Summer is here! There is something about spring and summer that brings me such inexplicable joy! The uncovering of the earth from the snow and ice, the dressing of trees with new leaves and blossoms, the growing of fresh green grass on the ground we tread, the beautiful flowers that cannot seem to be contained from every corner of the earth and the strong glaring sun that causes all these things to flourish in abundance! I look at all this beauty and sometimes I feel as if my feeble body will not be able to take in everything it senses. And these moments, of awe and wonder and contentment, they usually occur when I pull my mind away from tasks and goals and take a look at the world around me. Does it ever amaze you that the beauty of the world just sits there as we walk to and fro with our worries and hopes and dreams? Sometimes I wonder whether God shakes His head at the blessing we miss out on when we belittle the magnificence of our very existence. People argue about whether there i...

After a year and 3 months of silence I am back!! My break has caused me to question the lay-out and overall look of this blog. I will be doing some remodeling so please excuse the occasional change. Also do let me know if you have any suggestions or critiques for the blog. I've been sick. Not my usual irritated throat and swollen glands sickness. This was the full out unable to function, aching body and complete disorientation type sickness. I tried to work through it on Monday but that only led to my symptoms getting worse and forcing me to stay home Tuesday and Wednesday. Like most people I loathe being sick and do not like having to change or delay my life because of it. But as I lay on my couch yesterday and gave in to the pain raging in my body I wondered what I was really fighting. Was this really unnecessary? Sickness isn't everyone's idea of a divine intervention but I was seriously thinking about what the Lord wanted to teach me in this moment of forced rest. I did...

Due to popular demand I have been challenged to shorten my posts. I will try... Where are you going in life? What are you working, studying, struggling, stressing, perservering for? Often times we are so caught up in getting to our goal that we never really consider whether our goal will satisfy or last. We go to school to get a job. That is a common goal. But many people, once they've got a job, sit around and need to find another goal to strive for. It's the same thing with all other earthly goals, none of them, once they are achieved, give you lasting satisfaction. I am learning the hard lesson of not being consumed by goals right now. I had plans for my education and they made me feel safe and secure and in control. But the realistic truth is, plans always change and no matter how you try, you are not in complete control of what happens in your life. So I'm learning to go to God with all these possibilities for my future and just lay them down before Him. I am learning ...

For those who are patient and thoughtful enough to follow my posts I have a question for you. Do you feel my posts are too long??? ...let me know how you feel. Thanks! =)

I haven't written a post in a while but I have been in deep thought about what I should write about. About two weeks ago a guest pastor did a sermon on Joshua 24 as apart of the wrap up of a family conference. Knowing that this speaker would deliver the message I came to church that sunday wondering whether the message would have any relevance to me. I realized (as I have done in the past) that messages that look to the Word of God are always applicable to every individual. I was truly moved by the message and I considered blogging about it but I decided against it. Oddly enough, since I made that decision the very same passage has come my way two more times and both times have convicted me anew! This has led me to decide that I will indeed spend some time discussing how this passage has blessed me. Joshua 24:14-22 (it's a long passage so please open your Bibles) Joshua gathered Israel together and demanded that they make a choice that day as to whom they would serve. He did th...

Phil and Diani (forgive me if I spelt that wrong!) are getting married today!!! I am very excited for them and pray for their joy on this momentous day in their lives. As a (female) guest at a wedding I am doing what is expected of me. I have gone back in time and am excited like a little girl about dressing up and getting all the bells and whistles of my outfit together. As is the norm things are not working out as they should. I stayed up last night to do my nails, as I waited for them to dry I sent out a mass text to about 12 people and took great joy in watching them all reply back in utter confusion, (I am a girl of simple pleasures). I got up this morning and my nails are ruined, I fell asleep before they dryed completley. I have just finished my first attempt at straightening my hair and it has come out weird. My hair chooses the worst times to put up a fight with me! I have already ironed my sari and put all my jewellry out so instead of getting frustrated I have decided to tak...
