I was sitting in my apt today... just super impressed by God. I started looking around my apt... the simpleness of how He moved me here and provided. The twinkling fairly lights reminded me of being in my favorite memories... my walls on the left are covered in photos of new and old relationships, my boyfriend steve, my friends Jenny, Jess, Fionia, Tiffany, Alex, Ellie, Shauna.... looking left i was blown away by the prayers that i had posted on my wall in my prayer room.... prayers asking for Community, for Jobs, for growth in relationships, for steves visit over christmas, for a co-workers grandpa, for the prayer room in Bagdad, for my thesis, for the specific needs of a friend who is hurting, for the Stanford Boiler Community, fro my friend Sarah's newly started prayer room in her basement....

all i could feel was blessing


all i could say was Thank you...

I was overwhelmed... something was pressing one me... or was it someone?

and that is when i realized how impressed by God i am...

how he has marked me, how he has been, how he has shown up time and time again...

life hasn't always turned out like i expected. Sometimes things i have wanted God has taught me to lay them down, somethings i thought i never wanted to be about God has taught me to pick up, and somethings God asked me to wait for he is gently handing back....

By the end of this week, if all goes as planned i will move into the city and spend this summer living in Capital Hill. As i transition yet again to a new place, a new community, a new life experience I look around me and pray that i will be as bless as i have been here... lovely time, lovely memories, lovely life...

God is impressive...

Thank YOU!
