Believe me, I have no trouble keeping updated on other people's blogs, twitter, Facebook pages, etc. but keeping up with my own? Now there is a struggle bus if I've ever seen one.
So, after several unsuccessful attempts, why not try again?
Summer is here which means two things: lots of free time and lots of work. (Sounds contradictory, I know)
Either I'm working as a lovely receptionist (which is a glorified phone-answering machine that occasionally answers emails and schedules conference room) OR I'm watching some show on Netflix whilst knitting away furiously.
I'm already losing you, aren't I?
This summer will be incredible for a few reasons:
- I'm working at Camp Greystone for the majority of the summer (end of May to middle of August)
- Through said camp, I'll be in the mountains for a good portion of summer which leads to lotssssa time with Jesus - YES.
- Also through camp I will be teaching cooking! HOW FUN IS THAT.
- (Fingers crossed!) Sometime this summer I'll be donating bone marrow to a woman that needs it through an awesome bone marrow matching organization called DKMS
- Knitting beast I am. Current project is a lovely Weasley sweater for one of my best friends! (But seriously, been working on it for a month - IT WILL NOT END)
Join me!
Hi! I'm Emily and this is where I ramble. I love Jesus, Dutch Blitz (a fantastically wonderful and competitive card game), Iced Coffee (splash of skim milk and two splenda please!), and knitting (who doesn't love a good knit hat?). Join me as I stumble through life and the hilarity that ensues.

J.R.E.A.M.
A few weeks ago I met this guy in the HUB, who was a Christian, and had recently started a club of sorts that held events on Saturday nights for students who wanted to have something to do on Saturday nights - but didn't want to go out and drink. An alternative activity per say.
The club has song long acronym name - of which it the last word was JREAM, pronounced "dream" (Jesus Rules Everything Around Me), a remake of the Wu-Tang Clan C.R.E.A.M. (Cash Rules Everything Around Me).
Meeting this kid and hearing his story happened a few weeks ago, but I can't get this phrase out of my head. Jesus Rules Everything Around Me. It's been really testing my reliance on God and wanted to see if fact Jesus does rule everything around me or if I'm just pretending that's true.
One of the big areas I've struggled with recently is relying on God for financial support for Haiti. I'm so close to have raised the entire thing and I want to throw my own funds in to cap it off, but I need to rely on God through this. I need to be fervently in prayer trusting that He will provide.
I know while I'm in Haiti my spiritual strength will be tested even further. God is going to stretch me - I can feel it. And frankly, I'm terrified.
