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.

  • The Keys of Death
    “The keys of death were hung on the inside of Christ’s tomb. From the outside, Christ could do many wonderful works, including raising a twelve-year-old girl and two men from the dead — only to die again (Mark 5:41-42; Luke 7:14-15; John 11:43-44). If any were to be raised from the dead, never to die [...]
  • Attitudes toward the Cross
    “There is no greater cleavage between faith and unbelief than in their respective attitudes to the cross. Where faith sees glory, unbelief sees only disgrace. What was foolishness to Greeks, and continues to be to modern intellectuals who trust in their own wisdom, is nevertheless the wisdom of God. And what remains a stumbling-block to [...]
  • Dead to sin’s guilt, alive to Christ’s power
    “No sin can be crucified either in heart or life, unless it first be pardoned in conscience, because there will be want of faith to receive the strength of Jesus, by whom alone it can be crucified. If it be not crucified in its guilt, it cannot be subdued in its power.” - William Romaine, quoted [...]
  • For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven
    “We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven: by the [...]
  • Born a Martyr
    “The whole life of Christ was a continuall Passion; others die Martyrs, but Christ was born a Martyr… His birth and his death were but one continuall act, and his Christmas-day and his Good Friday, are but the evening and morning of one and the same day.” —John Donne, Christmas sermon (Dec 25, 1626). (HT: Tony Reinke) [...]
  • How to join the family of God
    “If, then, I believe on Jesus Christ’s name – that is, simply from my heart trust myself with the crucified, but now exalted, Redeemer, I am a member of the family of the Most High. Whatever else I may not have, if I have this, I have the privilege to become a child of God.” - [...]
  • You are my beloved child, in whom I delight
    “Have you heard God’s blessing in your inmost being? Are the words “You are my beloved child, in whom I delight” an endless source of joy and strength? Have you sensed, through the Holy Spirit, God speaking them to you? That blessing – the blessing through the Spirit that is ours through Christ – is what [...]
