Life Cycle

The days, weeks and years seem to fly by running one into the next. The only break that we get we fill with more activities then we can handle. It leaves one to wonder as they stand still watching the world fly past in circles not going any where but feeling like we are. What is this life all about? We wake up every morning: eat, sleep, poop, and start all over again. Letting some meaningless task fill up the other few hours of the day. Some times I want to think that I am the center point of all the activity but then I step back and realize that I am just one Cog in a mass machine we call society. Rubbing, bumping, grinding, against other people. I guess this is my purpose, to keep spinning, moving, when needed. Doing the best I can to carry my share of the load of life are you carrying yours?

What to say?

Well it's been awhile since I have last taking the time to write something. So I suppose an update is long past due. The question is what have I been up to? As I ask myself and ponder what the last week or so has consisted of the biggest thing would be work. The Smoothie Bar that I am working at is slowly becoming more efficient and busy as the summer moves on. Hard to believe that just a week or so ago schools let out and summer arrived in full swing. I am know working full time at Urban Apeel (the smoothie bar) the days and hours go by fast when customers are crowding through the door. Then I leave and come home to eat before going to Joe's which is also a really good time as it gives me a chance to reconnect, talk with other staff that are believers as well as kids and learn what life is like out side of the love of God. That sounds a little harsh but it's true I really have no idea what people are going through in their lives. But to sit and listen and learn is the best thing for me to do. Talking with a friend today that is seeking was good to know that all I am is a tool in God's hand. Living on the prairies has brought me to understand much more of life and how each person is dependent on one another. It helps so much to carry the load of each others problems allowing us to live freely in God's presence, taking care of each other. By putting myself out there and working past what is expected has brought me to a place where I am comfortable and satisfied. I am a servant of Christ and as such I work not for man but for God and I know that I am suppose to work hard no matter what the job whether it is making smoothies or digging a whole or hanging out with a friend because they are lonely these are the task that God has giving me and in return he has blessed me in more ways then I realize. This is where I am and this is where I will stay until I am called away.

Here is a little glimpse of God's glory in the form of a Prairie storm there are so many of them. I am writing this with thunder rolling and lighting flashing out side. Thank you Lord for your awesome power, glory and light.

mission accomplished.

Well I came home for a time of relaxation and hanging out with friends and family. Needles to say my mission has been accomplished. The primary purpose for the trip was to surprise and delight my Dad as it was his 50th birthday, this as well was mission accomplished. During my time here I have talked with a good amount of old friends playing Frisbees golf and going out for coffee. Most of the time I spent my days sitting around at home watching T.V. and playing video games with my brother. Although I have enjoyed this break, I am tired of feeling useless I am looking forward to going back to Moose Jaw and busying my self with work and helping out at Joe's Place. But for know i still have a day of travel and day to relax before reentering the life I love. as for my family I will miss them but not enough to move back here to Ontario.
