Far Too Long

My goodness it has been way too long since I wrote in here last. I cannot believe what a crazy summer it has been. But such a good summer! We became an aunt and uncle to another sweet niece, Katie Joy. She is so adorable and I could snuggle her all day long. We were also so blessed to be invited to a bunch of weddings this summer. It is so wonderful to be there to celebrate with the bride and groom as them embark on a new adventure.

It has also been a summer full of growing. Growing in our marriage, growing in my relationship with God, and growing in my understanding of who I am.

I finish work this week and head back to school in a few weeks. I'm so blessed to have this time and I hope to fill it with many wonderful people and memories. Since one of my bestest friends leaves for 10 months in just a short while this time off gives us a chance to spend two full days together! How fantastic is that?!

I hope to start up on writing more often in the fall. There have been many things that I have been pondering that I would love to share with y'all. Some of them fun things that filled our summer and some of them just ponderings that have been whooshing around in my head.

I'll start back up with the 30 Things soon so you can continue to learn useless information about me.

I head up to camp this week to visit and I am so excited. Though it is going to be weeeiiirrdd as most of the staff have changed and I don't think I'll know any of the campers, though I'm pretty sure one of my favourites will be there. But shhh.... camp counsellors don't have favourites!

Hope all of your summers and been exquisite!

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...

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...

A Letter Reflecting on Unity

  Dear brothers and sisters, I implore us to seek unity with one another, just as John encouraged us to do through his letters to the early church. Let us not be pulled apart by disagreements that lead to hate and division. Can we show the world what it looks like to disagree with love? Can we show what it looks like to have differences but be united because we have something so incredible connecting us that we can’t be pulled apart? We all have this one major, amazing, life changing thing in common, not only with each other in the church but with those outside the church. We are loved by God, who provides and cares for us so deeply. Within the church we recognize the need we have for God, not only for salvation but for true and abiding hope, for unshakable peace and unspeakable joy. We know as a church family that the only reason we can stand before a loving, perfect, Holy God is because Christ stands besides us and reminds God that we have been pardoned because of His sacrifice. ...
