Day #6//He is good and He does good.

Great is His love towards us, the faithfulness of the Lord endures.

Nothing particularly special about today other than the fact that tomorrow is the last day of the fast. I went to prayer tonight and was just reminded of God's goodness. HE IS GOOD. Can I get an amen?!

For those of you who don't know, Matt Chandler is my favorite pastor in the whole world. Literally the ENTIRE world. Today I was listening to a sermon out of a series that he is doing on Habakkuk(I know, right?) and God totally rocked me with something he said. I literally re-winded it 3 times. With regard to the bad things that happen to us he said these things are not punishment from God. How do we know? Because ALL of Gods wrath towards me was absorbed on the cross when Jesus hung on it. So I have nothing on my life but mercy and grace. And this road of mine? Wherever it leads and however it leads, has everything to do with God's glory and my joy. Selah.

However, unlike Oregon, the weather was probably 75 degrees--something I was NOT used to. Luckily, I didn't have to spend too much time in the rain because my shuttle driver had arrived on time and was ready to whisk me off to my hotel in the 'burbs. *here is some free advice: when traveling to somewhere you are not familiar with like, say, CHICAGO, check to see if the airport has a shuttle service--that way you do not have to pay up the wazoo in taxi fares.  After a somewhat awkward ride in the shuttle bus,(while taking a shuttle may be the cheaper option, keep in mind that you get what you pay for. In my case, since the driver was not expect...

California, here we come...

Tomorrow morning, me and 3 of some of my favorite people will be roadtrippin' it down to the Golden State of California (specifically San Fran) for 3 days. We have no agenda really which is incredibly exciting. We see it as a ripe opportunity to be lead by the Spirit for a few days as we fellowship with people as well as enjoy each other AND God's creation. Ironically, though, it is supposed to be hotter here than it will be in San Francisco which is sort of counter-intuitive but as my dear friend Alexis says, "It's all good!"
