Cup of Jo

Jello,

A lot has been happening lately in my life: mission trips, camping trips, figuring out school stuff, Nialls being single, my mom's birthday, etc.
But, this morning I got to thinking about the little things that have made me smile lately. Here they are.

• Rediscovering old music
• Learning Regina Spektor on the piano
• Drinking Earl Grey tea 
• Hanging a world map on my wall
• Dreaming about all the places on that world map that I will hopefully explore
• Meeting people that are living in the halfway house in Portland
• Picnics with friends
• Catching up
• Saying goodbye to people who will go on to do great things
• Taking over a week off of facebook and my phone
• Acquiring a reading list
• Enjoying new music
• Chocolate covered almonds
• Toms
• Finding my brother again
• Pictures 
• Making cards out of used paper
• Rachel
• Learning from people who want to teach
• Discussing theology
• McAlister's Deli
• Hugs from my mom after not getting them for a week
• My cousins being pregnant again
• Looking at wedding dresses with friends
• David Crowder
• Drama on Jonas LA :P
• Only writing a blog when I feel like it
• Discovering new blogs
• Seeing Jordan Young & Family
• Falling in love with Portland all over again
• Future plans

he who created you, O Jacob,
he who formed you, O Israel:
“Fear not, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by name, you are mine.
2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you;
when you walk through fire you shall not be burned,
and the flame shall not consume you."
