... Fearfully and wonderfully
Heh. So sorry about that last entry that cut off in the middle of a sentence. I was on a computer in the library in Camrose, and someone had it booked for 3:00 (which they neglected to tell me when I logged on), and I had to log off right away, and another machine didn't become available.
Laurel and I are at a library in Edmonton--we don't have a dinner invitation for tonight, so we're on our own, which means that we don't have a couple of hours in the afternoon and then a couple of hours in the evening free--we have the whole thing. So we drove up here, and have just been walking around, window shopping and stuff.
We've got great kids, but I can't say that I'll be sad to leave this town, in any way, shape, or form. Our next 3 towns are at least within a 20 minute drive of something bigger. Heh. Always "something bigger." Doesn't matter what size the place we are is... we just want "something bigger."
Hmmm. $45 went missing from my purse yesterday. I am not impressed, especially since I don't know who could have done it. There are very few people who had access to it in that time frame, and I can't see any of them taking it.
Irritating. Very. Not impressed.
Anyways. I can't believe that after this week, the summer will be half over. It's flown by--I was walking around on Whyte Ave today, and realizing that the last time I was here was with Lynsae when Jen was visiting. That was only 2 1/2 months ago, but for some reason, it feels like a lot longer than that. It feels like I haven't been here in forever.
This computer is really irritating. It doesn't give me a toolbar along the bottom, so even though I have a few windows open, I can't just switch back and forth without closing one to go to the other. Grrr.
Anyways, I only get an hour on here, so I'm going to go write an entry for the spark, and finish off so I don't get kicked off.
One year ago today: It's been so amazing to look back on this whole experience and see God's hand in it. Of course, I started seeing that long before I left, but I'm seeing so many more of the puzzle pieces coming together now than I did then. I see more of the purpose behind the fact that I didn't make the team in the first place, the timing of when I did make it, some of the reasons why I was able to be away from home when I was, and so much more. It's incredible, really. It's such an amazing space to be in... so awe-filled. Over the entire trip, even on the bad days, there was still a sense of awe and wonder about the whole thing... like it was a gift that, even when it wasn't the best day, it was still so amazing that I couldn't be completely negative about it.
