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.

  • Every Moment of Every Day
    “It’s no wonder that self-help books top the charts in Christian publishing and that counseling offices are overwhelmed. Our pride and our neglect of the gospel force us to run from seminar to seminar, book to book, counselor to counselor, always seeking but never finding some secret to holy living. Most of us have never really [...]
  • Our vileness & Christ’s merits
    “Whoever is afraid to see sin’s utmost vileness, and to confess the desperate wickedness of his own heart, suspects the merits of Christ.” - Thomas Wilcox, “Honey Out of the Rock“
  • How to fire the arrows of prayer
    “When the arrow of a saint’s prayer is put into the bow of Christ’s intercession it pierces the throne of grace.” —Thomas Watson, A Body of Divinity (Edinburgh: Banner of Truth, 1997), 183
  • The living guide to Jesus
    “The Holy Spirit is the living guide to Jesus. It is He who says, with power, “Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.” It is He who convinces of sin, who wounds, and probes the wound, and lays open the evil of our nature—causing us to know that we are corrupt [...]
  • Finite virtue
    Why can’t our obedience and good works serve as the foundation for our justification before God? “It is impossible by a quality of finite virtue and worth for an offense of infinite indignity to be blotted out and compensated for.” - Francis Turretin, Justification (Phillipsburg, NJ: Presbyterian & Reformed, year not available), 21. HT: […]
  • Rising from the dust
    “When a believer has fallen into a low, sad state of feeling, he often tries to lift himself out of it by chastening himself with dark and doleful fears. Such is not the way to rise from the dust, but to continue in it. As well chain the eagle’s wing to make it mount, as [...]
  • Our only hope and fear
    “The tares of ruin grow and ripen. The sand runs low within the glass. Our days are numbered. ‘Repent or perish,’ says the Christ. The sign of Jonah is our need, Christ, crucified and risen! The God who kills and makes alive, our only hope and only fear!” - Geoffrey T. Bull, The City and the [...]
