faith.is.

Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; 

it gives us assurance about things we cannot see.

{Hebrews 11:1}

we went in faith...

they welcomed us in faith...

now we pray... by faith... what next?

Faith is risking what is for what is yet to be. 

It is taking small steps knowing they lead to bigger ones. 

Faith is holding on when you want to let go. 

It is letting go when you want to hold on. 

Faith is hearing God’s yes when everything else says no. 

It is believing all things are possible in the midst of impossibilities. 

Faith is looking beyond what is for what is yet to be. 

It is seeing the Light in darkness, the presence of God in all.

date night.

tonight was unusual in the best way!
usually on monday nights we have dinner with some friends or i get caught up on homework i didnt do from the weekend... but tonight...
the weather was beautiful and i was feeling a little blue, so instead of company, or pages and pages of reading, nicholas made me an amazing dinner and we ate it out on our balcony as the sun set!
[my man is pretty awesome]
then we bundled up a little, made some coffee and headed across town to the frisbee golf course...
have you ever been?
I hadn't...
I was HORRIBLE!
but it was such a fun date night chasing my frisbees all over the park!

horrible form, horrible!... seriously bad.

Here's me trying to redeem my sad self.

I have a ton of photos to come --soon-- from Asia, but for now, because the last week has been dark and cold here in beautiful Santa Barbara, I thought we could look at my fall weather wish list =)

the jewel colors this fall are amazing!
