It is crazy that it has been 3 weeks since I last updated this blog. I hope to write more in the coming days. The past week has been spent in Cannon Beach, OR teaching at Ecola Bible School and it has been a tremendous blessing in several ways:
1. Our whole family is housed in a great little beach cottage and we have many opportunities for family bonding (basketball in the gym, hiking, beach combing, carpet balling, reading books together). I love my family. These family vacation days are never guaranteed, so it is all the more of a blessing when they happen.
2. The weather has been AMAZING here at the beach. No rain, few clouds, and fairly mild temperatures. The high yesterday was only 50, but that was the coldest day so far. I am convinced that there is a big plot among beach residents to fabricate stories of bad coastal weather to keep the year-round population here very small.
3. The students and interns here at Ecola have been eager to learn and very gracious to me and my family this week. I've had several really encouraging conversations with people and just finished one prior to this writing. I love hearing the stories of people.
4. I LOVE teaching. I am built to communicate truth and it blesses and humbles me to have this opportunity this week. I don't know what the future holds, but I am grateful for the present. God's word is so rich and I'm eager to share more about that today.
James 1 says that every good and perfect gift is from above -- originating from the Father of Lights in Whom there is no variation or shifting shadow. I testify that the blessings above are from Him and today I recognize that and celebrate His kindness to me. I live a blessed life.
