"I wonder today, do you know Him?"

My Bemidji host mom, Denise, sent me this video today that was SO encouraging! It's a good reminder of how great our God really is and that we can't really even fathom His whole greatness!  A little warning:  the guy's voice was a bit comical to me at first and it might be for you, too.  If it does try to get over it as quick as possible so you can really take in what he's saying.  :)

Sweetest Thing

I heard this song for the first time a couple weeks ago and was, being the girl I am, nearly in tears!  It's very sweet and sad all at the same time....Mark Schultz seems to be very good at doing that.  I hope it works for you to just click on the link.  I'm not really good at the adding videos deal.  Time for bed, with this sweet image in my mind.  :)

At Last!

Hooray!  It finally worked!  Here it is...the mansion.  :)  This first picture is what you see when you walk in....
bed (above) and 'couch' to the left and...
'sitting area' to the right!  As you can see, I desperately need some things on the wall-it's a little bare.  The blue picture board deal that's leaning against the wall is only there temporarily, it just happened to work there for now.
Here is looking, obviously, towards the door.  I am enjoying it thoroughly.  It feels like so much more space and perhaps a tad more homey.  With all the bad rap they get, dorm rooms aren't really that horrific. :)   Come visit anytime!

My Mansion

My new arrangement, as stated earlier, required a bit more work than my previous arrangement.  Thanks to my helpful neighbors we were able to loft my bed a create quite a spacious space!  I still have my cozy 'couch' and now a nice little sitting area, kind of like a living room.  :)  I like having my bed up because then when people come over I don't feel like they're just hanging in my bedroom.  My computer and everything is still in the same place.  So, here are some pictures.

Sorry, the pictures don't want to work right now.  I'll try again tomorrow.

Arrangements...

Hey!  Just letting you know I'm currently in the process of rearranging my room--AGAIN!  (I think I inherited my rearranging genes from my mother.)  :)  It seems as though I can't go more than a couple months without getting bored of the arrangement I have at the time.  But just wait 'til you see this one...we're going big time!  It even requires the help of my neighbor girls and a hammer!  Well, off to work I go.

Beyond Juice!

At last...new pictures!  Well, due to my sporadic moments of non-brilliance, I forgot to bring my camera to college group at church.  Sorry.  However I did remember to bring it to work!  You are going to get a sneak peak at Beyond Juice like none other.  So, take a deep breath and try to keep yourself from going into utter chaos at the sight of these pics.  I know, it could be difficult.  Here we go.

When you walk into the store you see something like this!  Here is beautiful Ashley at the front counter with the menu, etc. behind her.  People are often times overwhelmed by the all the choices they have to make.  We're pretty good at helping them make decisions though.  :)

These are our friends-VitaMix and "The Beast".  The VitaMixers make all of our mouth-watering smoothies.  "The Beast" has his name for a good reason, however, he does do good work;  Beasty Boy juices apples, carrots, celery, parsley, just about anything, into delicious juices.  SO good!  (Oh, and he's called "The Beast"  because he takes quite a bit of work to clean....he's on the more difficult side to take a part and weighs a half ton.)Here is an example of something delicous "The Beast" can create...apple/carrot juice.  Although it may not sound that good to you, it is simply wonderful.  The stuff he lets out the back end :)  looks a little crazy, but the juice is great.  (These are the organic juices we offer.)Here is Mr. MegaGreen.  MegaGreen strictly juices wheatgrass.  He's not quite as tricky to clean.  As you may not know, I've become a drinker of shots.  I just LOVE shots!  In fact, I had two shots last week.  (wheat grass and noni juice that is...ha!)  Customers order wheatgrass in 'shots' and we just get a kick out of sometimes when someone, for example, orders "four shots of wheatgrass, please."  :)Here is our smoothie cooler!  It holds some of the most delicous fruits that go into our smoothies....banana, mango, peaches, pineapples, blueberries, blackberries, cranberries, strawberries, raspberries....yeah, good stuff.And this is the sandwich cooler.  It contains muenster cheese, cheddar cheese, tomato, cucumber, pickles, lettuce, cranberry sauce (for turkey cranberry sandwiches), tuna, egg salad, turkey, chicken, sprouts, peppers (green & red roasted), onion, avocado, golden raisins, sunflower seeds...more good stuff.  :)

Here are 3 of my favorite sandwich ingredients...avocado, sprouts, and roasted red pepper.  They add flavor that is just so delicious--try it!  I even included a picture of my favorite sandwich.  It has avocado, tomato, cucumber, muenster cheese, sprouts, roasted red pepper and is on multi-grain bread--irresistible!Well, today when I walked into work this is what I saw!  Ha!  Amy doesn't normally stretch like this at work, but she really needed to stretch, or something.  :)  Amy, the one on the left, is my boss, and Ashley, the one holding her leg, is a girl I work with about 4 days a week!  We all see each other quite a bit and enjoy each other's company.  It is a huge blessing to work for Amy and to enjoy work!  I work with two other ladies as well...another Ashley, who happens to be Amy's daughter!, and Tammy, who does all of the baking for us.  They're a fun crew.  Below is me, Ashley, and Amy...trying to take a decent picture.  :)  I hope you enjoyed the pictures, because that's it!  (You probably actually saw more than you wanted to!)  Well that should hold you over for another month.  Just kidding.  Blessings to you all.

So...

As you have noticed, I have been slacking in the blog department.  My apologies.  BUT! Get excited because new picture are comin' to town!  That's right folks, within the next week you will see top news stories that cover the world and life of Greta Espe.  A little fore-warning, my life is not that exciting.  It consists of a lot of school work/studying and work work, as in Beyond Juice.  I know that many have been waiting to see pictures of those areas of my life, though, so, your wish is my command.  I also plan on taking some pics. of my NEW college group at church.  (I'm so excited about it and LOVE being there....I'll tell you more later.)  Maybe one day when I have a boyfriend/husband my life will be more exciting.  :)  Just kidding.  "This is the day the Lord has made;  let us rejoice and be glad in it!" (Psalm 118:24)  That's enough for now.  Picture taking is one of my new missions in life.  Thanks for showing your interest, care, concern, love.  Much appreciated.  Much love.

P.S.  Sometimes I want to say outrageous things, I don't even know what they would pertain to, just to see what you say.  Ha!
