Goodbye.

I see your picture in my head (goodbye)
I think I'll miss you
But you'll never see me again


Today was my last day of work. It didn't hit me until I was walking inside the house going about my usual routine. Then I kept thinking "This is the last time I'll ______." It makes me a little sad knowing that he doesn't know what I mean when I say, "It's my last day!" and when I said goodbye and made him give me a hug that it would be the last time I spoke to him. I will miss working with him and his family. I'm really happy that I had the opportunity to work with him. It was a job I was totally unqualified for - I know it was not me that got me that job - and I'm thankful for it.

“[Some mortals] say of some temporal suffering, “No future bliss can make up for it,” not knowing that Heaven, once attained, will work backwards and turn even that agony into a glory.”

—C. S. Lewis, The Great Divorce, chapter 9.

Holy Week - Good Friday

Holy Week: What Happened on Good Friday?

Luke 23: 39-43

One of the criminals who were hanged railed at him, saying,

“Are you not the Christ?

Save yourself and us!”

But the other rebuked him, saying,

“Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation?

And we indeed justly, for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong.”

And he said,

“Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.”

And he said to him,

“Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise.”


That's always been my favorite part.

Weekend

(a)

(c)

(a) There were thunderstorms and it looked a little crazy outside. You can't really tell from the picture.

(b) $ theater in town. A friend came to visit and we went. I had heard it was quite the experience, and it was. We saw Green Hornet - I thoroughly enjoyed it.

(c) The most appropriately named sauce ever.

Creation's revealing Your majesty



From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea
Creation's revealing Your majesty
From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring
Every creature unique in the song that it sings
All exclaiming




Indescribable, uncontainable,
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name.
You are amazing God
All powerful, untameable,
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God

I never realized how beautiful it was this time of day right outside my window.

For since the creation of the world God's invisible attributes - his eternal power and divine nature - have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.
Romans 1:20

"Paul’s point is that the invisible is made visible via creation or nature. Divine wisdom, power, eternity and goodness, for example, are not in themselves visible, but their reality is undeniably affirmed and apprehended by the effects they produce in nature. That there is a God, supreme, eternal, infinite in power, personal, wise, independent, worthy of glory and gratitude, is clearly evident in the creation.

How are these truths about God made known and where may we see them? Paul’s answer is, “through what has been made” (v. 20). God has left the indelible mark of his fingerprints all across the vast face of the universe." - Sam Storms

Broken





This has been my go to purse for about 4 years. It's been struggling for a while. Yesterday as I was walking into the grocery store it just broke. Sad. I think I'm going to have to purchase another black cloth purse. Green and pink just won't always work. Too bad Old Navy doesn't have so many cool bags anymore. Target? Maybe? Bye, bye purse.

fly away

You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Anyplace is better
Starting from zero got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
But me myself I got nothing to prove

You got a fast car
is it fast enough so we can fly away
We gotta make a decision
We leave tonight or live and die this way

So remember when we were driving driving in your car
The speed so fast felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
I had a feeling that I belonged
I had a feeling I could be someone

You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so you can fly away


Ever have one of those weeks/days/nights when one song perfectly fits your mood?
