Christmas and Summer Plans
Contrary to popular belief, I am still alive and well. This is the first real opportunity I have had to sit down and write anything since being home. Our computer is old and slow… it takes a while to do anything.
It’s been good to be home back in Franklin, TN. I’ve been working at Panera Bread again - just trying to earn some money for the coming semester. Last Thursday and Friday, I worked a total of 22 hours… woke up at 4:20 a.m. to work Thursday, and woke up at 5:20 a.m. to work Friday. I pulled a double back-to-back on Friday - opened at 6:00 a.m. and closed at 10:30 p.m. (with a two hour break in the afternoon). Oh the joy of paying for college…
My family is doing really well. Wim and his wife Libby are in Texas visiting Libby’s family for Christmas, while Nick and my sister Julie are spending their Christmas vacation in Honduras, Puerto Rico, and a few other exotic places. I miss them.
As for me and the rest of the Codington household, we’re at home - eating good food, sleeping, procrastinating buying Christmas presents (it’s the 24th, and I have yet to buy anything for Christmas… way to go, Flip), watching $5 movies from Walmart, catching up with friends at Starbucks, going on bike rides, thinking about playing tennis, buying textbooks and making plans for the next semester, and praying about where God wants me this summer…
As far as the summer goes, I’d appreciate prayer - depending on where my priorities lie next summer, I could either stay in Franklin and work at Panera (and try to find a business internship in Nashville), go back to Camp Westminster and work as a horse wrangler or senior counselor (as well as maybe go to Spain for two weeks), go to Uganda for three weeks in May, or get out of Tennessee/Georgia all together and go out West (possibly Wyoming, Washington, or California…) and find a job.
I’d appreciate prayer for that one - that God would grant me wisdom, peace of mind, and trust and faith in His good plans for me.

mhm. I’ve been praying about the summer too. We’ll see what God has up His sleeve for us college kids, eh?
Hope you’re enjoying a very Merry Christmas with the fam, Friend.
