Green eyes and hands
As in eyes that are green and hands that are not. Two things that I appreciate about my own body all the time, no matter what.
Aaaand it sounds like “green eggs and ham”
“If God loves you and wants to shape you, he will send some difficult people your...”
– John Ortberg The Me I Want To Be
I was thinking today about how there are some things I wish I had done differently this weekend, and then, out of nowhere, these words from “How He Loves” popped into my head: “I don’t have the time to maintain these regrets, when I think about the way He loves us.”
Just say "yes"
A long, long time ago, I got into the habit of saying “no”. I didn’t go to things, I didn’t help at things. For no reason other than laziness, I didn’t really do much of anything. And then, all of a sudden, I felt God pushing me to say “yes”… all the time. And I’m enjoying all of the experiences I’m getting, simply because I actually...

I’ve been finding myself sitting with various people recently, and not knowing what to say. I sit there, going “Okay, God, give me the right words”, but, more than anything, the reply I get is “Silence”. For those of you who know me well, you probably know that I’m not overly fond of silence. My Sunday school teachers used to say that I had a motor mouth, and...

I will / worship...
I will be still, and know You are God.
Matt mentioned, this weekend, something that I’ve been discovering. Time with God doesn’t mean we talk and talk and talk and then go away. It means we talk, and we listen for what God has to say (which is hard, because he doesn’t often speak directly…), and, sometimes, it’s just about being with God. Similar to the way in which my parents tend to just sit together,...
So basically, I rarely hang out with little children, so I tend to be really awkward and like “I have no idea what to do” around them, but today, I was chillin’ with Isaiah because I was, as James would say, the least loved child (last picked up from the Pender meeting), and it was frickin’ awesome. That kid is solid.
After a weekend of walking around in inside-out jeans and of dancing like an idiot and of staying up talking and, most importantly, of struggling and growing with God, I’m excited but tired. Haha.
I feel like there have been times, lately, when things that I have said and done have been somewhat important and influential, and it breaks my heart to think that some of these times were so not filled with God. However, more and more he’s been a part of my life, and I’ve enjoyed just saying little prayers for knowledge and wisdom in various situations throughout the day.
What joy
At fireside/worship last night, we sang “What Joy”, which I think I’ve heard before but I don’t really know. I just closed my eyes and listened to everybody singing, and then sang the “hallelujah” at the end. And lately, I’ve found that I’m having a few struggles with just finding joy in God, I guess, and so standing amongst a group of people just...

Old friends
Can you imagine us years from today, sat on our park bench, quietly?

More little awesome things:
Replacing your soaked shoes and socks with fluffy, dry, piano socks.
Sitting down after walking for a really long time.
Those little throughout the day prayers.
I don’t know what’s real right now.
I want to shine, I want to be his light. I want to tell you it’ll be alright.
Our God… our God is like that friend that you know you can go to. Because, even though we can hurt him, and don’t talk to him for a really long time, we can come running back, in pain, or joyously, or whatever, and just say “I need a hug”. Of course… God doesn’t really do our kind of hugs when we’re still here, but you get the picture? He doesn’t...
I don’t know, anymore, what it’s for. I’m not even sure if there is anyone who is in the sun. Lord, help me to understand.

Please if you watch anything I post, watch this. THIS is important. This is something that we should not ignore. Not only Christians, but everyone. Everyone should be working to fight against this.
More slaves are bought and sold for pleasure than any other time in the world.
I love the way you can see the bones in people’s hands move when they play instruments, or write. It is the best.
indescribably asked: Currently, I'm pretty content. Not outrageously happy, but mostly optimistic about half of the week, and not entirely dreading the other half. So I think it's alright.
How are you?
How are you?
You don’t have to do this alone, ‘cause He’s right here. He’s right here standing by you.
Little awesome things:
Showering after skiing.
Realizing that you are actually going to miss the kids who sit behind you in Spanish, because they’re not just the kids who sit behind you in Spanish anymore.
Having a clean room.
I don’t understand how people play bass. The strings are so thick, they bruise my fingers.
If I find my way… how much will I find?
When I was eating dinner, the restaurant were playing You and Me, and then they played Beautiful Soul, and I just found that amusing.
I was caught in between all you wish for and all you need.

I say that instead of continuously “poking” people on facebook, we should be allowed to “like them”, and then, every time they log in their “likes” are reset, so we can do it again! And then it would just be the most wonderfully awkward facebook experience ever!
I may or may not have bought recording software.
