Spring Break

A couple weeks ago my buddy Seth had a great idea - let's pre-funk spring break! So, the two of us went a couple hours south for a few days to see friends, wander around our beloved Seattle, and just hang out together before we jumped into the adventures spring break has given us both. Aside from being together, Seth got to see his brother and I got to spend some quality time with a couple of my friends who I cherish immensely. Now Seth is off to Boston with the Industrial Design crew from WWU, checkin' out firms and schools, exploring a new city in a new place on a new coast line. I am heading north to Vancouver B.C. with the INN for a mission trip full of meeting new people and learning more about what it means to love and serve.

It was a great three days in Seattle with my friend. We wandered, sipped coffee, took in the usual Seattle sites (like Pike Place Market and such), had really great chats and just had fun. Both of us kept mentioning how great it was to just exist for a couple of days - to just be with friends taking the hours as they came to be just as they were. So good - cannot even begin to describe. And there are so many random little thoughts scribbled in the pages of my journal - I hope that I can find the time to take them and write something tangible for you to read. But for now, all I have is this brief remembrance of a great past three days before I curl up in my bed to sleep...

Please pray for our trips! Pray that Seth is safe and has a great time exploring a new place, that his conversations are blessed and the time he gets to spend in Boston is just fantabulous! And please pray for our trip to Vancouver B.C., that we will be a blessing and that we will be blessed as well. Oh, and one more thing - pray for the other INN trips to Haysville, NC, Memphis, TN, and Jamaica, and for those in Bellingham who will also be serving their hearts out. It's time for a week of new adventures - WOO HOO!!!!!
