Hark! Who Goes There?!

Sooooo... I know its been an awkwardly long while since I posted anything... but I have been

rather busy as of late. My poor mother even reproaches me for the lack of time that I spend at home. I will admit... I have been busy because I have been spending a lot of time with my beloved friends.

And of course I managed to capture a few shots of those activities...

Tried La Bottega with this beautiful friend

Finished off the Savchenko and Germanov Graduation Celebration with the commencement of summer

Saw Jurassic Park 3D with these crazy people

This scarf model turned 22!

Celebrated Sabir's birthday with some loony friends

"She wanted none of those days to end, and it was always with disappointment that she watched the darkness stride forward"

And now... I'm packing for Australia!!! I leave on Wednesday and

would like to use this time to inform you dear reader that I will

be having some guest bloggers while I am away. I do not

know how often I will be able to blog while I'm trekking through the

rugged roads of the Outback and thought this would be a good

opportunity for some important people to share their lives,

photos, opinions (and quite frankly anything else they want to expose) with

you guys. This might be the last post before I set off on my adventure- so farewell darling internet scourer. If you want a postcard sent to you, please send me a private message with your address. (Disclaimer: not all requests will be fulfilled)

Judge Not/Love More

Last Sunday's youth sermon was truly convicting. And not just a "yeah, that was important" type of convicting, but really a "wow, I need to change my whole perspective and really hit the root issue here, truly repent and ask God to change my heart in this regard" type of convicting. The whole time I felt as though the sermon had been specially crafted for me- to really get me to analyze my own heart and realize how little I love the people that are truly my brothers and sisters. By nature I love to critique everything- I always thought it would be awesome to have a career where I get to criticize companies or stores and tell them what they are doing wrong. Unfortunately my sinful nature brings this into the way I deal with people. As I was listening to the sermon I realized that judging people was just my default setting. In my own head, to myself, I always concealed this as honest assessment or analyzing- instead of downright, sinful judging. When I would be c

You missed me, I'm flattered

Hello Peasants, multiples of yous have requested an updated blog post- like whyyyyyy tho? Please note the following reasons for which I have stopped blogging: IG stories now keeps all of my highlighted content from my travels I keep a journal for the deep stuff I have become more introverted and am very intentional about spending purposeful time with people that matter to me- basically all of the important people already know what's going on in my life. If you read my blog... well then, lets rethink our friendship But I'll bite, I'll provide a quick update of a few places I have traveled to and a few things I have learned about myself/God/the world/existence/life/people etc., since my last post. Alrighty, lets dive in - I'll try to keep it brief (skip to the end to go straight to my life learnings.) March 2019- Victoria B.C. Not going to go into detail but we ate a lot of good food and saw a lot of pretty things. I made friends with a Chocolatier a

Sacrifice

Following my church's Bible Reading Plan lead me to read Exodus 35 today and I simply marveled at how the Israeli nation was ready to sacrifice their belongings for God. I understand that there were many of aspects of rebellion during the Exodus but this specific aspect really caused me to think of how the society I live in views sacrifice and saying no to your own desires. I will limit my usage of the word society to be defined as the predominantly Baptist Christian community that I am surrounded by. I didn't realize before just how much we treasure our belongings and our freedom to have the things that we want. Unfortunately I see this translated a lot into the church setting. We do things and wear things and act in a manner that is a spiritual obstacle to our brothers and sisters and don't even give a second thought to it. Things that are not completely characterized as sin are automatically put into the "I'm free in Christ to do this" category and we don&#
