Welcome!

Welcome one, welcome all! :)

I decided to start this blog with the high hopes that it would drive me to write more. I've found that lately my time spent writing for the sake of writing has decreased greatly and a part of me has really missed it. I also had some encouragement from a fellow campmate and blogger. :)

As the title so aptly states a lot of these blog posts will probably come from me procrastinating or me just sitting in class thinking about life, love and God instead of children developing language, what Wordsworth really meant by his use of the word nature and the like. Really at times these random thoughts and rambles that come out of me pondering and praying seem more useful. I hope I'm not alone here in this sentiment.

Especially as I head into 7 months of planning a wedding, thinking about marriage, life and the future I'm sure I'll have lots to ponder and ramble about. :)

Sorry for the let down in the first post, but I promise more will come later. Especially as I head off to Canadian Drama on this fine, snowy yet rainy, Friday afternoon. These classes always tend to give many chances for my mind to wander, though not due to an uninteresting professor, she is fantastic. It's Friday afternoon, cold, cloudy and lazy, what a better time to let your mind wander.

I hope our adventure together is a good one...

A Letter to Canadian Believers

  Dear brothers and sisters,  I am writing to you from the darkness of my bedroom in the dead of night because my heart aches within me.  I’ve had this song running through my head recently that I learned back in grade three. It goes, “They will know we are Christians by our love, by our love. They will know we are Christians by our love."  I don’t believe this is how Christians are seen anymore which deeply saddens me. When I look at the general state of  North America and the hate that is often spewed and fear that is lobbied like bombs, meant to attack, used to defend, I feel so heavy. I think Christians are known more for our hate- not only for those outside of "us” but for those within "us”.  I think it is truly time for all of us who call ourselves believers and followers of Christ, myself included, to really look at ourselves and look at the Bible. Actually, read for ourselves verses in context, and read to discount our own hypothesis (because this i...

Fall Excitement!

Is anyone else excited for fall?! The trees are beautiful and there is that particular smell in the air that makes me go, "Ahh..." While I am definitely a summer girl, I may have a wavering dedication to summer because of fall. Fall is beautiful, fall means pumpkin pie, fall means sweaters, fall means cozy homes filled with wonderful smells. Some of you know that I'm down in Toronto three days and two nights a week. Honestly, in some ways this has been wonderful for our marriage! But it doesn't change the fact that I miss being around Rob, and our home.  Side note: Do any of you find you have an addiction to exclamation points? I always find myself having to restrict my use of them or using :)'s to show it is a happy exclamation and not an angry one. I was going to write this post about this coming (and by coming I mean past) weekend, which for us here Canadians was all about Thanksgiving. But by the time I got around to actually writing this blog the Th...

A New Series

 Hello! Thanks for reading this. I know it's been a while. I'm not the most consistent and steady of bloggers so I appreciate you taking the time to even click the link and pop over to my blog! I'm so glad you're here. Recently, as I've been reading the news and talking with close friends I've had this heaviness weighing on me. It is partly the heaviness that comes with the reality that the world is not as it should be. I think no matter your faith background you could probably agree with me on this point. Another aspect of the heaviness comes as I observe and see Christians within Canada (and much of North America) and the way that we show up in spaces. In reflecting on this I had this song pop up in my head that I had learned in elementary school (I went to a Christian school). That song spun out into more reflection and one night when I was lying in bed, unable to sleep because of the sadness (and to be honest anger), I felt prompted to write a letter to my f...
