Fall time

You know how we sing songs about how Christmas time is the most wonderful time of the year?  Well, I'd like to start a new tradition of singing songs about how fall is the most wonderful time of the year.  Because it is.  The colors, the smells, the crisp air, the chilly bonfire nights, deliciously flavored lattes, apple pies and apple orchards and apple cider, and best of all....it's scarf season. :)

Obviously, I haven't updated about my adventures in a little while.  Like more than a month.  Because I'm really bad at being disciplined about things like blogging.  However, I'm still adventuring and doing things that push me out of my comfort zone and ultimately make me more brave, more bold, more humble, more caring toward others, and more understanding.  At least I hope that's what is happening.

For the last month and a half, I've been devoting most of my time to a really BIG adventure in my life.  WE PLANTED A CHURCH!  Soooo excited for what God is doing through Revolution Church!  (check it out at revolutionchurchmpls.com)  We get the awesome privilege of meeting at a music venue called The Cedar, and we have a great team who are all committed to helping other people to know Jesus better.  I'm sure there will be plenty of adventures born out of this one thing, and I'm excited to see what those adventures are.

A few other things in the last month and a half:

1.  I became a barista again!  I get to get up at 4:30am most mornings and make coffee for people in the skyway in downtown Minneapolis.  I seriously love it.
2.  I went to Taylor's Falls for the first time with my good friend, Lea.  She's pretty stellar.  And pretty.  And loads of fun.  I need to keep friends like her around, because they help me continue to go on adventures and continue to rely of Jesus for everything.
Me and Lea! Buds.

3.  I've gone to, and have plans to go to, so. many. concerts.  At least for me.  I like this new development in my life.
4.  I also live with this pretty awesome family.  Jamie and Joey, and they have three of the cutest kids ever (twins who are 3 1/2 and a 20-ish month old boy.....all with the biggest blue eyes and blondest hair in the world).  Those kids could get away with a lot of things because they're so cute.  I'm super thankful for their family and for being able to live with them in this time of big transitions in my life!

Take a peak at my updated list, because a couple things have changed.  And I'm pumped about them.  And seriously, who wants to join me for any of these?  For realsies.
