I need to pack for Yosemite. We're leaving early in the morning to hike and camp up there for a few days, 4 of my suitemates and I. I think we're doing Half-Dome, too. Check out an Ansel Adams photograph here:

Today was beautiful. I woke up at Shannon's house and we took a long walk, packed the car full of food and gear, and longboarded a little. On the way back up to the Barb (Shan lives about an hour south), we stopped at the Avocado Festival. Up north today was Ciderfest, so I was really missing autumn. But the lovely 101-N ocean-drive and some killer guacamole were beautiful gifts.

To top that off, Jenelle came, and I haven't seen her since February! So I met them down at the drum-circle, and we went to dinner, then Nelly and I went for coffee. We came back and watched a couple Office episodes in Trevor's room, with tea and bread, and Jesse really randomly said he missed hearing me worship and that my voice is beautiful.

I get so insecure singing- to hear Jesse call me a worshipper was really life-giving. Yes, I want to be a life-giver too.

And I really miss worship. Last weekend I was out-of-town at my cousin's house; this weekend I'll be camping. I need some Vineyard in me. I need some communion of the saints.

My words are so empty, but Adonai, You are so good. thank you.
