Crossroads...

I have so much on my mind, so many memories, friends, experiences, hopes, dreams, and places. Yet I cannot seem to find words to express myself; it is a weird feeling. There are so many roads that we are given the choice to walk on but choosing the right one is a troubling thing. A good friend read me a passage recently from Jeremiah that has stuck with me since he read it.

This is what the Lord says: "Stop at the crossroads and look around. Ask for the old, godly way, and walk in it. Travel its path, and you will find rest for your souls." Jeremiah 6:16

There are many times that I over-think the choices that I am given. It is hard to remember to take a look around and ask for the Godly way. I am blessed to have a great community of family and friends to help me along the way.

Please help me to remember to take a look around. Help me choose the Godly way. Calm my heart. Amen.


Be well, friends.

A Good Weekend...

This weekend I helped out at a youth event here in Norquay. These youth events take on a bit of a different feel when you are not in Jr. High anymore. I really wanted this weekend to go well and I think it did. It was really cool to see how the kids interacted and built relationships with each other even though they had never met or heard of each other. God was at work this weekend in many different ways.

In a week or two I leave for Alberta to be in the mountains and do some fishing and hiking. That will be sweet.

Thank you for friends and community. Give me strength and wisdom for the upcoming summer.

Amen.


Be well, friends.

I cannot compete with Eric...

I refuse to succumb to the video blog or "vlog" as Eric calls it; mostly because I am shy and I feel that by typing my thoughts instead of saying them, I leave less room for criticisms. I am just kidding about the criticism part, I don't care if you criticize me or not but, I am shy.

Today I found myself missing many things. I miss my friends that have moved from this small town, my friends that I have left in Winnipeg/Prov, but mainly the mountains. I would have given (almost) anything to have been fishing on the Bow River today, it would have been swell. Oh well, soon I hope.

As May has arrived, I feel a sense of nervousness about many things. But I know that in the end it will work out for the better either way. The conference wide youth event "Jam 2.0" is coming up and I hope it goes well.

Anyways, I hope you all are enjoying where you are at in this fine May.

Dear Father, bless my friends and family here at home, in Winnipeg/Prov, and also the dude's that have moved away. Give me peace and comfort knowing that you have a plan. Amen.

Be blessed, friends.
