Happy Easter Everyone! :)
Today was started at 6:50 AM arriving at a theater to set up for church. Freedom Church had about 55 people our service in the theater. This is a big step for us, considering that we meet every Sunday in a garage with about 28 people. Our small church is slowly growing, and today was only a small glance of what is to come in our future. We are growing, and it is amazing!
Today marks the last day of spring break, and tomorrow is the first day of the last 6 weeks of school. WOW! Summer, here I come.
One of my best friends, Mariah came to Portland for spring break. She was here for a week and 3 days. Talk about having a blast! We did "all the things" in Portland. She said one of the best quotes I have ever heard. So simple, but so amazing.
"I am made in God's image. I'm a little crazy, so God must be a little crazy."
Isn't that great? I love it :)
Last night I had dinner at a professor's house. He and his wife cooked a wonderful dinner for Alija and I. Sitting at the table, we talked and talked. At their home, people can just be. We are truly human beings, not human doings. The most amazing conversation grew at our table (meals grow lovely friendships). Between 3 Christian's and 1 Muslim, we all talked about God. We talked about love, grace, Heaven, people, creation, wonders, questions, prayers, family. We all talked about how amazing he is, how amazing our creator is. He created nature. Without the sun trees would not exist and without God we would not exist. Lets just say, it was an amazing dinner. I felt God in the room, watching us. One moment I felt his presence, and you know what? He was proud of us. One of the largest topics in the world that causes so much fighting and confrontation was being talked about in love.
Now I will put away my computer, lay in the sun, and enjoy the 70 degree weather.
Today is beautiful.
