My dear one,
A month has passed ever so quickly! The much anticipated snow I mentioned in my last letter did make a glorious, albeit brief, appearance. It is likely the only snow I will see this winter, so I savored every moment. As I walked down a quiet road in my neighborhood, with the snow yet untouched, I enjoyed a special time of morning prayer!
At the end of January, I and a University colleague gave a lecture recital at a out-of-state music convention -- another God-given opportunity! The event was held in Florida, so on Sunday morning before our return trip, we attending the morning worship service at Saint Andrew's Chapel. The music was most excellent and exquisite and it was very memorable to hear Dr. R.C. Sproul in person!
Also at the end of January, I finished my first Whole30 challenge and have been continuing to ride the momentum by beginning a second round! Very excited about improved health due to cutting out the foods that had been secretly sabotaging some of my energy...
Last week I received something special in the mail: my "Hike 100" challenge pin from Great Smoky Mountains National Park! It was so inspiring to complete the 100-mile challenge during the centennial celebration of the National Park Service. Here's to even more miles in 2017!
I continue to think about you with every breathtaking sunset I view. How lovely it would be to show you around this small city someday! Honestly, I haven't explored many of the restaurants and coffeeshops... but they are there in abundance, waiting for us.
Wishing you a beautiful weekend of God's continued blessings... wherever you are are, my dear one!
With much prayer and hope,
Your Evenstar
