+ Sundays are my favorite.
+ I'm going to be traveling soon, therefore, this day will be used to organize and pack my necessities for my one-week trip. This is kind of my favorite, too.
+ I'm trying out coffee. This is kind of a silly thing, but I went out and bought the cheapest coffee maker and some coffee to upstart this coffee adventure. I guess I just find a lot of comfort in the whole coffee thing in the sense that it can bring a lot of people together and many wonderful conversations can stem from a cup of coffee. So yeah, I bought a coffee maker.
I remember the other day, as I was waking to get the mail, I looked around campus as I often do and thought to myself, "Man, this is where I am. And if this is where I am, then I have no doubt that this is where the Lord wants me." And sometimes, when I'm here, I catch myself ungrateful for this season and desiring to leave as soon as possible as if I have the ability to rush this process. I'm always reminded to trust the process in which the Lord is still at work.
Yesterday, I had a wonderful conversation that lead deep into the night with a couple friends and it was one of the best conversations I've had in a long time. Literally, talked about anything and everything from learning to cook all the way to learning to be faithful. And as I'm currently in the middle of learning about the fruit of the Spirit, today's devotion was on faithfulness.
Faith given to us is a gift from God Himself as it says in Ephesians 2:8.
"Faith is the conviction that Jesus Christ is our only salvation.
Faithfulness is remaining in that truth and holding fast to the faith.
The issue is not "how much faith," it's who I put my faith in.
The fullness of God's purpose for each of us comes when our faith
propels us to offer up our lives for the glory of the Kingdom! Not
later, when we feel more qualified or can see just where He's leading
us - but right now just as we are! " - She Reads Truth
All this to say, I'm very encouraged to keep going in spite of the different circumstances in my life without measuring the amount of my faith, rather placing my faith in Christ, who is the perfecter of our faith and looking towards the reward. Let us live lives of faithfulness, acting on the faith we've been given.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
Hebrews 12:1
Summer has been relaxin'. Trying to make the most out of these hot days by spending some time tanning out by the pool/pond, creating lots of diy's, spending time with family on the weekends, going for runs when the weather is cool, driving - yes, driving, and ending my nights with soft music and a little bit of reading.
