“I am alive in this moment…” – Starfield

So the quest for a job continues. I a still paying for the executive assistant position (the one I had the interview for on Thursday), but I have also applied at second cup and at a restaurant near my house. Rent is coming up and I seriously need a job.
So I am sitting here drinking a cup of overly-sweetened coffee and contemplating how God gets the color of the sun shining on the trees outside my window so absolutely perfect. I feel as if I have found the eye of the storm. “Strive to enter my rest…” I hear you say, Lord. Thank you for your faithfulness and for your perfect plan. Hey! Maybe you could let me in on it sometime! But I suppose that would spoil the adventure. And what is life without adventure? ‘Tis true.
This week has been so busy! Monday I had coffee with my girl A.J., who I haven’t really sat and talked with for ages! We went to the Second Cup on 7th Downtown and had such a good time! Tuesday was youth and we did an Italian Mystery Dinner in my basement (just like what Don and Linda did for us in Jesus School). Major props to my mom and Tanya who helped me pull it off. It was SO MUCH WORK and I could never have doe it without you guys!! It was a smashing success, though and a good time was had by all. Chad – thanks for the encouragement! Of course, we followed it up with a couple high quality games of Mafia. Wednesday we had a really good home group. Tanya and I made spaghetti for supper (in keeping with the theme from Tuesday!) and mom taught a really good lesson on respect. The weekend was a blur, as usual, and Sunday night I had a really good night with God.
I have had a surprisingly good day and am quite enjoying it. My dad and I had some really quality time today which we have not had for quite sometime, and it was very refreshing.
I am thinking very sporadically today…mega A.D.D. trips going on here so forgive me if I’m bouncing all over the place. We have been scrambling to get everything together for our youth mission trip to Yellowknife in April. I am really looking forward to it. I have never done anything this big before and feel like I am a little in over my head, but you gotta start somewhere, right? Dive in and sink or swim, I guess, as Kevin would say. On Friday night I went with my mom to see Mona Lisa Smile…FANTASTIC movie! And then on Saturday me and Kev went and saw Peter Pan. Very charming and extremely sweet. I actually liked both quite a bit. I am so thankful we have the best cheap theatre in Calgary right by my house.
God is so good! I am learning ever little by little how to rejoice in all things. It’s funny how it changes your perspective so much! Love it! Grace and Peace to you in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
