What a Christmas

It's finally happened....a new addition to my family. Yesterday my brother Luke proposed to his girlfriend, Tanya...and she said "yes." I am going to get another sister!! The girls will, once again, outnumber the boys (it's been 17 years since that's happened). I can't believe that my brother, the one who adamantly hated girls, is going to spend the rest of his life with one. I guess there's hope for everyone!

Trust....trust...trust....trust

I feel like I'm at a pivotal spot in my life. I am finally going to graduate come May and then what? Where does God want me to go? As a teacher-in-the-making I need to start applying places, working on my resume and portfolio, and going through interviews real soon. Yet, I have no clue as to the direction God wants me to go. I could go anywhere in the world. Is it possible that what I want and what God wants could be the same thing?

Do you ever have the gut-renching feeling of wanting something sooooo badly that your whole body craves it? Is that a God thing or a selfish thing?

I feel like I'm back in highschool trying to decide where to go to postsecondary school. In highschool I made the decision to go to University of Waterloo while God made the decision for me to go to Redeemer University. To make a long story short, I'm at Redeemer. God always manages to put me where He wants me. And then it comes back to the same word over and over again: TRUST. Well, here we go again.

Repeat over and over again: trust...trust...trust...trust...trust...trust...trust...trust........

6) Listening to people compliment the christmas church program

8) Eating food prepared by my mom and grandma
9) Sleeping in a bed that is more than one foot off the floor
