Christmas...
...was already 3 months ago. Three months = 1/4 of a year. Pretty big chunk of a year, in my opinion, considering that in only 3 more months Christmas will have been half a year ago already, and the last three months went by pretty quickly ( Read more... ) -

Travelling
Calgary is very foggy at the moment, and has been the past couple of days also! As of today, I only have two weeks left here, and I'm very much looking forward to returning home! Normally I wouldn't tell my family the exact date I am coming home because it's always fun to surprise them (even though they nearly choke me with their hugs!), but in ( Read more... ) -
Just a few verses that have been encouraging to me
"My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him. He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved. In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God. Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah." Psalm 62:5-8 -

Canadian Rockies

Quite interesting. The mountains look pretty and blue from far away but right up close lots of them look like forests on hills, and gray. Still a very ( Read more... ) -
The Sound of the New Life...
So, I am feeling a little sick today, physically and also a little homesick, but I'm really happy now because I finally just tried listening to Family Radio on my laptop and it worked!
It's the first time I've listened to Family Radio since coming here. My family usually has FR on so it's also nice to have a little reminder of home. :) The ( Read more... ) -
God's chosen ones...
The weather here in Calgary was absolutely beautiful today. The past few days it was pretty cold, but when I took the dog for his afternoon walk today lots of people were out and almost no one was wearing a heavy coat. I ended up taking mine off, too, because it was just too warm to wear a coat (though I kept my sweater on.) I looked up the ( Read more... )
