Alpaca-lackin'

On Tuesday I had the day off and the previous week I had met the owner of Columbia Mist Alpacas at work who invited me to come up to the farm and just kick it with the alpacas. Alpacas are my favorite so I couldn't resist the offer and headed up to the Woodland-based farm with my friend Kat. We had such a great time petting and feeding the animals- our time was filled with much laughter at the silly beings. I would definitely recommend going up there on your spare time- it lifts your spirits like nothing else. Go to Columbia Mist Alpacas for more info. Afterwards Kat and I just drove around the forested wounding back roads of Woodland and had an in-car picnic. Good times, good times. Here are some photos from our adventure.

Playlist

Writing research papers is no easy task. It requires lots of snacks, breaks, and temporary moments of sheer insanity- the most important thing though?- An awesome playlist.  Lately I have been favoring RATATAT.  Simply because I work best under pressure and their music makes me feel anxious and gives me a good boost of adrenaline. I know that's not healthy in the long run- but for writing extensive essays, it will do.  Click Here for what I've been listening to endlessly for about 3 days now

Doubt

This week I have been reflecting on where I am in my life and my level of contentment and confidence in what I am doing. I am in a CS Lewis book club where we are reading Screwtape Letters and it has caused me to be more aware of which thoughts the devil puts into my head and how hard he works to tear me down. I have exactly the life that I pictured I would and the life that I wanted and planned for. Along the way I had a lot of hardships, but ultimately God still gave me what I wanted. What is baffling for me is that the devil can give me so much doubt and discontentment even in situations that I know are right for my life. I realized that there won't be a moment in my life where I will be perfectly content and be absolutely happy about every aspect in my life- not without a fight at least. Reading this book has showed me how actively I have to fight every day to stay alert and listen to the voice of God and tell myself truth instead of listening to the lies that the devil tries ...
