Today

To be honest, today was a really good day in a lot of ways. It was long, but filled with people and things that I love.

I attended my dad's church this morning. That's always a little hard, because it's weird to not really be a visitor, but not really belong either. But, I really enjoyed the service today. There was a great worship time, and I enjoyed my dad's sermon on the character of Caleb. I think I'll go back and read a bit about him in the next few days (Caleb that is, not my dad!)

After church I joined my parents and a couple from their church for lunch at the local farmer's market. The guy has been a sort of mentor figure in my life for a long time, and I got the chance to talk with him a bit about some stuff that's come up in my life recently, and about some situations at church that I'm involved in and frustrated by. I love spending time with this couple and their five year old son - he's such a cutie, so smart and funny for a little kid.

After lunch, I fell asleep in an armchair in our living room, watching the classic version of the movie "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" on CBC. I love those old musicals made for families, and I hadn't seen this one since I was a child. I regret falling asleep a bit, and missing the movie, but it was such a relaxing way to spend the afternoon.

Had Vietnamese take out for dinner in a park along the Elbow River with Megs, and then we came home and watched a movie until she had to head to work for her night shift a few minutes ago. We semi-cemented some plans for the future. It's looking like we might move in together sometime in February. So, as soon as I get a job, I'll start saving for a car, and hopefully by February, when Megs returns from Pakistan, I'll have a vehicle and be ready to move in with her. We're also planning a trip to BC together at the end of September - she has a family wedding to attend, and I've been hoping to spend some time with a couple of friends who are living in the Vancouver area.

God, give me peace. Thank you for the people and things you've laid on my heart over this weekend. Continue to reveal your heart to me over the course of this week. I long for deeper relationship with you. I'm in love with you. Guide in the situations of tension I find myself involved with at the moment. Present your clear hand and steps, and make my path known to me. Thank for the blessing of a day spent with family and friends, and the promise of the same tomorrow. Abba, I belong to you. I'm yours. Wherever and whatever you want. I'm there.
