Currently: College Edition Vol. 3

Thinking About: I haven't really had a lot of time to sit down and really think as of late. I have been so swamped since the last time I blogged. I just hope I get a little breather soon.

Reading: I am about to start "The Fault in Our Stars" by John Green. The movie was sweet and very heart-breaking, so I am excited to start the novel that has stirred the pot amongst many young adults right now.

Listening To: The song on my mind recently has been Holy Spirit by Bryan and Katie Torwalt. The message has really spoken to me. I first heard this song when I was attending Vanguard University in Costa Mesa, and it gave me the chills!


Watching: I haven't really been watching anything show-wise. But I went to the theater and watched The Fault in Our Stars, Maleficent, and X-men: Days of Future Past. Those movies were awesome! I really enjoyed them.

Thankful For: The camping trip we just went on with the high school girls from youth group. My husband and I were leaders and it was so refreshing to be with young girls who are hungry for the Lord. The cool lake was a plus.

Praying For: A job still. I need that job!

My baby brother, the graduate.

There comes a time when a big sister must elaborate on how proud she is to have a truly special brother...now is that time. I am about to get all mushy gushy on you guys because my little brother just graduated a few hours ago. First,  allow me to introduce you to this young man.

Brandon (noun)- a very goofy, out going, cool cat with a lot of spunk and although, at times may have an explosion of emotions, is a hopeless romantic and loves with all his being.

 This guy makes me laugh every single time I am around him! He is so smart and can make up random little jingles or raps where ever he may be. Over the years (once we got past the phase where we boxed everything out), he has become one of the best friends I could ever ask for...and Hank Mardukis. I am so blessed to call this kid my baby brother (although he is definitely no longer a baby!). I am so excited to see what God has planned for this man's future, and I am really praying that he begins to do work in his life, to mold him and shape him, as well as relight the fire that used to be in his heart for the Lord. He is going on to college next (school) year and I hope the Lord guides him to make the right decisions. I am so very proud of you lil' bro!!! I love you Dinos!


Until next time.


Cheers,


Bree

Kayaking in Monterey



Thinking About:
I am thinking about all these bills that are coming up! Oh Lord, please help us find a way! There is so much to pay, so little money. 

Reading: I am currently reading "The Lineage of Grace" by Francine Rivers. This book is absolutely fantastic! It is also the cause for my missing a currently last week. I was so wrapped up in the book for three days straight that I totally forgot that I even owned a laptop! 


Listening To: My favorite song this week is "Mountain Sound" by Of Monsters and Men. They have become one of my favorite bands recently.



Watching: At night, right before my husband and I go to bed, we put on Merlin on Netflix. We have already watched all the seasons before, but it was so good we started it again. It is a really cool show that tells the story of King Arthur and his trusty servant and secret sorcerer, Merlin. Merlin's beard!

Thankful For: The little vacation my in-laws and my husband and I just had over the weekend. It was so much fun and relaxing. We got to go kayaking on the ocean for our first time! I suggest you go kayaking if you already haven't. We were able to get fairly close to the sea lions in the bay and watch the birds diving for fish. It was amazing! God is good!!!













Praying For: The patience and understanding that all things are in God's hands and according to His will. As well as a job.



Until next time!


Cheers,



Bree
