Forgiveness

"Cause we're all guilty of the same things
We think the thoughts whether or not we see them through
And I know that I have been forgiven
And I just hope you can forgive me too..."
~Relient K

This is a link to a true story. I just happened upon it as I was clearing out email from my overflowing university email account. One link led me to another led me to another.
Amazing, really.
God speaks to us. He takes time to speak to us in so many different ways.
Today, He is speaking to me about forgiveness and it is weighing heavy on my heart.

Do you need to forgive someone in your life?

Release them, release yourself...replace the bitterness that is aging you with an energetic joy and peace.

City Hope Summer Camp, 2010

We made it! Six weeks later and not only am I alive, I have many hilarious and many touching stories to tell. Enough for a book.

Our big 'finale' trip to Centre Island is tomorrow, and the forecast couldn't look any better. Thankful is an understatement.

What a crazy, wonderful summer it has been...

Friends.

I am surrounded by so many strong, talented, vibrant, POSITIVE, and nurturing women.
I never have to look far for inspiration or encouragement. Oh, and the occasional kick-in-the-butt. We all need those, too. :)

I'm Yours

Mark has been back home in his native land, England, for a week now.
The primary reason for going to visit his family now was to be the Best Man at Max and Katherine's wedding on July 31st. What an honour. Naturally, he has been tattooing loads there too as people have waited patiently for him to be in the UK so that they could get their work done by Mark.
Adelaide and I have been keeping busy busy busy. Some girlfriends have stayed with us so we have had some yummy food and lots of fun. Yesterday we had a fab time in London with my mom and dad. It's been a good week.
But I miss him like crazy. I heard this playing and wished I had a private jet to see him even a just a little bit sooner...how did we cope with long-distance for two years?!



"...there's no need to complicate, our time is short - this is our fate, I'm yours.."

He arrives from Manchester (where this shaky youtube video was recorded) airport tomorow night at 7:20pm.
Adelaide and I have just blown up balloons and taken the cake out of the oven ;)
We had to get through today somehow!
