you are my resting place

Sabbath: a day of rest and worship

I was asked in an interview this week whether I'd rather have a job where there were ups and downs or rather steady. I replied I'd like ups and downs because I love feeling challenged but also having breaks.

This term, I'm doing a ton more. I'm doing small groups, being more involved in KCF, actually meeting new people, studying a ton more, watching NO dramas, reading more, cleaning more, being involved in Konnect, going to church. Yet, although I feel like i'm a million times busier, I'm not overly stressed.

What's the difference?

One thing different this term is the amount of time i'm spending with God. I'm enjoying every moment I get with him and i feel as though I'm renewed when I do take the time to put aside my thoughts and judgements about how the world should be and just ...

rest.

Matthew 11:28 says
"come to me, all you who are weary and burdened and i will give you rest"

I felt so tired this weekend. Frustration from a million things seemed to come to me in one day and I had no one to turn to. Being the immature Christian I am, I didn't even turn to God. It wasn't even something I thought about doing.

Yet when I dragged myself to church on Sunday, I was given so much rest. I was able to stop, slow down, and just be with the person who knows me even more than I do. And through this realization, I was able to lay everything on Him and just...


sigh.

keeping busy

thanks to a ton of encouraging friends and family, this weekend - although crappy - was bearable and i'm anticipating exciting things to happen this week as well as next week (reading week)!

to cure my controlling emotions, i've been keeping busy, focusing on school and especially the 20% environmental health assignement in which i have to learn as much as I can about manganese and what it does to the human body as well as the trends in emissions in canada. it's a pretty cool assignment - i just wish i had more time for it.

then there's stats which... i would love if the prof taught it better.... i think that's my priority during reading week.

i like it.



there's been something that's bugging me for a while too
and i wish i could stop thinking about it
but the more i think about it, the more it comes to me.

I think I found my soulmate hehe
