August 2023 Recap

This month has been crazy! Below is a short recap of some of the projects I worked on over the past four weeks. =)

Messianic Products!

I’m so excited to announce a few projects I’ve been working on!

  • Messianic Planner 5784 — A beautiful, minimal 16-month Messianic planner to help you stay organized and focused on the Word.

  • Jeremiah 29:13 Bookmark — Made of high-quality cardstock and features the first part of Jeremiah 29:13: “And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.”

  • Proverbs 3:5 Hebrew & English Magnet (designed by my sister Grace!) — This beautiful, hand-drawn heart magnet is a reminder of the importance of trusting in God. It features the English and Hebrew versions of the Bible verse Proverbs 3:5: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding.” This magnet is a great gift for anyone who is looking for a meaningful and thoughtful way to express their faith.

MVP Websites

I finally put two websites together that I’ve been putting off for a while (besides Masa HaChaim, or course) — Createful Purpose and Pinguni.

Createful Purpose contains a few of the projects I’ve been working on. I’m still updating most of them, so thank you for your patience. =)

On Pinguni, I’m adding a bunch of free online homeschooling resources for families. I hope to expand it in the future!

Classes Starting!

I’ve started an Instagram account, @czclearning, to document my lifelong journey as a student.

Here are two paragraphs from my intro post:

I’ve been taking various classes for fun since my very early teenage years, and I haven’t stopped since! From the awesome community colleges in my area to online platforms like Coursera, there is so much knowledge in the world worth exploring. I’ve decided to create this account to share my joy of learning with others, as well as document academic tips and resources. If you know me, you know I love to pack a full schedule! There shan’t be any boring stops along the way. 😉

If you’re on Instagram, consider following me! 😀

Anyhow, I’m taking a bunch of classes this semester. I’m working on documenting them on a new blog, learning.cathzchen.com, but that one’s still in progress (so ignore the messy pages lol, thank you).

an idea

I’m thinking of starting an Exploring SoCal blog or social media account. There are so many cool, not-so-well-known (and well-known) places and things to see, eat, and do. It seems as if every OC city has its own little historical museum, something I didn’t know of before, and I want to visit all of them. There are also a bunch of small restaurants (at least in our area), and I would love to document them as well.

Future Plans

I’m still not sure what I’ll be doing this fall yet. Some possibilities are a full-time job, studying for an online B.S. and/or M.S., working on Messianic ministry opportunities, or some combination of the above (or something else entirely). Please keep me in your prayers; thank you!

Anyhow, that’s it for this month.

Adios!
