Finding the beauty in a city


Bus transportation is rather simple and easy to do around here, it's also the cheapest way to travel.  So come and join me on this quick, fun, spontaneous walk exploring more of San Jose.



Imagine riding on this empty bus with me, you are 10 minutes from San Jose

I love looking at old buildings and new buildings, their designs and just imagine what history it has.  To be honest I have no idea what these buildings are, but I found them fascinating as they were nestled in San Jose, close to modern buildings.  The fact that they are still around must mean something right...

  

Take a look at the details...
This house, studio, or museum caught my eye from a few blocks away.
It definitely makes a statement.
There are a lot of old building just a little off the beaten path.
I am sure there is a story to this place
This is beautiful! On one corner you  have this beautiful place and
on the corner across the street is the place in the picture above.  Two very
different styles yet in the same place.



Now on to the many parks I happened upon.  There are a lot of pretty parks in San Jose.  It's nice to see green around.  So just take a seat and just watch...well, I didn't, I just kept walking, but I think next time I will:)

One park had a fountain with a big plaque with the Costa Rica Hymn on it and a beautiful display of trees and flowers. Across the street from this park is another and another beyond that.  Three right in a row.








    

This ends my little adventure.  If you come to Costa Rica, San Jose offers a lot of nice parks to sit in or walk around in .  It's the little bit of green you can get in a city.  If you like people watching or just enjoy being out side, it's sure something to do.

Always in HIS hands!!

The Lord is trustworthy in all he promises and faithful in all he does.   The Lord upholds all who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down.  The eyes of all look to you, and you give them their food at the proper time.   You open your hand and satisfy the desires of every living thing.   The Lord is righteous in all his ways and faithful in all he does.  The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.   He fulfils the desires o those who fear him; he hears their cry and saves them. Psalm 145:13b-19 I don't know about you, but I find great joy in reading the scriptures.  Over the past couple weeks I have really enjoyed the Psalms, the fact that there is so much depth to them and that many of them have spoken right to my heart.  The verses above, I read today.  I was sitting in El Bosque Parque reading and just soaking up all that the Lord has done in my life.   I am reminded that the Lord is faithful in all he does, and that His prom

His Love Will Never Fail!

Enjoying a girls afternoon! Dear Friends, One year ago, this month, I left the states to be a missionary, a desire the Lord put in my heart a long time ago.  I left for Colombia, South America and a short time later, I moved to Costa Rica to study Spanish.  Living in Costa Rica is amazing.  From the sunny days and cool evenings to the people I meet and have the opportunity to pray with and share Christ with, I couldn't ask for anything better. And I am thankful to stay for a little while longer.  You read that correctly.   I have been given the opportunity to continue to study Spanish (which I am so thankful for), build relationships and live life here sharing the Gospel until... the LORD knows!  Flexibility is the key...   Proverbs 19:21 says,  "Many are the plans in a person's heart, but it is the LORD's purpose that prevails."   The  LORD  is directing my steps a little differently than I expected and  there are no complaints here, because HE knows bes

Fun in February

Sometimes there is so much going on, I think there is no way I can do this at this time, but when I stop and notice there is time, it's always fun to be spontaneous and surprise the people you love most, family.  After 12hrs on the road, I finally showed up on the doorstep of my sister's house.  With the door open, jaws dropped, and laughter, I believe my surprise was successful!   Aunt Mimi with Grace, Nathan and Emily!  Other fun news for February...I finished my Bible Classes and ordered my one way ticket to Colombia!!   As I prepare to leave, I am continually reminded how the Lord goes before me, how He is my provider, how much He loves me.  He is the reason I do what I do and love what I do, and in all I do I want to honor Him.  Be Thou my Vision   Be Thou my vision,  O Lord of my heart;  Naught be all else to me,  save that Thou art  Thou my best thought,  by day or by night,  Waking or sleeping,  Thy presence my light.  Be Thou my
