A New Day Is Here.

A New Day is here, y'all. Yes yes. A New Day, as in my newly accquired blog; AND a new day, as in today. :) I am going to try to blog on this thing every day. Even if nothing new is happening, I'm gonna try to write/share *SOMETHING* about that New Day. Maybe insignificant. Maybe an epiphany. Maybe a life changing event. Maybe a picture. Maybe a new song. Who knows where this thing will take us! It's a moment of pure excitement to not know where this blog will even go. A feeling of hope, that maybe together we can make a difference. In each other. In those around us. In ourselves. Incredibly exciting stuff here. I hope you enjoy the ride with me.

So for today...I'm actually going to swiftly go over yesterday, since the topic is a new day and yesterday started a new day for everyone. Whether you wanted him in office or not, he's there now and needs our support.

It really was a moving day, regardless of political views. (I won't use this blog to share my political views, just to be politically correct.) I will say that I was moved when I watched the First Couple dance their First Dance. It was precious and heart warming. (And I've got to give proper credit to Mrs. Carter for killing "At Last". She did a fantastic job!)

The color bar was broken yesterday and it was a beautiful thing. We are ONE, my friends. It doesn't matter what race/religion/sex/etc...that is all irrelevant. We are all human beings, living souls, with very real hearts, feelings, hopes and dreams. Love is a beautiful thing and can move mountains. Be a part of that movement. I know I am.

My mission in this life is to love. That is what we are called to do, so I will pray daily to be able to show love and grace to everyone, even those that have rubbed salt in the wounds.

Another great thing that happened yesterday was the Debut Release of Fiction Family. Fiction Family is a collaboration of Jon Foreman, (of Switchfoot fame), and Sean Watkins, (of Nickel Creek fame.) You can learn more about them here, here and even here. Actually, if you google them, you can probably learn all kinds of stuff about them. Needless to say, the record is brilliant.

As for today, it is a cold day, but the sun is shining. The snow has pretty much melted and it's not too busy of a day, so far. We actually got snow that stuck to the ground and the roads! It was incredible because that never happens around here. I took a ton of pictures on my way to work yesterday just to document our brief encounter. My sweet girl, Grace, LOVES the snow and was out playing in it every chance she got. I'll share those pictures soon. Just need to upload them. :)

We are celebrating a birthday in our office today with us girls getting some lunch and eating it together in fellowship. It's gonna be a good day. Hope yours is too!

In love and in Him.
peace,
Christin


p.s.
I hope my links in this post work. I've never put a link in a blog before where you can put the link in a word, so today also bears an experiment for me. I hope that experiment is successful.
