Jesus said to him, "I tell you, not just 7 times, but 7*70 times!"

(But there's a full moon risin'
Let's go dancin' in the light
We know where the music's playin'
Let's go out and feel the night)

I bought new hand sanitizer, and I think it burns my skin.
---
I have the day off tomorrow :) Yay!
I'm going to sleep in until 9, make breakfast... scrambled cheesy eggs and toast... watch my favourite Wednesday morning show... Survivorman!... then head out and see some friends. Then I'll come home, finish cleaning my room (yea right), and then try and create a masterpiece on my new canvas... 12''x36''.
Sounds like a great day!
---
I feel like going to Toronto.
---
Picasso, my fish... stares at me funny.
---
I love Lifehouse. There's something relaxing yet upbeat and energetic about their music. I find they fit with any of my moods.... whether I'm reflecting and having some Jesus time, or cleaning my room and dancing around with my cat... they just fit and I love it.

Deadliest Catch is a great show.
---
Telus commercials are genius.
---
Cellphones create more problems then they solve.

The cat is calling me to bed... so I should go...

Feels Like Summertime

It's been a long time since I've blogged. Not sure what happened there... just forgot about it I guess. There's only 98 days until the end of 365. Crazy to think how fast the time has flown... I've lived in Ottawa for almost a whole year now. And it's been a pretty intense year....
---
I've had a lot of ups and downs over the past couple of months. September to November went pretty well, but sometime after that, life started resembling a roller coaster ride. Up and down and totally unpredictable. Right now, things are pretty good. God is showing himself to me in crazy ways and my faith is climbing to a high again. He really is an amazing and faithful God.

I took a 7 hour bus ride to Kitchener last Sunday so I could spend the week with my best friend Jenn who was getting married this weekend. I was totally nervous to take the bus and transfer in Toronto because I'd never done that before and I didn't know how the system worked or where to go.... but God came through for me. I was sitting at the Ottawa terminal, waiting for the bus and trying to calm my nerves, when Dorothy came along. Cute little old lady started chattin it up with me and showed me the postcards she just bought in Nova Scotia. Her company brought a slight peace to my nerves and we chatted about all kinds of things.... all the way to Toronto. I'll admit, she did talk a little too much, but it's ok, she was cute haha. When we got to Toronto, she showed me where to go and bought me a sandwich because they didn't take debit and that was all I had. Then we parted ways and I made it to Kitchener safe and sound.
---
If God didn't send Dorothy, I would have gotten totally lost and freaked out the entire time... and, I would have gone hungry.
---
The Lord provideth because I stinketh.

(We are all like Lazarus in one way or another...)
---
The wedding was beautiful. Jenn was the prettiest bride I've ever seen and I was so proud to stand in their wedding. Jenn and Shawn are going to be happy for a long long time. :)
---
OOooOoo and I got a super rad summer job that I can't wait to start. Kids bring out the best in me and I'm very excited to hang out with the other team members. God is cool in providing such an awesome job that suits me completely.
---
School starts in September... finally get back to studying and labs! I love labs! And photography labs will rock! Photography 24-7.... best life ever :)
---
I thank God for true friendships that last forever, even if a disconnection due to distance happens for awhile. I'm glad he brought us back together :)
---
Tea flowers are pretty.

I love you Daddy <3

God's Amazing Power

In Christ Alone

In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
'Till on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost it's grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Brought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
'Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand
