Fall baby!!!!

I'm grinning like a silly person the entire way home from work, a 50 minute drive. The Fall is my absolute favorite time of year. I must share why fall is so awesome :) First of all, the fall brings cooler weather/less humidity, for which my hair is thankful. Another great part of fall is that pumpkins and apples are abundant. This results in kiwi making lots of yummy pies and cobblers. Let's see..what else? Fall means that school has started, and I really enjoy school! Fourthly, I very much love the pretty fall leaves and hearing their crunch as I jump into a soft pile of them. Finally I enjoy fall because my birthday falls in the thick of it--October! God is so creative in making the different seasons for us to enjoy and recognize His glorious design for all creation.
"All of creation sing with me now, fill up the heavens let His glory resound." -Mercy Me, All of Creation

Weekend Hooah!

Although I'm exhausted from a busy week of teaching, medical exams, hives, etc., I'm so very excited about this weekend...
Tonight is the first PBF of the semester! Kimiko will be giving her testimony, so I can hardly wait! Saturday morning I'll be playing with the Lafayette Flute Choir in downtown Lafayette at the Farmer's Market from 10-noon. There is wide variety in the musical selection so it should appeal to many people. The rest of Saturday I get to hang out with Michelle Nagel. We're gonna make stuffed crust pizza, salad, and dirt pudding for desset. She is so sweet and fun to hang out with! Sunday is church, college class and a Welcome back lunch for all the college students (and those of us who are out of college but still hang out with college peeps). Also, I really need to vaccumm my car, Hoshi. Hoping to get that done on Sunday sometime. My prayer is that dispite the bussiness, I will keep my focus on Jesus, and serving others. For now, the hammock is calling my name for a siesta. Happy Friday!

Sanctus Real - The Story Behind Lead Me



This is my new favorite song by Sanctus Real.

Age not Direct Correlation to Wisdom

I've decided to blog again...I doubt anyone is going to read this, and that's okay. i have a confession to make. When i was younger (like 8 years old), I pictured myself at my current age, mid-twenties, as being a wise and mature individual. Boy was I wrong. The older I get the more I realize how little I know. So often I allow my pride to take control and deceive me into thinking I know what's best. If there's anything I've learned since college, it's that God's plan for me is not what I was expecting. The following are several areas where God is showing me to trust Him.

1. Health
2. Relationships
3. job
4. living with parents
5. finances
6. Spiritual Growth

okay, those are just a few categories. I am very encouraged that God is still working in my life. I want to live by Ephesians 5:15-17, and "live like those who are wise." So long for my selfish plans for MY life..God, take this broken vessel and use it for YOUR purpose and glory. May my life be a pleasing aroma to my Lord and heavenly Father. Selah
