Unimaginably Blessed

A few very awesome things are happening in my life right now that I thought I would just share. First of all... I'm going to be an aunt!!! HOOORAAAY!!! I am so excited that in August my sister and her husband will welcome their baby boy into the world. It's crazy how much I already love someone that isn't even born yet. I promise to fulfill every auntly duty that is ascribed to me. Baby- can't wait to meet you!
Isn't she the cutest prego lady ever??!!
Great news #2 is that I have been offered an internship with my Community Nutrition professor from last quarter. I am going to be working with a program called Early Works that is being done by the Children's Institute that is going to be implementing a parent engagement program at one of the elementary schools in Portland. To me its unfathomable that I get to have such a position and get to work with such great people and gain skills that are directly related to my career. Life is very busy, but it is also great. Trying to soak everything in at once.

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 ...
