Reading through the Old Testament last semester, I pictured God differently than I do when I read the NT. In the OT He is lawful, just, a guide, even distant than what I believe Him to be now. But, my professor spoke truth that changed me, "God has always been what we know Jesus to be."
It's true that God is just and a guide, but He is not distant. He is personal, Sovereign and interested in the details of our lives. Just as I have always been taught how Jesus is. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. He is unchanging. This changes the way I read the Old Testament entirely.

summer on display
I'm leaving for seattle next week. already. The emerald city.
I'm looking forward to the market, visiting the very first Starbucks, reading Jack Kerouac in hidden bookshops and turning 21!
yeah, its going to be an adventure. But, for now....I'm enjoying arizona. home.
watching my brother mop his kitchen floor with a bathtowel, taco night at my nana's, seeing the stars (because they don't exist in L.A.).
summer in arizona: dark skin, melting asphalt, iced coffee.
Life is good.
