I just wanted to stop by this spot to thank GOD for blessing me to have found a few of my closest friends and to have been found by a few. Talk about a blast from the past. It's all worth it when you reconnect with the people you use to love and hang with as youngins. Now that we're all adults and have moved on in our lives, to be found again is such a blessing. Now I can introduce them to the people I love most in the world, my family and allow them to be blessed by what they can bring to their lives.
GOD IS GOOD, ALL THE TIME!

Make a difference !!
I always thought being a missionary meant that you had to devote 2 years of your life in some remote location in the middle of a third world country with no running water etc etc, well you get the picture. If you’re like me the thought of no hairdryer or razor for at least 2 weeks is not that enthralling so imagine going 2 years!
I recently listened to an amazing man and friend share his passion for missionary work. Turns out you can go to the third world countries if that is what you are being called to do but you don’t have to go for 2 years . You can spend a week in that third world country helping to build schools and helping people start their own business.
Also turns out that you can be a missionary in your own back yard and that got me to thinking, how can I make a difference ? The little old lady that can’t mow her yard, the sick that can’t get out to buy groceries to the homeless person that might not get to eat today. What can I do? We sometimes get so wrapped up in our own little world that we fail to realize that there are people in the world, sometime our own neighbours who struggle.
So I ask you. Can you be a missionary? Can you make a difference? I know I can !!

Changes
Ok so its been a little while since I wrote on here. I told myself I would write more and then guess what? Too busy, life gets in the way, excuses excuses! So here goes.
Life teaches you lessons. Sometimes they are lessons you don't want to learn. Like don't plan so much . It doesn't matter what you plan or what you think you need to plan. It's not really our plan anyway is it. Sometimes those lessons are hard to learn especially when the lesson you are being taught is one you should have learned already.
So tomorrow I am going to plan for dinner and plan what to wear but the big stuff I am leaving up to HIM. Instead of planning I will just BE.
