Taking a break

Last time I posted something was back in August.  Time has flown since then.  I’ve been so busy with school it’s unbelievable.  Here’s a true story that happened to me over this weekend; I found out I had a 9 page paper due by tonight.  Praise God I was able to sit down and write it all and submit it on time.  It’s amazing how going through school, God gives strength to do these “paper marathons”… oh and I have another paper due Tuesday…

I am so grateful for friends and sisters.  Here are a few pictures from last Sunday when we went exploring Reed College.  The buildings and library on campus have so much character, feels like you’re going back in time almost. We also took a challenge to find the most random book in their library and read a page.  Here is one of the books we found:

A time to be grateful

By
Ecclesiastes in chapter 3 once said: To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven: A time to weep,      And a time to laugh; A time to mourn,      And a time to dance; A time to gain,      And a time to lose; A time to keep,      And a time to throw away; A time to love,      And a time to hate; A time of war,      And a time of peace. I’m very glad that in our country we still celebrate Thanksgiving Day and that God gives us peace.   It seems that the more we live, the more the world will be distracted from the true meaning of this day and become unthankful.   I’m grateful to pause and again reflect on the innumerable blessings and gifts God gives me in my life!   Seeing myself a sinner and the power of God’s work through the Gospel again confirms to me how much my Father loves me.   All praise to Him.  I want to specifically mention three things I’m grateful for: My amazing and supportive family: our home is the blessed enviro

It's Been a Minute

Well, its fall and life is finally calming down. Somehow, completely unplanned, I ended up with a fairly busy summer that seems to just have flown straight past me. I remember wishing summer would be over fast while I was in the midst of it, but looking back now I can't figure out where it's gone. I spent the majority of my summer reading, listening to podcasts, getting comfortable at my new job and settling into my new home. On top of that I ended up joining my brother in his coffee catering endeavors and really enjoyed getting to work with Lucid Coffee Catering at various weddings in the area. I've really been enjoying my job and am grateful daily for the opportunity to be in an environment I love, doing work that I care about and having management that cares about my success. I still can't believe that God granted me such a gift; after hearing from many people about their experiences, I'm realizing how special what I have is and that's it's

Psalms 37:7

By
"Do not Fear." "What? Not even a little?" "No, do not fear." "Surely I may show some measure of fear?" "No, do not fear." Tie this knot tight around the throat of unbelief: "Do not fear." "Do not fear" today. "Do not fear" tomorrow. "Do not fear" any day of your life. When fear comes, drive it away and give it no space. When the weather is rough, passengers on a ship can be comforted by the captain's calm behavior. One simple-minded soul said, "I am sure there is no cause to fear, for I heard the captain whistling." Surely if the captain is at ease, the passengers can be at peace. If the Lord Jesus is at the helm singing, do not fear. "Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him"   Charles Spurgeon
