Going to the Chapel

And just like that, my loyal friend of 25 years has gotten married. It was such an honor to have Kat by my side my whole life and a huge blessing to be by her side on the day of her wedding. Kat was such a stunning bride and it was so exciting to be part of her day. It seems like it was just yesterday that we were having ugly dress contests, getting in trouble during Sunday School and even having many edifying crying sessions together. Wishing the love birds every blessing as they begin their new journey not just as husband and wife, but also Kat moving to the other side of the country- I hope you guys love each other more with each passing day. Also, just for memories and for those who weren't in attendance- I tripped on the stage, tripped over my own dress about 3598 times and had people just casually standing on my dress as I was talking to them, what on earth was I thinking not wanting to hem my dress? Good times to be had for sure.

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...

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...

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.
