Portland public transit.

Any of you ride the bus or max where you live? Since I got my job at The Bob Shop downtown I've been riding the bus to or from work (most days Mark will either drop me off or pick me up). Today I was telling my husband about the normal person who sat next to me on the bus today. He was holding Stumptown coffee, reading a book and smelled completely normal! It was fabulous! 
 Which made me recall all the weird / gross things that have happened the last 3.5 months.

 -Standing next to a pile of vomit 
-Seeing an old Asian lady pull out her top and bottom set of teeth and then spit on them
 -Stinky stinky feet 
-Teenage boy dancing & lip syncing while sitting next to me 
-Getting hit in the head repeatedly by the guy standing next to me 
-Old black guy talking very loudly about how my white ancestors enslaved his ancestors and how it's still happening today 

 Despite all my weird encounters, the Portland transit is really great. A bus stops at my stop every ten to fifteen minutes, they have handicapped capabilities and always have a good temperature going on in the bus. The buses run to sooo many different areas, and it's really easy to get bus times :)

 Have you had anything crazy happen on the bus/train/max?

to live is Christ, to die is gain.

The apostle Paul wrote those words in Philippians 1:21...God did some miraculous work thru Paul didn't he!? After Paul saw the light (literally) he traveled to Judea, Syria, Cilicia, Galatia, Pamphylia, Asia, Macedonia, Achaia and Italy. WOW. I've shared God's word....via skype to my bestie Nicole and...uhhh..shoot. What am I doing?! Yikes, I'm so ready to go, to tell of God's glory, to "Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and teaching." (2 Tim. 4:2) Its convicting to know that I really haven't done as much as I could be doing, if I died, I have no doubt I would meet Jesus, my Lord and Savior would know my heart and how much I love Him and my willingness and readiness to share Him with the world..but I also know He will stand before me and say, Look at what you could have had, if only you had come to me sooner, done My work rather than yours. In one of my earlier posts I had writ...

Weekend

This weekend M and I got to go to Portland and spend some time with my sister and her family. She has two little boys and one on the way, so every second has noise/crying/laughter. Joellen and I got to spend some time away (went to the mall) which was a perfect break from chaos. I did get quite a bit of knitting done and was able to post some new stuff up on my Etsy shop ! I also got three custom orders (yay!!). If you see anything on my site you like but are interested in a different size, color or color combos just let me know! Here is a peek of my new product!
