Communion in community

A friend approaches Two pieces of bread soaked in wine in each hand A simple gesture outside of the meaning. But there is meaning Communion Together Out of our pews, out of our individual minds and concerns, coming together We eat We hug Understanding We are both saved under the same cross We worship

Amazed

I was feeling a bit frustrated and down this morning when I woke up - no reason in particular I think I am just a tad overwhelmed with school (yes I know it has been two weeks). People aren't kidding when they say that nursing is a lot of work - oy. Then I met my friend Amanda and we worked out this morning, nothing intense, but it was great to get out of the house, do something that is good for me and chat with Amanda. Then Driving home I was feeling disappointed in myself that I still haven't been doing my devotions as much as I like to (Which would be daily). Just feeling a bit far from God - which I know isn't possible since He is always around, just for myself, feeling a bit disconnected. Then I got home and settled in to re-watch my anatomy lectures since they fly through them during class and I usually miss half of the important stuff. Then God became close, through my lecture, God was here...I am AMAZED at the detail of the human body and I was findi...

University

Let the late nights and early mornings begin . . .

Two Weeks of Summer

I had a two week break in between mohawk and McMaster - here are some pictures of what I did, they are mostly of Amaris' second B-day and the day I spent fishing with my cousins! Amaris Turns Two - So we ate a lot of candy, early in the morning  Went fishing with my cousins - I suck  I found a frog, then my cousins speared it and used it as bait.  The scenery is pretty shabby Pretty much the only thing I caught all day Just before the frogs heroic death Tim decided to jump in the water - it was cold as you can tell by the amount he is sucking in Well there ya go! Have a great weekend everyone!! - Kim

Book Your Own Face

Image
My facebook is gone . . . for many reasons The main one being it is a MAJOR time suck and I really don't have hours to spend looking at all your lovely faces, liking your hilarious status and tagging you in embarrassing pictures. Also, I spend more time on FB then I do reading my Bible - there's a problem with that. There are other reasons but those two are the big ones. I may re activate over Christmas holidays... In the meantime I will post pictures and stuff on my blog, which will be updated ALWAYS now since I don't have FB distracting me! Anyways, it's late - school is tiring - and I am starting to believe that my psychology course is ACTUALLY a psych experiment which involves stressing out your students by not teaching - but basically shooting a video of your voice and stupid graphics and then making them do a ridiculously difficult quiz based off of above mentioned stupid videos. That was my evening . . . I'm leaving you with this awesome video...

Sabbath

I am sitting at school on my two hour break today just catching my breath. Today has been a whirlwind, Tuesdays are my longest days I am at the school from 830-630 and I am just feeling a tad overwhelmed with the massive amounts of information being thrown my way. I am a very organized person and I like structure, there are still a lot of un answered questions regarding my timetable when it comes to tutorials/labs/lectures and I hear 6 different things from people who are no more knowledgable then me and its frustrating. I am excited for this first week to be over because then I will have gone to all my classes and got a bit of a taste of how this whole university thing is going to work. Aside from all the confusion and newness I LOVE IT! I am right where I belong and I have never felt Gods direction so clear for my life as I do when I am within the compounds of this school. So, yes it is a bit muddled right now but I am not going to stress about it, the little things are going to ...

Unsettled

School is great, so great. It is actually the one place in my life right now where I am finding stability, no wait, I also find my stability at Eucharist . . . but other than that I am just feeling unsettled. I thought that by 23 I would really "know" who I was, really have myself figured out, but then again, if I had myself figured out I think I would be boring . . . I know what direction I am headed and I am doing my best to go in that direction with confidence in my abilities and confidence in knowing that I have a lot to offer. Yet I am unsettled, I know that for the next four years I am not going to have the opportunity to just pack up and jump on a plane and head somewhere random. I am unsettled and having a hard time finding where I fit in, I feel like I am so many roles and it's hard to distinguish which one is priority. I am a "mature" student (strictly because of my age) I am a daughter I am a support worker I am a sister I am an "...
