Discovery

I discovered today that my friends and I make THE BEST burgers any of us have ever tasted.

We plan on opening a burger joint and naming all of the burgers after superheroes...(guacamole burger = THE HULK, super hot burger = The Torch, EVERYTHING burger = The Superman, etc.)

You just wait....

The last few days have brought upon big smiles, sweet insight and some very rad realizations.

Beth and I went on a bike ride to downtown portland on the springwater trail (pictured above). It was about 20 miles and it was so much fun! I got some nice colour too haha! It felt good to get so much exercise. Endorphins baby!! Riding my bike this summer has really made me crave healthy food....weird....but then again i never said that I've been eating healthy food, just thinking about it.
After that we went to Beth's house and the heavens opened up. Bethany and Emily serenaded me......Most men only dream or such a magical experience. haha! It was beautiful. Then we went to Heather's house for some Good Shepherd High School Group thing and it was really strange being back around the youth group.....kinda awkward. Anyway, I had a great day and got lots of sun and ended it at Marty's house with Jeff, Drew and Jake.

I went to coffee with Anna today and it was so great :) We talked for a couple hours about everything. We realized how many of the same goals we have for our lives. It was so nice having someone to talk to about my future who really understands how I feel about it all. It was awesome getting to reconnect with her and I am SO excited to hang out with her this summer. You know how sometimes when you "get coffee with someone" and there is usually a lot of uncomfortable silences where neither of you talk? Yeah, NO weird silences at all! haha Anna is SO great. We decided that we are going to see plays together this summer and go to a few casting calls. I'm excited.

THE END.

These are His words not mine, I am simply a messenger. I hope they encourage you.



The ocean roars with shouts of adoration,
The sparrow sings his song of vindication,
Because my God, my God you have set me free.

I am not worthy, I am not worthy, I am not worthy,
Oh Lord, of Your great love.
I am too wicked, I am too wicked, I am too wicked,
So Lord why? Oh why do you still love me?

The voice of the people proclaims His great power,
The cries of His children call for His great mercy,
Because my God, my God you have set us free.

We are Your people, You are our God.
We are You people, You are our God,
Oh Great I AM who sets us free

My sister is beautiful.

indeed.

I want to buy a typewriter.

I want to write a novel on it.

Thirsty....

I had a photoshoot today. As I was going through the photos, sifting through which ones to keep and which to throw out. And then I got to this picture. I stopped. In all of the other photos I took today, I saw an absolutely beautiful girl. In this photo, I saw an absolutely beautiful girl who is thirsty for the love of our Father. She is rejoicing and dancing and praising as David did. I meditated on this for awhile and then the Lord gave me the following passage, which compliments the photo perfectly.

Psalm 63
A psalm of David. When he was in the Desert of Judah.

You, God, are my God,
earnestly I seek you;
I thirst for you,
my whole being longs for you,
in a dry and parched land
where there is no water.

I have seen you in the sanctuary
and beheld your power and your glory.

Because your love is better than life,
my lips will glorify you.

I will praise you as long as I live,
and in your name I will lift up my hands.

I will be fully satisfied as with the richest of foods;
with singing lips my mouth will praise you.

On my bed I remember you;
I think of you through the watches of the night.

Because you are my help,
I sing in the shadow of your wings.

I cling to you;
your right hand upholds me.

Those who seek my life will be destroyed;
they will go down to the depths of the earth.

They will be given over to the sword
and become food for jackals.

But the king will rejoice in God;
all who swear by God will glory in him,
while the mouths of liars will be silenced.
