Take My Hand

Hiatus

There are two weeks left until I graduate. Two weeks.
Two weeks until I say my goodbyes, and focus on summer and Agnes Scott.
In between now and then, I have Senior Week, yearbook delivery, Honors Day, finals, an AP exam, Baccalaureate, a graduation party of my own, my sister's birthday, my aunt's birthday, Mother's Day, several friends' graduation parties, Senior's Last Blast, and the graduation ceremony itself.
So, needless to say, I probably won't be blogging until after graduation...

Until then,
Natalie

Sermon Audio

Here is the link to the sermon I gave this past Sunday.

My sermon was actually one of two; my friend Philip gave the other. My sermon is last on the track, and begins about 65% of the way through.

The text was 1 John 3:11-18, specifically the ending: "let us love, not in word or speech, but in truth and action."

This sermon differed from all the other sermons I've given; instead of "preaching" I "told stories". I think a large part of the reason why I approached it from a different angle than usual was that this was sort of my goodbye to my home church; it didn't feel right to me to "preach at them".

Anyway. Go listen to the sermon(s) and, if you'd like, tell me what you think...

Life

This past week has been more than a little crazy for me...

I've been feverishly writing a research paper that is 30% of my English grade. I mixed up the due date and all of a sudden had three days to write it. But it's done now; I submitted it this morning. I find out my grade next Monday. So cross your fingers for me!

On Sunday, I preached my third and most likely last sermon at my home church. I'm planning on posting audio of it sometime this week when I get a copy of it. I think it went well. But, you can hear it for yourself and decide.

There's been other stuff going on in between. So, in short, life's been a tad hectic for me lately.

But, as of this morning I have no more academic responsibilities until next fall! I'm basically taking an Art class and Chinese language for fun.

There are 18 school days until graduation.

I can't wait.

Also, on a random note: I wish I were here this week.
