The Place to Be

Apparently we're the flavor for the day - Origins is the place to be.  We love hearing how much people love the atmosphere of our coffeehouse, some making it their "office", others meeting regularly with a mentor or staff or class.  We have a group of retired women that come in on Mondays at 9 am, like clockwork.  We love seeing our nephew over in the orange corner sipping on an Orange Creamsicle smoothie and reading a book.  It's fantastic to have all generations gather for live music and pie on Friday nights.


And yet, we feel we can't take credit...God has simply poured out His blessings on this venture.  We wake up feeling uncertain about ourselves and the newness of it all, but we lay it again at the feet of the One in whom we are certain, and we "do the next thing" as Elisabeth Elliot would say.  At the day's end, after closing out the register, we thank Him for all He has done.  This is His place, it is all about what He wants to do, who He wants to touch and how.  


And for that reason alone, we hope that Origins continues to be, "the place to be."
