Excited for life!

Sometimes I just get excited for life and what's going on. For example, right now I'm excited to be here in PEI, I'm excited for summer in Hamilton, and I'm excited to return back to PEI next fall and start a full year of MCC. I'm excited for camp, excited to find work, excited to meet new people, and excited for those warm summer nights of goofing off on the front porch with my sisters. And as I think of all these excitements I need to realize that these things will come and go, these things will pass and then what? Although they bring happiness, they are temporary, and they are not the makings of pure joy. Joy is not necessarily happiness, but eternal satisfaction in the presence of the Holy Sirit in our lives and the blessings associated with it. We will still face trials and times of pain, but in us dwells a power greater than all evil ready to overcome.

When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought joy to my soul.
-Psalm 94:19

Exciting plans may come and go, but we can always look to our Joy in Jesus Christ.

Shabam!


It has been O' so long since I've graced all my friend with a post. It's been quite eventful here on the island, lots of Java and lots of sick. Man I feel like death lately, it'll be good to get rid of this flu. On a lighter note, I have managed to clean my room, mostly, AND I bought a dress for $2.99. .just thought I'd share that. Wow. . I really don't have a lot to say right now, my brain is pretty much mush. So that's all for now I guess,
