About me… for real

A little about me…

I love to cook – a friend told me she loves to see me when I’ve cooked something of my choice. It makes me happy. Cooking is an amazing creative outlet. One you can really share with others. Not just to look at, but to eat. Enjoy.

I love music – I love to listen to it, play it (on my acoustic guitar), sing it (privately). Playing my guitar for God is like dancing out loud.

I love children – Most people would tell you that I was born to be a mom. In general, I find that people grossly underestimate children.

I love to dance – Not for people, in fact I’d prefer away from people. I love to dance for God, and with God.

There is more to me of course, but these are a few major passions in my life right now.

Blog Worthy?

What makes a life, an event, or what ever, blog worthy? That is, what is “interesting” enough to be published on the Internet for the world to see?

Recently a friend asked why i hadn’t blogged in so long. I told her that i hadn’t done anything all that interesting. In response she listed off a list of things that i have done recently that people don’t normally get to do on a regular basis.

Is it possibly that in an effort to not brag about ones day to day activities that you can over look how fortunate you are to get such an opportunity?

Since my last post I have quite a job. A job that I love, and that pays pretty well. Not many people can say that about a job, and even fewer people would think of giving up such a job. Why would i quite? I have been blessed with great friends. When my friends needed me, I went. I left my job with enough money saved up to go to the other end of the country for 3 months.

So lets look at what we’ve got so far… A great job, great friends, and a 3 month break from small town Alberta.

I had an awesome time. I went to support my friend, and ended up being so encouraged and lifted up. Lifted up by people that I had never met before. i (apparently) am easy to get attached to. I adopted myself a new grandma, who was surprised that someone my age had things to teach her.

Now I am back “home” (home is a very fluid term because i am a military kid), trying to get back into my life. I start back at my great job in September. Praise God, they called me first! I can’t fixed anyone else’s life, i can only offer my love. I am getting on with my life. Meeting new friends, and getting to know old friends better. I am letting life come to me, instead of trying to chase it around.

I am happy. I have people that love me. I am able to do a job that I love, that makes it so I have a roof over my head, and food in my belly. I live in one of the wealthiest countries in the world. I am blessed, and i plan on continuing to pass on the blessings in my life.
