Link Love.

(because who doesn't love some link love?) :)

pumpkin for breakfast. this pumpkin spice smoothie will have you in a fall mood as soon as you take a sip if you're not in one already! pumpkin is delicious, and what better time of year is there to enjoy pumpkin in a variety of ways?

i love this picture. now i need to find a friend to be my model and replicate it. it's perfect for this season which seems to be all about relationships and cuddling. ;)

wait by anthony evans. i've had it on repeat tonight. the lyrics are so encouraging! if we wait on the Lord we will renew our strength.

101 fun things to do this fall. if you need something fun and fall-ish to do, check out this post! there are tons of neat ideas to try!

this is a powerful quote for us as christians to think about and respond to:
In our lifetime, wouldn't it be sad if we spent more time washing dishes or swatting flies or mowing the yard or watching television than praying for world missions? - Dave Davidson

*more missions quotes here*

sign up to sponsor a child through world vision today! it can be through another organization  too...there are plenty of other ones out there. just make sure you choose an organization that is serving Jesus well and using their money wisely. you never know the impact you might have on a child who is blessed by your financial contribution to their school expenses. it's also a great opportunity to be a witness for Christ, filled with God's love for the poor and needy.

sevenly. purchase a t-shirt and show your support for young women struggling with eating disorders. the people who run this website are using the money they raise to provide housing, group support, food, group and individual therapy, life skills training and counseling to the teenage girls who need it.

listen to pastor brian williams' "a place called gethsemane" sermon. (you'll have to scroll down a bit to find it.)   wow. just wow. it's excellent. consider listening to more of his sermons if you have time...they're all really good.

and...it's friday! hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

love,
jess

It Has Descended.


























































Fall has ever so quickly descended upon Cedarville. Fierce winds whip through spiny tree fingers scattering brightly coloured leaves in every direction. The sky is a glorious canvas ablaze with deep unquenchable pinks, reds, and oranges. Naked toes turn rosy pink from the chill as students walk briskly to and from class and a mysterious warmth spreads inside of a lonely heart, brought on by a quick sip of steaming hot joe. Each day dusk arrives a little sooner than the previous day and the night sky lights up with a brilliant display of starry host. It is a delightful time of the year, except for the shadow of winter that is growing ever nearer...

Hope you are enjoying this season of life!

Love,
Jess
