A Perfect Morning

-
Today was a perfect day at the Farmer's Market! My housemate had to go to a soccer game so I went by myself and listened to worship music on the way. I bought my favorite honey crisp apples and the best sweet corn in the world!!

Then I decided I would buy myself a flower. I saw another woman passing me on the way to the market and she had done that so I said "why not?!"

Then I saw the gerber daisies and they looked so autumn-esque and my sister Erin loves gerber daisies. Even though she is miles away I bought them with her in mind. I got hungry so I bought a strawberry/ chocolate crepe and sat down by the dock with it and just enjoyed the gray windy day. God made this all and He said "it is good."

Willowbrook: Unforgotten

-
Yesterday we watched this movie in my class.  Here is the trailer for those interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liMhBbl7NDk I've seen it before in undergrad as well. In the 1970's Geraldo Rivera did a film expose on the treatment of over 5000 individuals with mental and physical disabilities who were institutionalized in this "school" on Staten Island.  I was once again brought to tears. Tears that wondered how anyone could treat human beings so inhumanely and tears that asked how God could have allowed such suffering.  I know He felt the pain thousands of times more than me because He knew and created each one of those individuals.  Some He would welcome home and some will have died never believing in Christ as their Savior.  I have no answer to this question, I just was pondering it and needed to put it out there for the world. Especially today being September 11th, I think a lot of people are asking that question - believers and unbelievers alik...

God Hears

-
Just be reminded today that He does hear and He does answer prayers.  He is faithful indeed! If you've been reading my blog you know I've been complaining a bit about the work load and feeling stressed.  Do I still have work ahead of me?  Indeed, but I have to say prayer changes things. This morning I prayed remembering that God is who I am dependent on, not myself.  That He is merciful by making me go do my work instead of giving me the day off, because in His plan He knows what fruit that work may produce.  I asked Him this morning to "take me deeper than my feet could ever wander, and my faith will be made stronger in the presence of my Savior"(see the song I posted last time).  Trials shall be overcome not by looking at what we have ahead to tackle, but by looking at the Unchanging God.  Our moods don't have to shift with the trials and blessings of life because if we focus on our Lord who is Steadfast and True.  There are so many things I...

More than Conquerors

"No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.   For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers,   nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord."  Romans 8:37-39 Sometimes I question if Speech Pathology is really where I should be simply because I just want to be with people.  I can't save anyone, that's God's job, but I do find great joy in building relationships and encouraging people and sharing with them Author of my faith.  And I think sometimes, I don't want to go to work, I just want to spend time with people.  Going out to lunch, listening to their problems, being a friend.  Being a friend is my profession, being a student of Speech Therapy is my hobby.  haha.  I'm not always good at it, but it's what I want to do. ...
