hi, grandma!

I am going to England & Scotland with Alyssa & Grandma in November!
It's a once in a lifetime opportunity, and I am so thankful to have a fun, generous grandma who gives us these great life experiences. Not only that, but she is wise and encouraging, always knowing the right thing to say. And when I moved back to Canada, I wouldn't have been able to do it without her!
She is a huge blessing! [hi, grandma!] :)

grace

living in a traffic/people/noise filled city, I have to take a few minutes each days and remember the peace of God and His grace. there is comfort in His presence, and He calms my spirit.
I just drove across Toronto in rush hour, slamming on my breaks every few seconds for another pedestrian to risk their life running across the road - or a biker riding through the skinny middle of the lanes. my patience wears thin in times like these, but I wouldn't trade being in the city for anything.

there's a lot to be thankful for in this life. [like not running over anyone today! :)]
there is so much beauty & potential here. [in the homeless man walking his dog in the park, giant smile on his face]
these people are God's people, and I need to learn His grace.
