The Rest of my Aussie Vacation Part 3

One of the last places we visited was Penguin Island. Although I would gladly sign a petition to have it renamed to Seagull Island. We were met by about 100000000 seagulls that chant in unison until your ears bleed. I attended a penguin feeding where I got to see penguins being fed (go figure). Although my previously held obsession with penguins has been terminated it was still cool to see the little guys waddling about. The sunset pics are from one of my last few nights in Australia when Kevin, Julie and I went to watch the sunset at Secret Harbour Beach and stayed for some stargazing as well. This beach is right next to the city but luckily there are no city lights there to interrupt the viewing of the galaxies. Afterwards we thought it was only appropriate to finish the day off by watching "Finding Nemo" :) 
The last few pics are already from my way home. The two second to last photos were taken at Sydney International Airport while I was stuck there for about 7 hours! And the very last one I snapped of the sun coming up as we approached Hawaii for one of my stops. I am so thankful for the opportunity to even go to Australia and to have people there who were so loving and caring that they would take me to see all of these wonderfully amazing places- THANKS A GAZILLION JULIE AND KEVIN!!! #iloveAustralia

More Perfect Days Please

I just loved today. This week I got quite sick and was couped up in my house for the last 3 days, only leaving my house to buy myself medicine, soup and tissues. I like to rest, but not that much. You can imagine how refreshing it was to get out of the house today and just go do some of my favorite things around Vancouver. Firstly, Tanya and I hit up Albina Press, then headed to Vintage Books where I always buy books based on their covers. Then we went on a walk at the waterfront, grabbed some dinner at Warehouse 23 and watched the sunset at Columbia. It's simple- but its enough to make me happy.

Endless Capacity

Today was the last day of the quarter and all I have left is 3 finals to complete next week. As I was driving home from PSU today, I was crossing the I 405 bridge and couldn't help but marvel at how much knowledge had to be applied in order to make something like that stand. I was already reflecting on everything I had learned this quarter and am just in awe at how our minds work. They have endless capacity- you can't learn too much, its impossible to fill your mind to the brink to where it's impossible to expand. It's impossible to even fathom all of the things that exist. When I realize this it makes me want to know everything- to know how every little detail in the Universe plays its part: even more I just want to imagine what God was thinking when He created all of these detailed mechanisms. How did He come up with all of these things?? This mentality points to the Creator of everything because I realize that anything I know is of no comparison to what God doe...

THE VOICE OF TRUTH

I AM THE DAUGHTER OF A KING WHO  IS NOT MOVED BY THE WORLD FOR MY GOD IS WITH ME & GOES BEFORE ME I DO NOT FEAR BECAUSE I AM HIS Got the encouragement I needed. It's so easy for me to start to feel diminished or weakened by the effects of the world. I very quickly start to think that my value lies in earthly things like my grades, my relationship status, my financial state or what kind of impression I can make. When those things don't go as planned I start to feel I am not valuable. It is crazy how quickly I am to listen to to the doubts and lies the devil feeds me.I put on a facade of confidence when inside I am broken and feel like I am insignificant, my mind runs a muck with doubt and fear that I will never be the person God wants me to be.  I start to believe I am worthless, or a useless Christian, he tells me that I am not enough, I must do something else, I must be better, prettier, smarter; he distracts me from God by making me think my valu...
