Nothing like sweet Egyptian Licorice tea and some love from my Father. Heart = Content.

He's at it again!

God has been revealing a lot this week. At small group we talked about seeing the Word through creation prayer and prophetic prayer. It was great. God is so good, and He speaks to us all the time!
God has been pointing out to me the importance of appreciating the people in my life: My family, my fiance, my beautiful friends. I want Him to continue showing me more of His love for these wonderful people I am so blessed to know.

Goals for this weekend:
1. Start a gratitude journal
2. Spend some quality time with my housemates
3. Relax
4. Knit
5. Catch up on homework... I suppose.

Little Joys

As of tonight, I have discovered some more little joys in my life. These include: late night shopping excursions with my hot housemates, buying new undies, long walks that end at Mcconn with a caramel macchiato freeze in my hand (counter-productive, yes, but who's counting, really?).

These things made putting off my homework SO worth it.

Something else I have to look forward to... taking engagement pictures with the love of my life on Saturday!

Tuesday Mornings

Once again, I'm thankful for my Tuesday morning with Kayla time. We have established:

1. Our God is like a warrior!
2. Jealousy is from Satan
3. We must take captive every thought and make it obedient to Christ
4. Puzzles are fun.

Prune-y hands, Warm Heart

Today, as I was finishing up the remnants of the dishes (it has really been a community effort!), I realized that my hands were starting to get prune-y. I really dislike the feeling of prune-y hands, but this didn't matter so much, because I was in the midst of thinking about all the good things that God is doing.

After a good conversation with Kayla this morning, I was thinking about the fact that God always works things out for good. When I'm reminded of the good things He has in store for this year, I get so excited! Also, after a short conversation with Anne, not long after that, I was reminded, again, of how God is working. In every area of life, God is working! Through relationships, through quiet moments and times of rest.

I just feel very content in this fact.

Fall

Let's see...

1. Thanks to my Intro to Linguistics class, I can now write using the International Phonetic Alphabet, so I feel quite accomplished.

2. The air finally feels like fall.

3. I get to see the handsome, Erick Javier Ramirez this weekend.

4. I am a little bit sad to leave the Harmon house in a few hours. Thankfully, I'll be back on Sunday.

Marriage

“The #1 evangelistic tool in America (the world) today is a successful marriage, because it’s a living miracle!” – Dr. Joe Aldrich, former president of Multnomah Bible College.

Through God's love and grace, we are going to get it right! I cannot wait to marry Erick Javier Ramirez on May 25th, 2013.
