maybe i don't have the strength,
maybe i don't have the faith.
you brought me here in 40 years.
when i know this trip should take a week
i've shed my tears and shed my blood
been ransomed by the flood
and winter steals my songs away
in all of this i've come undone...

when you walk through the water
i will be with you
when you pass through the river
the waves they will not overtake you
when you walk on the fire those
flames they will not touch you.
You are Mine.

lyrics i like. *You Are Mine chair & microphone volume 3*

I really admire parents who are passionate about this future that will be
shaped by these tiny thoughtful hands-the hands to bring:
justice, love, mercy, grace, peace hope, and future to those void of all good. these hands iwll bring back joy, water, laughter, shelter, bread, gratefulness, thankfulness...truth. I'm so excited
for these kids because they are so full of life, so full of beauty, so full. of your goodness.

& thank you for what you're already doing in life and in the world.

thank you Lord.

today i woke up at 1
i had breakfast.
i remembered about the blueberries i purchased last
sunday and transfered them from the refrigerator to the freezer.

i got to hang out with Amy.
then hang out with my housemates. at the sketchiest little
amusement park i have ever gone to in my life.
i went on a rollercoaster and i didn't die.
not even a little bit!

i love saturdays and i love weekends and i love
my life.

i just feel super blessed to have the family i do
and to live in the house that i do...and i feel
loved.

majority of the time in my life, i feel loved.

it is such a great thing; grace.

this week is a lot different than my normal schedule of hospitality, kitchen, housekeeping...this week i am up at eagle rock watching three small-ish children.
reegan, keeana, and jereson.
amaaaazing kids.
its pretty sweet watching kids.
i even changed a poopy diaper succesfully! i was pretty stoked about it.

sometimes i feel like i limit myself, with what i can and cannot do. And lately i realize that if i want to do something, then i have to attempt to do it...
anyway, its been fun hanging out with the kids.
tomorrow is my last day up here and i get to chill with them all morning while my friends Jeremy & Keeley (the parents of the kiddos) teach.

Also, a huge blessing for me this week was getting to talk to my brother online while he is in Afghanistan.
go army, go.
<3

anyway, have a great week everyone!
remember, you are l o v e d

take my life and make it Yours.

when everything is falling apart
you will be safe in His arms.

*phil wickham* safe.


i like when music is exactly what i needed to hear.
don't you?

Work for the next two weeks....

i am really looking forward to these next two weeks at work...in the fall quarter i ran the hospitality department at our mountain campus...but didn't really enjoy it very much. It was just overwhelming having everything changed for me.
Coming back home after visiting my family for three weeks *SUCH a blessing for me* i am definitely ready to start working again!
These next two weeks i am running the department by myself and have found that my new best friend is the list i carry with me everywhere so as not to forget anything and i LOVE crossing things off the list! Even sunday at church was a blessing...we only had two kids 7&9 brother & sister and they were super cute...It just makes me happy to be busy again.
Last night we watched the bachelorette at my house...i still hate it, because it is ridiculous, but it was fun to hang out w/ the housemates.

Here is my latest fav for the week....
