Our family travels to Mexico

By
Wow, I can’t believe I actually have a free moment to sit down and share with you all a vacation I took over 3 weeks ago.  First things first, praise God I’m officially done with this semester and am now enjoying winter break.  This semester was really demanding and I wrote so many papers I honestly lost track. 

Our family flew out of rainy Washington and into sunny Mexico and stayed there over a week.  Our resort was all inclusive and wow, we tried so many good foods, fruits and smoothies...  Every night we went out for dinner at different restaurants located on our resort, including Japanese, Italian, international, Mexican and Brazilian!  We spent much of the days swimming in the warm Caribbean waters, reading books under the sun, snorkeling and exploring.   We also went on two different tours around the area.  One was to Chichen Itza, a place the Mayan people lived and built their pyramids.  It was eye opening to learn so much history about a civilization so lost in the darkness of their thought and heart.  Really made all of us appreciate how God opened our eyes to the truth and His light.  The second tour Anna and I went to was called Xplor.  Oh my, we spent the day zip lining above and through the jungle trees, swimming through underground caves, rafting and four wheeling through puddles, caves and jungle trails. 

Overall, the time we had together was so refreshing and I’m so grateful for the opportunity to have spent it with those I love most.

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
