chew on this.

i have two things to sustain your hunger for today.

number one.  i am not really a huge huge fan of Trader Joes.  not because their things are bad. all of my co-workers are pretty obsessed with it. but for me, it's just different from the norm, and i don't do well with that.  i'm a creature of habit.  i can't go to trader joes and get cinnamon toast crunch.  i have to go and get cinnamony organic grahams - or something.

BUT

there is one thing from trader joes i've become slightly obsessed with. and you should try to.





Joe-Joes.  my co-workers introduced me.  they are nothing short of amazing. and i want you to try them, but do know you'll be obsessed too.  they're seasonal, and they're lovely.

okay, number too.  as i posted in one of my first posts, i have just started a new devotional by John Piper.  this doesn't need much explanation, but i wanted to share with you, because it just blasted my mind. Check this out:

"God's will for us is not paralyzing frustration because of imperfection.  His will is liberating courage because of the certainty of our future in Him.  The "Not Yet" makes us humble and vigilant. And sometimes the road seems long.  But the "Already" makes us confident and bold, and reminds us that the road is short.  Jesus walked it.  And in Him, we are already home.  While we live, this is our calling:  brokenhearted boldness.  Contrite confidence.  The image of Christ on earth:  the Lion and the Lamb."

so. chew on your joe-joes and this excerpt today.  God is good.
