Well, I had almost forgotten about this blog I had started last year. But I was reminded when I couldn't sleep and I was surfing through my collection of phone apps.
A lot has happened in my life since Christmas 2013...I won't mention any of it, mostly because you've probably heard most versions.
Well, I'm back at SBC-full time. Yep, can't wait to graduate. Look at me go - focusing on the future-all the time. I'm taking class; Christian History, Romans, Youth Min Design and Health and Wellness. All interesting for the most part. Well all except one, Health and wellness is a bore... Consisting of a well educated nurse man reading from slides to biology which interest me about as much as the rest of most science...so not at all.
I got a job at Boston Pizza; yep! I'm a cook. Surprising? Well exciting anyway. I work with mostly teens and the odd young adult. It's mostly a chaotic atmosphere of learning the different stations; pizza and sandwich build, all sorta of salads, deep frying fatty foods. It's a good change of pace from the school that usually stresses me out more than a supervisor asking me why there is a 15 minute hold on Nachos.
Where is God in the midst of all of my busyness? That's a question I need to keep asking. I don't want to say I forget about Him or the Hilarity (a unique word used from one of my Romans commentary meaning joy) in which he gives me... And I try not to forget how to find hope and stillness in the rest of His creation.. In the grace of his son Jesus or the mysterious flamboyant Holy Spirit. But I do forget to appreciate him; likely more than I want to. I guess that's the thing with the life I live. I live in a world full of distractions and time spent for the benefit of only myself. Dang, living to honour something that's so beyond us and virtually physically invisible is challenging. If we are created for the purpose of living out the will of God it is at times terrifying, rather humbling and full of questions that can't always solve it's mystery.
Below is a picture that's reminded me of the mystery of His awe filled presence.
Anyway life's mostly good here in Steinbach. I appreciate your thoughts and prayers.
