I am now basking in snow- a lot of it. I am in chilly new york city! I have been here for about a week and a half, and I am loving it! I have a love/hate relationship with the snow- but now that I have waterproof boots, I am purposefully walking through puddles and slush, because well, I can :)

I have made the decision, as of today (as I emailed my manager and agent) that I am going on a hiatus from auditioning and acting. It was such a difficult decision, but a necessary one. As I struggled to find the words to explain my decision to the people who have stood by me personally and professionally for years, it was like a weight had been lifted off my chest once the letters were sent. Did I make the right decision? I think so. If I am wondering if I should be doing acting anymore, that is probably a sign that I shouldn't be doing it at this moment in my life.

So far, I am adoring all of these changes. I am feeling God lead me in a HUGE NEW direction. For now, I am in SCHOOL part time (whoa! I know, huge for me people- but ya know... I LOVE it!) And I am nannying for a wonderful family on the Upper West Side. I also have a SICK apartment in a brand new building on the UES- with a washer/dryer in the apartment. No, I am not lying. I am feeling extremely blessed these days. This is a season of change- and I am not looking back. I am ready for this new chapter in my life, and all the changes and things ahead.

I'm super excited to get involved with Hillsong NYC! The first volunteer night is tomorrow- and I will BE there :) I don't care where I serve, I just want to serve. Because I know God has led me there- He will open doors where He wants me. That is a broad entry, a catching up of all thats going on. I left A LOT out, but I will try and blog more as I continue on this beautiful journey I am on :)
