Happy Saturday! I had a lot of time with myself today. Josh had a men’s breakfast he attended this morning before heading to work at noon. So I was able to get up and work out while watching a little ABC Family J
It was a beautiful day here in Seattle- the clouds burned off from the morning leaving a clear blue sky and a perfect view of the mountain. Josh and I were able to steal 2 pockets of time on the sky deck taking in the view and sun.
While I did spend some time job hunting I also enjoyed my Saturday by baking Raspberry Oatmeal Bars- delicious if you haven’t had them you are missing out, trust me. Plus I took some time to watercolor a fish. I am not exactly sure on the type of fish, it was whatever was in one of the many Seattle magazines we have picked up along the way. The more I do it, the more I realize how much I love watercolor. I am glad I made the decision to bring them along. I enjoy seeing the lines created where the watercolor stops and puddles up ever so slightly and the pencil lines the peak out from underneath the color- beautiful.
Tonight we had the pleasure of sharing the evening with a family at Mars Hill Church. Dave and Joy are the hosts of our community group and invited us over from some grilled hamburgers and veggies- yum. They have two adorable daughters with tons of cute things to say. It was a delightful evening of getting to know one another and hearing God’s grace strung throughout it all. Dave and Joy were also able to share what the area used to look like 5 years ago and it has come a long way- but still has so far to go. Pray for your community because it is not sinless and is not healed yet! It was nice to connect with some Midwesterners- they are originally from WI- I know a lot of great people who have come from the land of cheese J I hope that when Josh and I have a home of our own we can use it to constantly be welcoming people in to love on them. There is just something about being is someone’s loving home when you are far away from your own.
Thankful for: watercolors and good new friends.
I would love continued prayer for my job hunt and for my art. My hope is to develop myself more as an artist and figure out where to go with it and what to do!
Tomorrow we are double dipping with 2 churches. We will be checking out Rainier Valley Church for first service and Mars Hill for the second- woah I know, a FULL morning! But we are excited to make a final decision on where to settle down with a church home.
Sweetest dreams and have a lovely Sunday!
