BUSY BUSY BUSY!!!

I have been super busy the last few weeks and am doing my best to not get burnt out. 
First of all... my baby got married!!! It's bittersweet to have such a good friend get married- I am of course stoked that Mariya and Yura found each other and created a family, but I am definitely gonna miss girl nights and cuddling. Mariya's wedding was so great and it was such an honor to be part of it. Mariya was the most beautiful bride I ever did see. It was super hot that day but we got through it and headed to the beach the next day. We got to Cannon Beach at around 5pm and then went to Ecola State Park to explore. We got down to the beach and played in the tide pools and stuck our fingers into strange sea creatures. After which we decided to climb up a huge, slippery hill and hike our way back. We got lost because someone said "this way seams reasonable!" haha. After making it out, we found a quaint little cafe for dinner, and finished the night off with bonfire on the beach. It was lovely. 










And that's not the end! 
Last Wednesday, my baby cousin Nina got married!!!
I did the centerpieces for her tables and that kept me very busy throughout the week. She made such a stunning bride also!


So major congratulations to all my babies getting married!

This week I am staying busy also because I have a mock interview with the president of NWHF- about which I was warned that it would be the most difficult interview of my life. YIKES! Also, there is a conference that is going to be occurring soon between NWHF and a partnering organization from Minnesota- for which I was asked to be the coordinator and take care of all of the logistics. That conference will be my last official day as an intern at NWHF, I have enjoyed this experience immensely. 
In the meantime, I am also applying for jobs, preparing for a friend's bridal shower, planning for retreat, filming a infomercial video for retreat, participating in a very active book club and still trying to breathe. So many exciting things happening, gotta stay afloat. Peace out peeps.

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&#
