It's a Good Day

It's a good day to be alive. The sky is bright, the snow is pretty on the ground (not so on the roads however), and although nothing big is happening in my day I am thankfull to be here. With american thanksgiving on its way i am beginign to think about all that i am thankful for.
1) Family; although all of my family is in NB celebrating this holiday this year, i am blessed to have a loving family, who when push comes to shove come together and supports eachother no matter what. And we have a new addition to the family Baby Michal who by the way is ADORABLE!
2) Work; Although somedays i complain when i get called in for overtime, or am asked to stay late to do Med Pass, over all i am blessed with a Job that i love, and thank God for daily.
3) Friends; I am blessed with some really great friends in my life. I spent the day with my College Rommie yesterday laughing, and talking just enjoying eachother's company. It was so great.
4) Deep Water; I have been so blessed to be able call Deep Water my church home. I am not there as much as i would like what with work and such, however i am so impressed by the vision God has given the church. THier focus on compassion ministy lines up with the desires God has placed on my heart. God is using AJ and his team to impact eternity, Praise Him for that!!!!!
So i guess with all of that and soo much more its a great day to be alive!

It was a little after 7 when i left the floor and headed down to the staff lounge to get my coat and boots. the night had been long filled with much to do. We started the cold walk up the hill to J's apartment. We had decided that it would be easier to stay at her house as she was closer to work then I. We arrived home with enough time to shower, eat, and get ready to leave for church. Tired, it would have been very easy for us to skip we had worked all night after all, we had every reason to stay home. But we didnt, so coffee in hand we went to the theater at Park Lnae where we meet and met with God. . THe worship was great and the message poinient. But i think the thing that hit me the most, was how the crowd lined up to recieve communion. I was filled with emotion to see so many lining up to celebrate the gift Christ gave when he suffered death on the cross. I am in no way capturing the raw emotion i felt in that room, but i guess thats ok, God was in that service today and i am so thankfull to serve the God I serve!

He is here!

HE is here halleluah, HE is here AMEN! That is very evident in the creation of earth, man kind, and the universe, galaxies otherthan and including ours. We watch an incredible video at church yesterday that was so eye opening and well AWESOME! THe worship was excellent as well. I knelt on the floor of the theater in my seat and prayed for Gods continued presence in my life, in the church and with every part of my world. God was there, and how great it was! I am beyond tired and hungry after a loooooong 12 hr shift so i am going to getr some supper, and curl up with some TV, i well deservedc luxuray!!!!

Sometimes I Forget

I just got home. The rain has drenched my hair, and it deffinatley feels like fall in halifax. The family i board with is having thier family christmas get together. The laughter from above seeps down to where i am and i am reminded of christmas's past, where my own family once gathered and laughed, ate, sang and reminiced. How often we take for granted those we love. Perhaps we don't call as often as we should, or maybe we forget to tell them how much they really mean to us. But being miles and miles away from my own family make me realize just how important it really is!
