Super Powers and Stuff

This one took longer to write than I thought because after I started to write it I realized that I picked the animal that I would want to be based on my desire to have said super power. Let's face it guys, I really just want to be able to fly. So, I didn't really want to write a whole post again about how I love flying and wish I could just soar over the tree tops and visit friends and family all over the world. Though, if you guys really, really want it I'd be glad to do it.

So, instead I've decide to write about what's been on my mind lately.

1. I watched this move by Tyler Perry called Why Did I get Married Too? In classic Tyler Perry fashion he went from wonderfully hilarious to awfully sad in the span of 2 hours. Like, I bawled my little eyes out after laughing my little heart out. Rob looked over at me in the midst my my cry fest and said, "What's wrong?" (To clarify I was watching it with headphones on and he was watching Stargate) I couldn't even talk I was so upset. But! The point of this ramble is that the couples in the movie did something every year that I thought was awesome. Every year they got together and at a campfire each couple stood up and said why they got married to their spouse, what drew them together and what's kept them together. I thought this was such a good idea! It's always good to remind yourselves and others why you fell in love and why you're still in love. I think I might be proposing this idea for next July.

2. Everyone always says it as a joke but in all seriousness communication is key. But not just any communication, GOOD communication. I mean both in that it is effective and that it is positive. Not that everything you say is happy but that everything you say can be used to build someone up rather than tear them down, constructive criticism friends, coming from a place of love.

3. Speaking of love, I love chinchillas. Have you met ours?
I know, you just fell in love too.
4. I love school, I don't love dissecting myself again though. Any other counselling majors feel me on this one?

5. I really, really, really like pizza. Which kind of goes against the fact that I'm trying to eat healthier now. Bah humbug!

6. Christmas is coming the goose is getting fat!

7. I love babies. I'd love one right now. Except not really, except kinda, not, maybe. Ha!

8. I want to go on a road trip. I can't decide which coast. I want to see some mountains, but I also really want some salt water taffy and to be in P.E.I. Though I don't want to pay gas prices. Maybe we'll take a motorcycle trip. Oh man, that would be an uncomfortable adventure.

9. Harry Potter makes me smile. Especially the cast of the movies. They do funny interviews. You should look it up sometime...

10. I love date nights. Tonight will consist of a walk to get wine/beer, drinking of wine/beer (in moderation, we gots a BUDGET y'all and we don't believe in getting drunk), dreaming of the future, and reading LOTR. Hurray for Alysha-cannot-think-of-anything-creative-date-night. Two weeks ago we did a Being a Child Again date night and last week we did a dinner out for Burgers and fries and than a two hour walk because of the burger and fries. Tonight is Dreaming Night. Yippie!

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. ...
