Jesus Loves Me ...

So, I need to try to make this post pretty short, as I'm at work and will need to go to our weekly Marketing Meet pretty soon, to hear about stuff that I don't really care about and have no control over, or ownership ~ at least that's how I feel, haha.

Work has been a real struggle for me lately, not just because of WHAT I am doing, but just in being CONTENT about things. Oh, how difficult it is to just be content!  Life will always have ups and downs and we are really only in control of HOW we decide to respond to our situations.  I have responded not well in some instances and great in others.

We moved our office about 3 weeks ago (well, WE didn't decide, the company did) from our deluxe roomy, cadilac of a space (with windows and freedom and a great creative, peaceful energy) to a smaller, stuffy, green flourescent room upstairs. I have had a hard time with the change and really got to the point where I just needed to suck things up and get over it.

I am thankful to have my job, but there are some days it just gets hard, and I wonder, how long will I be in this corporate place. Slaving away just to meet my bills.  We really are imprisoned by our possessions, our lifestyles ~ I feel like that when there is no way out, or that is what it seems.

But I am looking for other work, and each day now I try to be thankful for something, anything, for in the end, it's God's grace alone that even woke me up to another day.  I get to see the ocean, ever big, beautiful and wide. And I get to meditate on the fact that His love is Wider, His love is Deeper, I cannot comprehend!! and that's alone is overwhelming.

Quite awhile ago I had sort of "revamped" (if you will) an old children's song, only for myself at first. I did share it with our church actually, a couple weeks ago during our children's service, and I finally recorded it for an amazing friend of mine, and I wanted to share with you ~
So, hangin' in ... lots' of stuff coming up for us, but all will be bathed in prayer.
Till Next Blog!
love, a.

If I ever wondered if HE loved me

So, I'm going to admit how pathetic and "of little faith" I can be with this post. Of course, there needs to be a bit of prelude-type explanation. On Nov. 20th my husband and I will celebrate a special anniversary -- 4 years since leaving our home -- the only one we've known in Sherwood Park, Canada -- and driving, with only our car, clothes and guitars across the border and down, down, down to San Diego, California. (that's 1751 miles south) Our reason for the move was to pursue our music, our mission and our dreams and just a new life, pioneers of sorts. It would take me many blogs to say how many times God has shown me his love through the whole process, from easy stops at border crossings, to precisely timed Visa interviews, to lenient border guards, to miracles in paperwork and finding jobs, it is astounding how He has continually provided for us, and continually strengthens my faith through circumstance. So, enter here and now, almost 4 years later after V...

There has been a lot of emotion for me the last couple days ~ it's hard to describe to someone who doesn't understand. After finding out that my dad that I've never known, is alive and has been looking for me, and after being found by a half sister -- worlds just are not the same.  The very person who's lack of presence has had a mighty hand in shaping the person that I am, is now is this strange half-shadow that is almost within reach, but still not accessible. My heart wants to scream sometimes (a messy mixture of fear, frustration and joy) but I know that I need to give him the space that he needs.  It's all so very messy this life, this love.  God has been the only father's love I have known -- but as I believe that God is creating great healing and restoration to my dad's soul and mine as well. I described this way to a good friend of mine: It's like your life is this little house, with all these windows letting in light, and you know these w...

Today I have a bad attitude. It's not even like I have a really good excuse, in fact they are pretty pitiful but I'll share. I have this pretty uncanny ability to wake up RIGHT at my alarm ... I'm not talking in the general vicinity of when it goes off, by 5 or 10 mins ... this morning, I literally woke up walked to my phone and my alarm went off, that's like 30 seconds early. So, you would think the morning is off to a good start. I worked out and thought about sitting on my couch with my warm and fuzzy latte in hand and got to the fridge, only to realize that my darling husband had used all the milk. This is not a big deal (or it shouldn't be) but we actually really had no real food anyways, no eggs, not even a bun or toast, so my breakfast hiatus from my day was thwarted. Never fear, I can get food at work - no biggie. So, work is work. I drive, I arrive. It's corporate, and now, thanks to our inter-office move, ridiculously quiet. And it's good, none ...
