Sup new colours.

... New year, new colours? Yessir!

.. Althought not a new year.. TECHNICALLY speaking... S'all good, yo.

God answers prayer.

God does have that impeccable timing thing down pat, doesn't he? So. Here I was, all worried about next year, and how am I EVER going to sort out what to do? I really didn't want to leave school after my first year, but I committed (both to Pamoja AND myself) that I would go back to help with the Maasai Opera in TZ next year. Major dilemma! But as I visited with Jeremy on Sunday (YAY for seeing the En-kata choir as they were in Victoria!!) I mentioned this to him. In response, he told me not to think about leaving after my first year! And they were going to be writing the script all of next year anyways, so they wouldn't even NEED me yet. 


.. Oh, hey there relief. I was wondering when you'd show up.


Isn't that just SWEET?! I was like.. Huh. That completely gets rid of every anxious feeling I've been having about next year. Life is gooooood! 


Also about Sunday:


I visited with the terrific Hayden and Elaine Waring!! They have an awesome loft apartment in Victoria, and are just.. Well. They're cool. I like them alot. And the choir was GREAT in their performance at the church. Such a passionate group of people, spreading God's vision for their community! It was so exciting to see them in Canada!! I also got to see Lisa, though very briefly... But Victoria isn't so far away. I can definitely visit again! Rebecca and I of course had a fun drive, because... We're fun people? YEAH I'll go with that! We've also decided to go glow-in-the-dark ice skating sometime. THAT will be rad. 


Anyways. Mini-update on cool stuff. Have a goodnight everyone! I have a mid-term tomorrow. Ew.

Tea time thoughts.

My thoughts are increasingly resting on next year. Now, I know I shouldn't be looking so far ahead, as I have things to do in THIS year, and THIS moment, but I think it's human nature to want to have some idea of what lies in front of us. Our plans almost never work out the way we would like them to, but there's such a sense of security in HAVING that plan. The overwhelming need to just know how things will turn out is a feeling that I know I have all the time, but can't STAND. This feeling is us trying to remain in control of our lives, and direct them in the paths which WE believe are the right ones, the paths 'best' for us. Let me tell you, this ain't how it should be. The fact that we have a SOVEREIGN LORD completely nullifies the need to worry about tomorrows. I'm not saying planning is a bad thing, I'm just saying that we shouldn't get so ridiculously attached to our plans, that we shut out the bigger picture. I'm so young still, that it's crazy. What could I possibly worry about, that God hasn't planned for me in the future already? Do I find a boyfriend? Do I go back to Tanzania next year? What program should I go into if I stay? What career path do I want? Blah blah BLAAAHH I tell you! This year I've been working on just straight-up getting closer to my Saviour. He is the way the truth and the LIFE of my soul. Everything else falls into place, and God knowwwwwsssss that I in no way have the skills to make things fall into place on my own. So I leave that part up to him. Holla.
