This Is Good...

Bible study was on Tuesday and I've been marinating on this thought for the past couple days so obviously it needs to be shared. We had the privilege of two ladies coming in to mentor us and lead our study for us and Tuesday night was basically introductions and we got on to a tangent of using "stuff" to make you happy, or what you relate happiness to. So some usual things would be drinking, partying, sex, drugs, rock and roll and such. For example: you smoke pot to relax, therefore you relate pot smoking to happiness and relaxation and your brain then thinks that is what needs to be done to feel this way and nothing else will suffice, whereas you need to relate happiness to God. Thinking this through I immediately knew that I related happiness to attention and affection from others. In my head that's what love is, I crave attention and get easily jealous, and without it (as you have come to see from reading my blog) I get low and unhappy. Crazy, but makes so much...

I cry out love keep your arms around me, I am the bird that's in need of grounding. So two of my pals are getting married this Saturday and boy oh boy am I excited! It'll be a This Is Good moment for the record books. Mostly I'm stoked to see them gussied up and looking their best for the groom in particular wears crocs on a daily basis and seeing him in a tux and dress shoes will be monumental for us all. But the thing is as these two are about to swan dive in to marital bliss I am left feeling ucky and grey like the horizon as it leaves me to wonder about my own endeavors in love, or in the words of Greg Sczebel "love and the lack thereof." I'm still caught up on the Mister of days past (the one who I am supposedly over.) I am left wondering about him and his life and continually getting jealous of those who get to spend time with him, but alas this too shall pass and fizzle out like all the others have. Therefore I am left to ponder about the man who I am w...

I am afraid for no one's ever sacrificed or loved me this way... Wow. Yesterday was a powerful day to say the least. I moved churches about four months ago and have been blessed to attend a place where I have a copious amount of friends, and although our numbers aren't massive, our preachers aren't as gifted as others I have heard before, we are blessed in innumerable ways. I had the privilege of leading worship yesterday and it warmed my heart. I hadn't realized how much I had missed it and although I was super nervy and wanted to retch God worked through me and helped me to reach the congregation. After church I went to work and on the car ride home after my shift my Mom opened up and shared some information. She said how proud she was of me and my love for the Lord and how touched she was when she was watching me praise Him that morning. She also shared how heartbroken and confused she was that I could end up loving God with all my heart whereas my sister, who was br...

So it's official, it's Fall, and I love it! Although as I am wearing a sweater and flip flops I am slightly confused as it's still really warm out! So as it is fall there are leaves changing, pumpkins are appearing and, NEW FALL FASHION! and, of course, new TV shows to watch! My two new favourite shows are "New Girl" with one of my favourite girls ever Zooey Deschanel. I simply adore her and I was thoroughly impressed by the pilot episode. Her little song that she sings "It's Jess!" made my life and the douchebag jar was also classic, needless to say I laughed continuously. The other show is "Broke Girls" with the one and only Kat Dennings, whom I also love. The pilot opened with her in the diner reaming out some hipster dudes that "wear knitted caps because of Coldplay" although she wears them because "it's actually cold." I must give a honourable mention to her co-stars who also keep the punchlines rolling, and not...

Well folks, it's been a while, and frankly there isn't too much newsworthy stories to report, but in the same right, so much has happened. A this is good moment happened just over a week ago, all of us girls went to WildPlay adventure for M's bachelorette extravaganza. Me, being the biggest worry wart ever was seriously nervy about climbing around and doing zip lines up in the air but I am so proud of myself! I finished the whole course and only had one little melt down, and the zip lines were so much fun! My new favourite mode of transportation, I am definitely going again. We finished the night by ingesting way too many carbs and playing silly games as we got to know each other better (a little too well actually!) Other than that school has been going really well, work is looking up, and I've fallen in and out of love with someone in a matter of weeks. Not even a month yet has passed and I've finally removed the scales from my eyes, shaken my head at myself in ...

So I am infatuated with something and that something is getting mail, I don't care if it is only my union updates or a flyer from the Christian Book Store (actually I love those cause they usually come with coupons) but when I get a letter, I am full of glee. Therefore I would like to write you a letter, message me your address either in a comment on here or via my email amymightbe@hotmail.com or my facebook account and I promise, you will receive. Much love and the written word- Amy

Okay so they posted Imadene photos last night I guess and after perusing them I cannot get over this one as it is the eptiome of 'This is good." Let me fill you in: At camp they always have a talent night/ chill night where campers can share their "talents" with the rest of the camp, some people sing, some people do silly dances, we, well we did a skit. We were Wayne's World. We took the framework of this skit from our dear friend Mary, basically Wayne had acquired a candy shop and after a few questions pertaining to our knowledge from the movie such as asking if there was Jelly donuts and red rope licorice for the MerthMobile Garth then asked if there were any lollipops in the store, looking around Wayne could not find any, although there were three suckers over there! Now you may be wondering how this punchline works, well, we picked three lovely boys from the audience and positioned them in to some abfab poses and let them stand in silence while we develope...

I had a weird epiphany this morning that needs to be written out, just go with it. On my box of Oatmeal Crisp I was given the opportunity to get a free beach towel! Score right? Wrong, as I went to the website it told me that I was no longer entitled to this beach towel for they had ran out of supplies. Bogus! Now I know that this was a free gift and therefore losing out on it really doesn't mean much for it wasn't mine in the first place, but what kind of person says you can have something free, no strings attached, and then just changes their mind. What if God did that? What if the free gift of His love was suddenly taken away from us because he simply ran out. He simply grew tired of loving us with no reciprocation and decided enough was enough, we are cut off. That thought just made me want to puke, my stomach is legit in knots right now. Praise the Lord that He is good and will never ever cease to love us!!! There is so much comfort in that. Anyhow, I am going out ...

Faith as small as a mustard seed can move mountains.... WOW. Looking back on the week I just experienced I am left utterly speechless. I was blessed with a group of 12 girls that impacted me in ways I did not expect. I went into that week anticipating having to be a witness for God, to be perfect in my christian ways, and to have to uphold this level of righteousness, but, in the end, these girls were a witness to me and encouraged me to grow deeper in my relationship with Christ. As I went in to leading them closer, they in turn, ended up leading the way. As I was drawn closer to the Lord, being brought to tears in almost every chapel, I came to the realization that enough was enough, that the Lord's love is enough for me, that it will always satisfy, that I need to stop searching for love from others and cling to Him. This was really hard for as always there was a guy there that I really connected with, and with having him show interest not only for me, but for others I was jeal...
