Chuckle Chuckle...

I did not hit you, I simply high-fived your face!

Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

God has a sense of humour. You don't believe me? Go to Walmart and just look at people.

It's kinda neat how God uses people who you would never imagine just to give us a little nudge in the right direction. Yesterday, Sara, Polly and myself were at our regular Tuesday night Starbucks having a great 'ol time (maybe being a little silly about somethings..which with those two...hmmm..lol!), when something was said that caught the attention of a gentleman nearby. He said some things to us to which I really did not pay attention but then what he said next completely caught it. "You know why you feel that way? You don't pray enough. You know what happens when you pray? You move the Father." We did not mock him, we did not make fun of him, we calmly listened to what he had to say. The thoughts were..if God can use a donkey to speak to a nation, he could use this man to speak to us and "Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares(Hebrews 13:2)." I'm not saying that this is what happened, perhaps he could have just been a crazy person. However, this subject has been so prevelant on my mind that I believe that this was God's little way of saying "Hey, you've been thinking about it...so DO IT." Do we pray enough? Probably not. Do we seek the face of God enough? Probably not, and I don't think we can ever stop reaching for that greater level in our worship, our prayer or in our relationship God. I appreciate our Tuesday night Bible Study and Prayer, and I hope that we continue these Tuesdays for as long as possible. However, I also hope that our prayer lives are more than just on Tuesday night, but that they also continue on throughout the week. This is our relationship with God. We really have no excuse. If we can talk on the phone, hang out with our friends and text like there is no tomorrow, why can we not set aside a time every day to spend a little time with Jesus? More than anything, this is to myself...but I guess just take it as a little food for thought:)

Can this day get any worse!!!!

I am having such a blue day...I officially really don't like my job today. I just want to go home and put pj's on and sit in front of the fire (which is really only candles cuz I don't have a fireplace) and listen to stories. Anyway, God is still good!

......:(

So as much as I LOVE living here...today I am feeling awefully homesick. It is incredibly hard not seeing my family and friends from back home on a regular basis. Especially my mom (K, I'm gonna tear up for a sec). I don't know how many of you have met my mom, but she is one pretty awesome lady. She is possibly one of the most dynamic people I have in my life. She is faithful to her family, her friends, but most importantly her God. She has taught me what it means to be a Christian young lady. I love her so much, and I can only hope to become a portion of the Christian lady she is today. I love you mom!

So Rememberance Day holds another meaning for me (Yes, I know this posting is a couple of days late)....November 11, 2003 is when I made the treck from Beautiful British Columbia to Calgary....and I don't regret a second. Moving here has been the best decision of my life. God has brought me so far! I can't believe the changes that HE has made in my life since I've moved here....like...I can drive..lol...Just Kidding. Anyway, like I was saying...Life has been such a journey for me since I've been here...from my first traumatising (did I spell that right?) week to these most hectic, busy, crazy, kooky days that I have been living lately. I thank God for the wonderful pastor that He has given me, the wonderful youth pastor and wife, and my wonderful wonderful friends...although I'm almost a million years older than all of you (we folks from BC tend to have a largely exagerated immaginations)that God has placed in my life. Well...since I was only going to stay for one year and well...it's been five, here to another great one year (or five)...Love you all!

Three of my fav pals......

Guess what we had today at work making a training video....not a bad day I'd say...
