 Hello there. First I must apologize for my lack of blogging lately. We have been in the middle of some big transitions here and things have been pretty crazy. I plan on sitting down later this week and posting some updates on what has been going on in general as well as creatively in my corner of the world. I did want to make some time today though to share with you something a good friend of mine will be doing this summer. In her own words. "As many of you know, I will be going on a mission trip to India in July. I am really excited about my trip and wanted to keep everyone updated with what is going on with the planning, what I will be doing, why I'm going, and I'll also hopefully be able to update this in July while I'm there. I am only able to add 20 people at a time so please feel free to invite any you know who would like to know more about the trip. I am so excited about what God is doing in my life! My trip will be July 19th-August 2nd.

I missed things I was very much looking forward to because my body was simply to worn down.

Psalm 34:8 Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him. I have no clue if this message is for me or simply one I am supposed to pass on. So I am sharing it here. And I am planning on taking time to eat lunch, and spend some time reading my Bible. And I am going to take a meal to a friend tonight. I am going to taste good food, and good fellowship. I am going to enjoy the company of people I love, praise the Lord for His blessings. Find peace in him. And see indeed that HE is good!  And I encourge you, dear readers, to fix a good cup of coffee, eat a fresh piece of fruit, indulge in some good
