Scripture to live off on...

"You will keep in perfect peace her whose mind is steadfast, because she trusts in you. Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD, the LORD, is the Rock eternal." Isa 26: 3-4

"Yes, LORD, walking in the way of your laws, we wait for you; your name and renown are the desire of our hearts. My soul yearns for you in the night; in the morning my spirit longs for you." Isa 26:8-9

SNOW Storm!!!

So you'd think I"d stay home and keep on the 'down-low'...but nooo! I've been feeling sick for the entire week and I had a crummy, restless night (had two bad dreams in succession) and was just feeling like I needed to worship together and fellowship with others and be prayed for...so in one of the worse blizzards in 10 years (so the weather guys say...)...I dug my car out and ventured out into 30-40cm fresh snow!

What a fantastic day! Praise You, Lord Father! Unrestrained to sing my heart out unto Him who is Worthy with church family. Great sermon. Prayed with Sarah (thank you!) and went out for lunch with Jackie & Dennis. I teared up when I thought that without church family here in Hamilton, my life would be entirely different and ....sad.

I had a fantastic day driving (against OPP's recommendations) from one library to the next, only to find most things closed due to the storm. Went to get groceries, flowers, Christmas decorations, a retractable car snow shovel, car blanket, movies, and made my way back.

Then got all excited about cleaning up my house!! Packing, sorting through mail, vacuuming, washing dishes...already did 4 loads of laundry yesterday... now I"m eating dinner. Will do some home errands (backlog of emails etc..) and then quiet down to read and maybe watch a movie?
I usually like my Sundays much quieter and reflective, but not today!! ;0) Today was about celebrating the joy and peace and freedom we have as we worship Him in Spirit and in Truth throughout every moment.

Thank you Lord! I love you!

p/s only 1 more week left before a chunk of time off!!! scheming what to bake already...and who to invite over for meals...

Tyrone is BACK!! It's a HAPPY happy day!!!

Ty-Rooonnne.

Tyrone the Chaperone is BACK!

And I can't wait to hug him all night long. I miss him. Haven't need his services since I moved into my new place 1.5 yrs ago.

To be honest, I'd rather hug Baski the Protector, but Baski is busy lov'in all my other stuffed animals in the Right Hand Corner of my bedroom.

So I swallowed my pride and discretely shoved (gently) Tyrone into the dryer at the Westdale Laundromat, propelling him out of the black Fortino's-bought garbage bag...put 30 mins worth of quarters in, and drove to meet up with my second 'after-church-lunch-tea-catch-up-with-close-friends' gig at Timmies.

I guess someone else needed to use that PARTICULAR dryer (eventhough there are many...but true, a few are 'out of service'), and I was 1.5 hours later than my 30mins, so there Tyrone was, gleefully grinning to all of those poor, cold university students without their own laundry facilities, lov'in on them from his perched spot: a respectful and sensitive spot someone so delightfully put him, on top of the ledge in the middle of the room.

I stuffed him back into the black garbage bag and wisked him back into my car, all the while feeling all warm and fuzzy about having Tyrone back, dust-free and clean for my sensitive, reactive-airway-ed-lungs-dependent-on-symbicort predicament.

I don't know what I'll do when I have to move in 7 months...all my precious stuffed animals from all over the world...to orphan them would be down-right heartless, to give them away to good homes...yes, a possibility...only if I find each of them a loving friend and only if they go with a sibling...

well, i can pray about it.
-----
For now, at this very moment, as I consider the more pressing serious realities of my life and what I'll have to do tomorrow (Monday) morning and afternoon, my hope and prayer from the last week to next is simple:
Endeavouring to fix my eyes on Jesus and to worship God through all the days and moments of my life.
Oh Lord, pls come.
