the first day at FWCS and all i want to do is get in the kitchen and create something. i can't wait to see some of their classes and join in on all the fun. cooking is definitely an interest of mine. question now? do i continue on? pastry? culinary?
lots of ?s to ponder and all i need to do is study for a dumb research test. yuck. tests. gross.
it's coming down to the end and i am feeling it. hardwork straight ahead. luckily i have some people in my life that make me remember that it is a joy to be able to enjoy fishing, eating sweettart candy one at a time, and listen to the music really loud.
thank you lord for giving me a new day. one that i can say was so successful. i am so tired. but good. now onto a week's worth of stuff...but all i want to do is cook.

one day closer to the rest of my life...
no not a spa day full of pampering, but of food prepping and learning new presentation styles.
today was the second full day of no gum. it was difficult after my morning cup of coffee, but as soon as i got my mind off of it and on to MORE important things...it was fine.
i read this morning in The Beautiful Fight about mindfulness in Christ (as i was eating breakfast and drying my hair)...who says you can't multi task? the book makes some great points about our habits of listening, but not really listening. thinking, but not really thinking.
i challenged myself today---to try to see past the complaining and other typical habits of humans, and see the person (talking) the way Jesus sees him/her. there were many people (at the spa) that i encountered that were worrying and suffering from worldliness (weight issues, self-motivation issues, poor self-esteem...the list goes on and on). but at the end of the day, i came home...singing as loud as i could in the honda...relieving myself from all the cares of the long day. thank you LORD for giving me eyes to see, ears to hear, and a mind (oh such a complex thing) that can think. please allow these senses to work in unison, as i make big choices in my life soon...
i love realization.
it's a splendid time in life where God is closest.

5 interesting things and a love story...
1. I have given up gum for a while. For those of you who know me, this is huge. I did it today. God was even on my side. He wouldn't let me find any in Mom's purse during service.
2. I want to grow an organic garden...soon.
3. I can't wait for Josh to get here in 3 days and Sarah in 4.
4. I bought an all organic book today...it's a new fave of mine. So, now I have two great reads in progress...the other "The Beautiful Fight."
5. Job hunting takes work...lots of work.
~Bonus: I pray that Courtney is healthy and has baby Kathleen just at the right time. :)
I love Jesus with my heart and soul. Tell Him what He means to you today.

A glimpse into break
A sweet sweet sunset when we were headed back to the truck.
Just my first catch EVER. This day was so great.
Thanks to the sweetest person- he knows how to take great fish pictures.

daily awakening
i have learned that i will never have the mind that i need...
i long to be in his image
to have the very thoughts that he has
the very dreams that he has
the ears he listens with
the eyes he sees from
the voice he speaks with
the very breath that he breathes on all creation
let the words i speak be of grace and mercy...full of grace means something to me
hannah= full of grace.
"a solid name" i was told of my name at the job fair yesterday.
Lord,
guide me in your path.
let your unending light shine on me and through me today.
as i enjoy the end of a break, let your Holy Spirit equip me with readiness and stability for the rest of the time i am at school and in the life that i live now.
Amen.
