abstract

- i touched a frying pan today, it hurts alot. but the sandwhich i grilled was delightful.
- i'm going bowling in alberta tonight. on purpose. well, perhaps i won't bowl, but i'll be at Gateway Lanes just the same. i don't get the love of bowling. the last time i went bowling in alberta i had just gotten my tattoo. i feel so old now.
- lately i've felt impulsive, like wanting to chop my hair off impulsive. yikes.
- this summer i am spending 5 full weeks at Pigeon Lake, on camp staff. it's been a long time since i've done that, and it will be the first time i will do it with my very own car, which excites me. the freedom to not be 'stuck' at camp on my days off is exciting.
- work is not fun when everyone in management is quitting. in fact, it turns into alot of drama, the really bad kind of drama. i cant wait to quit and go to the lake for 5 weeks.
- reading a proverb-a-day has been good for me this month. i think i'll do it next month too. it's a good addition to whatever guided or unguided Bible study i'm doing. i like it.
- in line with the impulsive-ness, i really want another tattoo.
- the weather is very 'alberta' of late, rainy and sunny each day. not one or the other, rather its both in incriments. ha.
- my poor jeep desperately needs a cleaning. perhaps i should be doing that rather than this, since i leave for small group and bowling in under an hour...
ciao.

beauty is fleeting

life is good. God is good.
even when things are hard, those things remain true. i've been falling in love with God in a way that is as old as time, but is new and exciting in my life. it's crazy, and every minute is thrilling and unbelievable, and is reaffirming the foundation of my life, it's an unreal ride, and i'm loving every minute of it.
i don't have many good stories, the weather has been lousy, and thus work has been dead. i'm at the lumber desk most of the time, so i've been flatstacking alot of 2x4's of various lengths, and making some interesting accquaintances.
submitting to the will of God is always a journey of challenge, self discovery and so much more. but it's exciting, it's a journey well worth embarking on.
i dont have anything of great intelligence to say, but these are the things of my life...

patience is a virtue

i don't have wireless right now. so i've been removed from most all forms of internet, tho i do infrequently check my facebook on my phone. just in case something crazy happens, i guess.
i'm learning anew the virtue of patience, of waiting on God's timing, of being gracious and slow to anger. it's not always easy, it's not easy very often at all, in fact. i'm learning alot about God these days, and about who He is calling me to be, where He is calling me to be, and all the details of those things. Life is crazy at 22, a kind of crazy i don't think i've known before, but i'm living in it, i'm claiming it, and i'm growing ever nearer to the heart of my creator thru it. and nothing, nothing, beats that.
so there's my update.
madlove.
