Isaiah 43:1-4 (The Message version)

But now, God's Message, the God who made you in the first place, Jacob,
the One who got you started, Israel:
"Don't be afraid, I've redeemed you.
I've called your name. You're mine.
When you're in over your head, I'll be there with you.
When you're in rough waters, you will not go down.
When you're between a rock and a hard place,
it won't be a dead end—
Because I am God, your personal God,
The Holy of Israel, your Savior.
I paid a huge price for you:
all of Egypt, with rich Cush and Seba thrown in!
That's how much you mean to me! That's how much I love you! I'd sell off the whole world to get you back, trade the creation just for you.


Read that a few time....let it soak in. Isn't it beautiful? We are so loved.

Hello there my lovely readers (Can I call you that? You've probably all abandoned me by now. I've been so behind!) I hope you are all doing well. As you can probably tell by my lack of updates, school is back in full swing. We've been in class three weeks now...and boy has it kept me busy! Heres the run down of what I'm into this semester.

  • Drawing One- Love it so far. I'm not good at drawing by any means but Erin (my professor) is so patient and great at explaining and helping us become better. A normal class day consists of 3 hours behind an easel drawing away at still life, learning new techniques etc. I was nervous when I started it but love it now.
  • Three Dimensional Design- I took 2D design last semester...now onto 3D! This class is all about creating design in a three dimensional area instead of a 2D flat space. It's a lot of hands on. I spent last week in the woodshop with 4 different types of saws, sanders and drills galore! It's definetly out of my comfort zone since I'm used to working in 2D type of design but it's a lot of fun learning to build 3D designs and working with different materials.
  • Graphic Design Technologies- The first of many graphic design classes I'll be taking. It's fun so far...We've just been hitting on some photoshop for the most part. Some of the stuff I know, but it's a good "refresher" so to speak. My professor knows Gillette, my graphics teacher from UU and they are eerily similar.
  • US History 1- This is a 3 hour, one night a week night class that just might be the death of me. If ever I have an attention disorder, it surfaces in this class. Covering 2 chapters a night is not my ideal history class but it's worth it to not have class on Fridays. (woo!)
...and THAT is the way the cookie crumbles, my friends. Taking 3 studio classes was probably not the best idea but I'll make it. So if I don't update as often...the above list is why. ;)

In other areas....

I'm still a "wanderer" church wise. Although, I think...THINK....I might be one step closer in finding my church. I visited the church that holds Kairos on Tuesday nights this morning and loved it. It reminded me SO much of my church in Jackson that I've missed so much. Not to mention, what's better than hearing Pastor Mike every Tuesday at Kairos? Hearing him on Sundays too! :) Needless to say I'm excited. I'll be praying about it. It's a weird place to be
in where you haven't had a true "home church" in 9 months, especially when you've been raised in the same church since you were five. but it's a learning experience, to say the least.

On another note, I had a..."friend"....I hadn't talked to in two years contact me last Friday. It was unexpected and somewhat shocking really since I expected to never hear from him again. I was sad to learn that he is not who he used to be in several ways...It breaks me heart to see someone who once used to be sold out for the lost, losing his way. What really...sucks...is that I have no way of contacting him to encourage him. He IM-ed me....and we talked...and he got off. so unless he gets back on (which he never does), I'll just have to pray. My heart breaks for him on so many levels...

Okay I'm a little behind on being the proud aunt! Here's a more recent picture of my sweet bug!
Is he not the most adorable thing you've ever seen? Goodness he is getting SO big. He'll be walking in no time!

Well I believe thats all :) I'll try to keep up with this as best I can through the semester but there's just no telling. :)

Love. Love. Love.
-Katie
