Day Four...

   Today was settling in day and preparing for school and getting the house ready for my international roommates, one of which gets here this Sunday from England. Another one is coming from Germany, not sure when he'll arrive because he's working out getting his visa for the US.   
   This morning started off with the delivery of my new dresser, given to me from a young couple who live about 45 minutes North of me in Lynnwood WA, and they attend Mars Hill Shoreline. Great couple, didn't even want any money for gas. Total blessing! Thank you Jesus, for Your faithfulness. Everyone I've met up here is so loving and has such a sense of community and family. 
   Then I mowed the lawn and hung out here and studied. I signed my rental agreement, which expires July 31st, 2011, so I'm officially here for the next year!! I'm trying to take on a sense of ownership in this house, and thanks to living with Dave for the past 7 months, I'll be able to take care of the house and make it look nice and be a good steward of what Jesus has entrusted to me. I took some pictures of inside the church this afternoon, and I'm looking forward to a movie and dinner tomorrow night! I got invited over to Ryan and his wife's house to watch "Legion", have dinner, and discuss theology. We're going to start having Film & Theology nights here at West Seattle, and our goal is to eventually have childcare so it can be a date night for the adults, where they can have some wine or beer (this is Seattle and we are Reformed after all!), cheese, and enjoy a movie while their children are downstairs playing. This body of believers is very pro-relationship and marriage, and encourage date nights. We have a Biblical Parentint Conference coming up the end of August up at Ballard I'm going to try to get to. 
   Enjoy the pics, more tomorrow...

  1. You are going to need a bigger house as you are already growing in your faith etc. :)

  2. May I use your image of piano and the Cross on youtube, etc. to represent my Christian music? I am a worship musician in upstate NY and a humble servant of Jesus Christ. Thanks!
