Confessions

Posted by Sarah

I shall, from time to time, write confession posts; small truths about myself that may or may not be common knowledge. I will number them in no particular order to their significance but as a fun way to break the monotony that can occur when a list starts with the number one.

For example: Confession #13 I freaking LOVE Christmas!

Not just for the stockings and Santa and carols and presents and lights and joy but because, whether it is acknowledged or not, this is the season to celebrate Jesus, my savior, my best friend! I have great pity for those who don’t love Christmas and those who miss the point completely.

Another example: Confession #7 I HATE Chocolate!

Not just an “I prefer to eat things more than chocolate” but an all out “I feel nauseated when I smell chocolate and think people that do like chocolate are the ones who have a problem” hate. And I don’t use hate often or lightly.

Hopefully that will whet your appetite for the confession posts that will be coming your way in the future. In fact, I think I have one up my sleeve that I will post before Christmas – think of this as a teaser trailer! (Confession #22 Movies are a favorite hobby of mine.)

Fact: One of the reason's Sarah loves Christmas time is that you can find people who don't love Jesus at all singing lyrics at the top of their lungs that proclaim his grace and glory. :) (I never noticed that till you pointed it out, Sarah, and now I notice it everywhere!)

Our Story:

Jordyne: Fond of colored pens and pencils as well as taking copious notes in her Bible, Jordyne is a passionate biblical scholar. After graduating from Multnomah University, she spent a year teaching English to students in Vietnam where she was stretched a great deal in her own faith as she learned more about who God is and the family he has provided her with. While in Vietnam, she decided to return to Idaho rather than Oregon, and she now volunteers with teenagers at her church and spends as much time as she can with her two young nieces.

Sarah: A native of Oregon who loves summer, and going to the movies, Sarah, spends her time hanging out with her roommate and walking her beautiful husky mix Mercedes. After graduating from Multnomah University Sarah found a job she loves at a church as a ministry assistant. Since that time Sarah has been stretched in her own faith journey through some difficult health issues as well as learning how to live abundantly alone and with roommates. When Sarah is not working she can be found spending time with her Grandma or niece and nephews. She also leads a small group of high school girls.

Laura is a native Oregonian who is wise beyond her years. She loves English, the Bible and High Schoolers; all of which she gets to enjoy as she teaches in Germany, where she moved after graduation from Multnomah University. She has a great sense of humor, evidenced by her love of Harry Potter, the Nerdfighters, and all things geek! However, the most important thing about Laura is that she is deeply and passionately in love with Jesus and it is obvious from the minute you meet her!

Rachel grew up in the Denver area and spent a chunk of her high school years in Germany. From the very start, the love of Christ has made her passionate about missions and seeing people reached with the Gospel, especially youth in Europe. Highly innovative, she has a gift for problem-solving and the ability to read situations. After graduating from Multnomah University, she moved back to the Denver area where she currently lives with her roommates and her adorable cat. She serves in her church youth group, while simultaneously pursuing a ministry in biblical counseling and running her own business

How we met:

Though none of us are technically from Portland, Oregon, it is the city that brought us together. Laura and Sarah were the closest, with Laura growing up in a suburb of PDX and Sarah at a youth camp a few hours away. Jordyne made her way there from a little town in Idaho and Rachel journeyed the farthest from her native Denver! Once the four of us were together, Multnomah University was never the same! And the friendship that started on that hallowed campus continues to grow stronger as we have migrated back to our homes and beyond!
