Look inside my heart, and be amazed


Sometimes I really just don't wanna go to work. I want to lay in bed all day, sing random songs in my head (seriously I do this) and just be a vegetable. But I somehow manage to pull myself out of bed and get to work only to have a fantastic encounter with a stranger that changes my whole mindset about work, until the next time that is.

Yesterday was one of those days, arriving at work things turned out alright as I got to work an express til (best!) after a few hours of monotonous scanning a little girl and her mom came through my til the mom and I chatted while I made funny faces at the little girl. As they were about to leave the little girl pulled at her mom's hand and whispered something to her, the mom responded by saying "No you can tell the lady." I expected her to ask for a lollipop or something but as she climbed onto the counter she simply looked me in the eye and said, "You're beautiful." As tears welled up in my eyes I said "thanks sweetie, you are too!" and that was that.

Out of the mouths of babes hey? My heart was softened instantly and my whole demeanor changed as this girl broke me down by two little words.

Have a great day all, you're beautiful!

xoxo Amy

I'm just a lovesick fool....

Ugh it's official the so called "love bug" has bitten and it's gettin itchy folks. I hate it when they text you and then you reply and it takes ages for them to get back to you, it's practically instantaneous people! Like c'mon. My friend D was recently engaged in one of these situations and she was all stoked on the prospect of a possible new boy in her life, until he totally crumpled that hope into a paper ball and tossed in into the garbage can by completely blowing her off. I wonder if that is what God feels like when we ignore Him. Does He pace back and forth, pulling on His hair waiting for us to reply to His text message? Does He freak out when He finally receives a reply and all it says is "K." It kind of changes my whole perspective of the situation. But for now I'm just going to relish in the fact that God never ignores us when we initiate contact, even if that super cute guy does. Damn those biceps, they get me every time.

I'll be there for you, cause you're there for me too...

My body is so filled with excitement right now it's disgusting. My friend and I are about to embark on our own "Most excellent adventure" . Her birthday is coming next week along with her reading break and I booked the whole week off of work so we can initiate what we will refer to as "Super epic birthday week." We intend to re-hash all of our radtastic adventures such as going to Saltspring, Victoria, and a myriad of crazy experiences in between. I am so stoked! You know the type of friend I mean, the one who knows you inside and out, knows just what to say when you need to hear it, and most of all, loves you not for who you are but in despite of who you are. I have many good friends but very few compare to this girl. The thing is, this little lady friend of mine, is really the only one who just "gets" me. We've been buds since the seventh grade but it really wasn't until we graduated that this huge bond grew between us. We have so many memori...

There's a reason that I love this town...

So if you were in Duncan yesterday you would have to agree that it was gorgeous out! Looks like Spring has finally appeared and is trying to stick around. Seriously though I love where I live sometimes. We are surrounded by so much green, lush, nature that I am constantly being reminded of God's glory and infinite beauty. The day would not of been complete without a visit to the Corfield Cafe in the Duncan Garage so I went and ordered some lunch as per usual but this time instead of enjoying the atmosphere inside I took my meal to go. Wandering around I decided to take a seat in this little park wedged between some buildings right down town. Now usually when you walk past there are homeless people scattered all around but today it was vacant and waiting for me. While the sun warmed my back I finished my super delicious meal and made my way into the downtown core to read my book. After a while I started to feel rather lonely. I'm reading "Irresistible revolution" by Sh...
