My life has drastically changed over the course of 1 week. I'll give you a time line of how it went down:
Tuesday. February 22, 2011: Completed my coursework to receive a degree from Louisiana Tech in Family and Child Studies, and interviewed for a job at Dillard's.
Wednesday. February 23, 2011: Job hunted.
Thursday. February 24,2011: Met my oldest brother's girlfriend for the first time and got to see my friend Mary who came in from Juneau, AK.
Friday. February 25, 2011: Set up chairs and tables for Saturday, and went to my rehearsal dinner at Squire Creek. I spent most of Friday surrounded by my brothers, all 10 of them.
Saturday. February 26, 2011: Became the husband of Polly Thomas Pendergrass.
Sunday and Monday. February 27 and 28, 2011: HONEYMOON. new orleans. *Adult rated content*
Tuesday. March 1, 2011: Became the proud uncle of Luke Tyrus Pendergrass at 5:21pm.
This morning I was thinking about who I am in relation to other people. Here's where this train of thought lead: Who am I?
I am Andrew Mark Pendergrass.
Husband of Polly Thomas Pendergrass
Son of Tyrus Lamar Pendergrass and Patricia McKinney Pendergrass.
Son-in-law of Tom Thomas and Barbara Thomas
Grandson of Tyrus and Darlene Pendergrass and Joanne and George McKinney.
Grandson-in-law of Mom and Pop Bond and Pa Joe and Granny.
Brother of Tristan Pendergrass, Jeremy Pendergrass, Christian Dunn, Elzie Hollins, Craig Turner, Nathan Welch, Michael Plette, Steele Shippy, Tyler Wallace, and Matthew Cassity. (and yes, we all look alike)
Brother-in-law of Seth, Kristen, Scott, and Phoebe Thomas, and Emery Pendergrass
Uncle of Seth Aubrey Thomas Jr. and Luke Tyrus Pendergrass.
Big Brother of Sutton Davison, Kyle Johnson, Young William Stagg, Steven Turner, Josh Garmon, Kevin Prater, Daniel Shaw, and Matt Nelson.
Body Guard of Chris Hanchey
Member (not technically) of Crossroads Church
As I type this I just got a job. So ...Employee of Squire Creek (for the third time).
Resident of 109 S. Sparta in Ruston, LA
Future resident of Juneau, Alaska and Branson, Missouri (not at the same time).
my life has truly truly been blessed by God. I would without a doubt never have been born if it were not for Him working in my Dad's life. So since I absolutely owe my very own existence to Him....
I ask the question again, Who am I?
A debtor of God?
No, my debt was paid with Jesus Christ's blood.
Who am I?
I am a Slave of Jesus Christ.
I'm not sure if it's because it's cold in my apartment or because i'm SO excited for you and Polly Pendergrass... but I got a case of the goose bumps when I read "Husband of Polly Thomas Pendergrass"
ReplyDeleteSuch a good recap. I got goose bumps too! :)
