The rich smell of mahogany....

Groan.... I need to move.

Friday night involved me and a good pal going to my favourite Island city, Victoria, and spending a fantastic evening with a grand group of mates, but, alas, we had to return home and instead of getting a 'fix' from seeing my dearest friends I am now left missing them even more than before.

I've always been told that God places us in certain places at certain times and although I'd like to think Duncan needs me I can't help feeling a tad out of sorts when I think of all the things waiting for me elsewhere.

It's the age old situation of you don't know what you've got til it's gone and man have my eyes been opened to all I am missing out on.

I just keep imagining how much happier and satisfied with my life I would be if I could just have it my way, if I could just be around those who are dearest to me but then I realize even if I could have it my way I would always be wanting more for I will never be truly satisfied if I don't find satisfaction if God and God alone.

I mean it's not like I'm completely devoid of anything worthwhile here, it's just I have so much ambition for myself and I can't help feeling like a salmon that's too big for the Cowichan river.

Guess for now I'm just stuck with itchy feet and frequent malahat travels.

Much love and greener grass-- Amy

    I feel you. It doesn't matter where you go, there are always amazing people in other places you wish you could be with. It's hard not to think "I'm missing out" no matter where you are. Thank God we don't have to miss out on Him.

    Where do you get your pictures from? They are always so good!

    Hey! some of them are my own but a large majority of them are from tumblr :) I just go to tumblr.com/explore and usually click on fashion or portraits and just look through them.

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.

Daddy here I am...

Image
Yesterday was my Dad's birthday, and frankly my first thought was: big whoop. Our relationship with one another is slightly strained as my parents are divorced and I live with my Mom but I thought he deserved a little hang sesh with yours truly. So, this morning we went for breakfast and while we were chit chatting I realized my Dad is fifty years old! FIFTY! Apparently he isn't too happy about this and when I asked how his birthday was he said, "rather depressing." For a young person getting older is the best part of our life. We live for the milestones, 10 years, 13, 16, 19, and so on and so forth, but when do we get to the point in our lives when we no longer want to grow older? When does our mind shift from trying to act mature to acting like a kid half our age? My Dad is going through what would be classified as "a mid-life crisis." (although most of his life has been rather ridiculous) He invites his bosom buddy from next door over and they drink like

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
