finding strength

"at this, Job got up and tore his robe
and shaved his head.  Then he fell to the
ground in worship and said:
'Naked I came from my mother's womb,
and naked i will depart.
The Lord gave and the Lord has
taken away;
may the name of the Lord
be praised'.
In all this, Job did not sin by charging
God with wrongdoing."
- Job 1:20-22

as i read that passage i feel a lot of conviction......i only hope that i can grow into the faithful kind of Christ-follower that Job was.  i only hope that i can be that in-love with my Maker that through all the misery and pain that life throws at you i will still choose to serve Him, to worship Him, to turn Him. 
i have a lot of things going on in my life right now and i gotta admit that i am struggling through a lot of it.....

i only hope i can grow into that kind of Christ-follower.

the sun makes all the difference

so i posted a little while ago about spring being welcomed...well after that post it went straight back to winter and being freezing and i now realise how much this cold was really affecting how i was feeling and the continuous rain and wind and grey sky was really starting to get to me.....

but i think i can FINALLY for real say the sun is here to stay...... kinda......

the temperature has suddenly got WAY warmer and i don't need to wear a jacket anymore (PTL!!) and today i even wore shorts.............amazeballs!!

Sunday was suuuch a good day, so a friend and i got out and went to Stanley Park and hired a tandem bike and rode around the seawall and took pics of the Spring flowers everywhere etc....and just had an amazing day in the sun and warmth.......it really lifted my mood and made all the difference to my life! 

Not even joking.

Rockies Easter Weekend

I have officially experienced the number 1 highlight of my whole trip.............

The Rocky Mountains. 

Easter weekend a friend and i booked seats on a tour bus with 3 other bus loads all heading on the same adventure.  It was the trip of a lifetime.  Serious.

We saw so much, did so much, met so many people......it was 4 full-on jam-packed days of amazingness.

I want to go back there........ It left me speechless (miracle i know).
