New Season

Today I came to the realization that I have truly entered a new chapter in my life, a new season. I have come to the understanding the life is not all about wondering what to do next or in an other way it's not worth freaking out if we don't know what step to take. I have realized over the last few months that it's okay to not know were the next few months will take you. I have come such a far way from the kid I used to be 3 and a half years ago when I came to Calgary, to now. It's amazing to see how much you grow up when you are living on your own and you have life stuff to think about. At least this way of life did it for me... This past year of not being in school gave me a chance to honestly reflect my life. I was able to find more of me in the midst, of the person I am and will be forever in God. I mean for sure I will continue growing and becoming more mature in my faith and in life... but I have realized that I need to be more serious when it comes to school and life stuff. It's good to have fun and relax, but there is a time for that. I know that the past few years have felt like time wasted at times, but reflecting I can't say that I have wasted all that time. The events of Gerry Hall and school life has been a huge encouragement in my life... Sometimes I wish I procrastinated less and worked harder, but I don't regret the friendships I made during the times I should have been studying, or the life lessons I have learned while I should have been listening to lectures... Now on the other hand I can say that I have been there, and that I have done that and that now is time to bite down and get her done!
I love life and I love the people in my life, God has blessed me with a great family, wonderful friends and a stellar job that I really can't complain about. But I want to go back to school and finish what God brought me here to start. I love learning about Him and being a part of such a beautiful community of people... God is good..
My brother has moved to Calgary and God has already blessed him with a great job. He has been here for just a bit more then two weeks now. I am glad he is here and that our family can be together in the same place. I appreciate this so much because I know the Lord has called me to do mission work and that would mean that I won't always be near my family in Canada. So I guess these moments are very precious and I want to live them to the fullest. I know that there is no rush... but I am so ready to be done school and do what I want to do full-time.
We keep praying... and life will work out as God intends it to.

Anyway people have a good week...
God bless,
