the never ending questions
I'm back at a place of never ending questions...
Who am I? What do I want? What do I need? What do I desire? What am I living for? What needs to change in the here and now? What's priority?
You know those questions? I guess it keeps a person on their toes.
...plus, I'm moving soon. That makes me really sad. I love my house, my area of the city, part of my family being near, friends...but the change WILL be GOOD! I keep telling myself that. I'm moving into Vineyardland. That makes me smile.
I'm reading the Chronicles of Narnia for the first time and am absolutely loving it! I haven't had the opportunity to read a book in a really long time and it's been sooo good! I love Aslan. His fierce gentleness and power, his beauty and integrity...it's so cool becoming a part of a story and getting a whole new perspective. I definitely recommend these books guys! (Thanks Jason)
Calling Home the Prodigal's - on Sunday night I was on the bus and ran into an old acquaintance from high school. He dropped out half way through grade 12 (we were in drama together) and I hadn't seen him since. So we chatted for about 5 minutes. He ran away from home his grade 12 year, was living on the streets or at friends houses, has no job at the moment (he just got fired) and he didn't seem to be doing so well. As soon as he got off the bus I felt like God had said, "Call home the Prodigal". Literally call him home. So I said quietly, "God, bring him home to you. Bring him home to his family." That's been a theme since then. Can we call home the prodigal's? Those who've left home, those who've known the love of Christ and turned their backs on Him - why not!?! We need to pray for these prodigal's! We can't just forget about them and write them off as lost causes. I pray that the prodigal's in the city of Winnipeg would be reunited with their Heavenly Father. That they would hear Him calling to them so clearly even through all of the muck of life. Jesus, teach us how to agree with You and call home the prodigal's. You are forever standing with open arms! Thank you!

darling, you are in such a good place. though it's hard to ask questions and not necessarily get the answers that simple openness and wonder is what life is about. stay young and curious!
I'm going to miss you so.......we'll have to make even more of an effort now that you won't be so close. I too am a little sad, but I'm excited for you as well!
Steph, I can relate with being in the same sorta place, I think its what the 20's are all about...figuring out who you really are, and what you really want. Can be hard stuff! I think a lot of us know your struggle, you are not alone!
Loraleigh you make me happy!! I do have one of those travel mugs and I am PUMPED about walks and other such invites! You are such a blessing! You make something that seems sad right now a little (a lot) less sad = )
