Though it's hard to let you go...

...in the Father's hands we know that a lifetime's not too long to live as friends.

(If you're truly a child of the K-LOVE 90's era, you should have immediately recognized the fact that this is a Michael W. Smith HIT simply by reading the title. But just in case you're not, you can see what you were missing out on and listen to the cheesy touching song HERE)

It has been an amazing couple of months here in the lovely PNW, but alas, the time has come for me to leave. I will miss everyone dearly but I also know that He who called me to Chicago, has good things for me there and I am excited to experience everything that he has for me.



Here are some pics so you can get a little taste of my Oregon summer.

there's a hope that never fails.

hmm, well after an eternity of inactivity, I AM BACK! These past few weeks have been somewhat crazy, you know, with finals and studying for finals. oh the woes of being a college student. But, Alas! Spring is here and its sunny , which according to the weather forecast is not going to be the case starting tomorrow and lasting a long time. So, carpe diem, yes? I have been thinking a lot about heaven lately and just reflecting on how my view of heaven has changed so much over the last few years.
