Winter is Coming

I apologize for my silence. Live got busy suddenly, filled with all very good things. Yet, it has taken me away from doing one of the things I love most, sharing life with y'all.

Well, the leaves have fallen and snow is forecasted for this weekend! Where in the world do I live?!

This question has come up frequently over the past few weeks. As I meet new people, talk to recruiters and friends who see pictures posted online they ask where I live. I am living in the present moment, both with my mind and my heart.

I must this season up here invited me in as I embrace what post-grad life looks like. God answers prayers for community, redemption and provision. I am learning each day that trusting in Him with the day to day is just as important as trusting in Him with the big deal stuff.

As school comes to an end, the job hunt begins. I am pursuing two options intentionally. One will keep me up here and another I do not know yet where I will be.

I ask that you pray as I move forward with these decisions to continue trusting in God and knowing that He will guide me along whichever path comes next.

Love you all dearly and thank you for continuing on this journey!

Fishes and Loaves

October 2015

Acts 2

God still works miracles. He didn’t leave them in the history books where BC becomes AD. He brought them into the here and now-the living present day.

Today, God showed me fishes and loaves.

I didn’t get a train ticket on Friday, thinking that the stations would be open on the weekends. So I had cash, but just enough to get a train fare ticket. Now I prefer to have some extra cash on hand being in the city.

No bother, there could always be more but at least there was enough. Last night I found a $20 bill in my bag, that I don’t ever remember putting there. Great security money, I thought, not giving credit to God.

This morning as I got on the train, I opened my wallet to find $3 extra single dollar bills. I counted last night-there was only $9 in my wallet.

My heart is thanking God for these fishes and loaves. As I hand the $9 fare to the conductor ($6 base fare and $3 surcharge buying fare on the train), he looks to me and says $6. I hand him $9 anyway thinking he misspoke. He handed me back $3. So now there are $26 extra that God made appear! I don’t know of any person on earth who can make money just appear like that. He has us in his arms and in His ways!
