Here are some pictures of my new home (where I am living and working!). Things are going well at Starbucks, I am loving the people I work with and it's just great to be around such real people all from such different places of life. At WestRidge things are getting rolling for the summer. We are doing something called the Simple Church Plan for the summer. Which means that we will not be having Sunday morning "services" anymore, just once a month gatherings/barbeque's in the parking lot celebrating what is going on in our lives together as a community. Then through out the week we will be hosting House Churches where we will be hanging out, eating, and praying together. Really focusing on the foundation of what it means to be the Church without a building and a service nicely put together for us all. Relationships are already forming (we have been doing these house groups for a few months now and amazing things happen every time we get together).
Right now I am learning in a deep way what it means to search out knowledge and truth. I am seeking truth around me more than I ever have, to grow and to be a woman of wisdom. Learning that to have wisdom is to humble myself to hear from those around me and to understand what it means to be controlled by the Spirit.
"the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace..." Rom 8
"for attaining wisdom and discipline; for understanding words of insight...let the wise LISTEN and ADD to their learning..." Proverbs 1
"if you accept my words and store up my commands within you, turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding, and if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God." Proverbs 2:1-5
Really trying to keeps these words in my heart and learn to walk in the Spirit every second.
Love you guys.
A close up of the part of the flat that we live in!
You can see our yellow building pop out on the street :) It's right next to a pretty sweet Korean Church.
My store! Right across from NorthPark on a cute little cafe corner.
Great little patio area when it's nice out. (You can see the NorthPark campus in this one a little more :)
