live the light

So far the beginning of this year have been quite eventful. I just got back from visiting St. Louis again as I joined 1400 InterVarsity staff at our national staff conference.   It was beyond great. We were encouraged as we were told stories of how students and alumni have become world changers with Jesus in their campuses, communities, through trials, and even in their vocations. We were reminded as we develop world changers on our campus that we follow the greatest world changer, Jesus!                                                                                                                    It was also great to catch up with other my other intern friends since we have...

Hello 2014 This year I decided no reslotions since I never keep them but I do have some things I wish to do and small goals that I strive to acheive per season. Making goals for an entire year just isnt't doable for me and when the seasons change I have different focuses as well, so small goals it is.   Today I want to reflect more on this past year rather than make a list of goals, however blogging more is definitely one of them, oops I haven't blogged since September... On NYE my family started a new tradition of reflecting on all the blessings of the year. We wrote down our blessings throughout the year and opened them new years eve and wow what a blessed year I had! This has probably one of the most significant years of my life and I barely noticed!  Here are my top blessings of 2013 Urbana Conference in St. Louis This was my first time traveling east and boy was it dry, flat and cold! The snow, company of good friends and thousands of other InterVarsity friends, excellent...

New roles, new students & new scarfs. I have made it to my new home wohoo! I am getting to know the city and I have been slowly decorating my apartment. Students moved onto campus just yesterday and we have been so excited to meet them and start planting seeds in the dorms! We are planting five small groups on campus and that is no small feet. However, we are praying bolding and sending each other out to all corners of campus!  What else is new? Well let me tell ya! Today I officially opened my new shop Kay's Cozies! I have been making scarfs and headbands today and I want you to wear them, ya that's right you! You can find my facebook page here www.facebook.com/kaycozies Bear with me as this is a totally new field for me and I have not been able to go quite so high tech with online paying and graphics. Here's to fresh starts and trusting Jesus! 

Hello my fellow bloggers!  Lately I have been enjoying watching all the first day of school picks pop up, seeing fall fashion come back around and drinking hot coffee every morning. However, I am still relaxing at home and have not jumped into the business of fall yet. I find it crazy that I am not going to school and I am feeling sad that I will not be returning to good old Corvallis.  I have been packing and prepping for my big move and I cannot wait to serve college students and see God move on campus!  One of the ways that God has been preparing me for this new transition has been simply by loving me. I have been so crazy busy these last years and I have finally had time, well made time, to sit still and be with God.  This verse pretty much sums it up and it has been running through my mind daily  and it just might be my verse of the year.  Zephaniah 3:17 Let God lavish his love on you and let yourself just be, becaus...

I woke up to down pour this morning..... and I loved it! As much as I despise rain during the summer month, I have seriously been missing it lately.  Every winter I want to move to sunny California but on days like today I know I'm a true NW lady. There is nothing like a good book, some Michael Buble and hearing the rain against the window pain. I am also pretty excited for fall! I cannot wait for the everything to start back up again! Football is coming, the leaves will be gorgeous and I get to wear scarfs again! I may or may not be obsessed with them, after all they are my favorite accessory! Speaking of scarfs I thought I would show you a sneak peak of what I have been up to this summer:) These lovely scarfs will be available for purchase this fall woohoo! I can't wait to see you beautiful lovelies wearing them! I will be posting them on my new shop,  right here on my blog! I hope you love them and I would love to take requests of colors if you have any:) An...

Good Morning friends:) I'm terribly sorry for the lack of blogging lately to the lack of internet. Actually I might not be that sorry, I thorougly enjoyed being unplugged and laying on Cannon Beach last week:)  It is always good to be home in my own bed but getting up back to reality is always something that could be postponned.  I, however, feel fully rested and ready to go. I enjoyed playing games with my fam, boogie boarding with my sis, reading the word and and having my nose in a book constitently.  But back to work I go, work I thorougly enjoy though so that makes it all the better:) Have a happy Monday and remember that his face shine upon you!                        

The word. I take it for granted to often but this summer I have been craving to be in it everyday. I forget just how powerful God's words, his promises and encouragements always align with my soul and awake me to God's love.  I am so thankful to have such instant access to hear from our mighty God, that I can chat with him anytime just as I am. We are so blessed to have this amazing and active communication with our Father.  He is so good. So great!
