Date Day

I love Saturdays.  Why?  Because I get to spend it with Nick doing something either random, surprising, planned, or spontaneous- sometimes just us and sometimes we hang out with others.  Whatever we do on Saturdays, we do it together.  This past Saturday, we went to Afton Apple Orchard and walked through giant corn stalks and got slightly angry because we got lost in the corn maze.  When we finally got out, I felt like that feeling when you win something.  Kinda dumb, I know, but it felt really cool to finish a corn maze!    Here are the pics…


I Love Fall

…and photography.  Nick is very good at it.  He’s been experimenting with our camera recently.  These are some cool “color captured” pictures.  We went to the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum with our friends, Erin, Bobby, and Payton.  Sometimes the best days are spent unplugging, walking around staring into God’s beautiful creation, having great conversations.  On this day, I noticed: it is fall.  I looked back to who I was this summer, and something hit me; I am changing a lot.  Who I was a few months ago has evolved into who I am now.  I will continue to change and grow with each new day of my entire life.  Each new season is evidence that God is ALL about the process of change… seasons don’t just change overnight… they evolve from one to the next, slowly and carefully… sometimes through a lot of storms.  We wouldn’t appreciate the quiet sunshine or a rainbow as much if we didn’t experience the rough of the storm…I love that God is always changing everything… even us.

  • Accusations against us do more good than hurt
    “Neither let your own accusing conscience, nor Satan the accuser of the brethren, hinder you any longer from Christ. For what though they should accuse you of pride, infidelity, covetousness, lust, anger, envy, and hypocrisy? Yea, what though they should accuse you of whoredom, theft, drunkenness, and such like? Yea, do what they can, they can [...]
  • The gospel will always remain strange to us
    “To the extent that we remains pilgrims in this life, the gospel will remain strange even to us. Until the day we die, we will struggle to believe the bad news and Good News that God announces to us. We do not just naturally think that we are born in sin, spiritually dead, helpless, and [...]
  • It is Christ’s glory to pass over sins
    “Let us take comfort in the thought that the Lord Jesus does not cast off His believing people because of failures and imperfections. He knows what they are. He takes them, as the husband takes the wife, with all their blemishes and defects, and, once joined to Him by faith, will never leave them. He is a [...]
  • Love-based repentance
    “In fear-based repentance, we don’t learn to hate the sin for itself, and it doesn’t lose its attractive power. We learn only to refrain from it for our own sake. But when we rejoice over God’s sacrificial, suffering love for us – seeing what it cost him to save us from sin – we learn [...]
  • What Binds Us Together
    “What binds us together is not common education, common race, common income levels, common politics, common nationality, common accents, common jobs, or anything else of that sort. Christians come together . . . because . . . they have all been loved by Jesus himself . . .. They are a band of natural enemies who love one another [...]
  • Better News the Gospel Brings
    “To run and work the law commands, Yet gives me neither feet nor hands; But better news the gospel brings: It bids me fly and gives me wings.” - Attributed to John Bunyan, quoted by Jason C. Mayer in The End of The Law (Nashville, TN: B & H Publishing, 2009), 2.
  • The Faith that is Never Alone
    “The faith by which sinners are justified, as it unites them to Christ and so secures for them all the benefits of salvation that are in him, that faith perseveres to the end and in persevering is never alone.” - Richard B. Gaffin, Jr. By Faith, Not By Sight (London, UK; Paternoster Press, 2006), 105 [...]
