Artichoke Pizza

My head is more than full of to-do's, what if's, make sure you remember's, for the next month, as we gear up to move, and head to Australia.

I feel so unprepared
I feel like I am digging my heals into the unfrozen BC ground and screaming Noooooooo! (Silently of course)

It's Sunday morning.  I'm up early with the thoughts already spinning.
Three realities right now.... 
BC life - Church, hanging out for the last time with friends, visiting Mercy once more, packing, cleaning, changing addresses, cancelling bills...... ahhhhhh!!!
 Calgary Life - Which starts with a trip to Phoenix next week with Trev's family, going back to my old house (which holds some not so great memories), starting a new life again.. real life.... more change!
 Australian adventure - Which begins in a month which is demanding my attention and thought..... but it seems so huge that I don't know where to begin.

Overwhelmed... to say the least.


When my heart is overwhelmed and I cannot hear your voice
I'll hold on to what is true 
Though I cannot see


This Song is stuck in my head today

Love Came down and rescued me
Love came down and set me free
I am Yours
I am forever Yours
Mountain High 
or 
Valley Low
I sing out and remind my soul
I am Yours
I am forever Yours




Ah listen to me, I have the best life in the world.. ( I really mean that.. I think I do) and I'm complaining.  I'm stressing and squeezing every single ounce of joy out of all these good things.  I got to spend the past year in BC with my amazing husband, growing, going on adventures, being taught by God, laughing, living and thriving in the question marks.

I have a home in Calgary to go home to.  Family, friends, a job for Trevor, a beautiful house, waiting for us.  Plus blessings and surprises waiting that will knock our socks off... cuz God Loves us so much!
And I'm embarrassed that I just complained about a trip to Australia/NZ!  This is a once in a life time Gift!  An amazing opportunity!


God, give me Your perspective on all these things.  Give me eyes to see You.  Help me to let go of Stress and Worry




Trev and I in the first hours of 2013


See, most blessed people ever!!!


So God, I need a heart change, right now.
I have way to much to be greatful for!


Pizza in Vancouver..... Good day with Chris and Erin


You Love Trevor and I.
You have taken care of us thus far!  You have always come through for us!
We have each other!


Meat and Bread restaurant with some awesome friends!

We have our health!
We have this amazing opportunity and adventure ahead of us!


Lookin at Comics in the city


You promise to never leave us or forsake us.
You go before us and prepare the way.
You lead us on straight paths.
You never let us fall.


Excitement in front of the Purdy's Chocolate Factory


Psalm 30:11&12
You have turned my mourning into Joyful Dancing.
You have taken away my clothes of mourning, and clothed me with Joy
that I might sing praises to You and not be silent
O my God, I will give thanks to You forever.


Trev and Chris on the Purdy's Chocolate Fountain


Father, thank you for the strength and the Wisdom that we need in this next season.  When we ask You for anything, You always answer.
Father, help us to see You in everything. (good, hard, sad, amazing... everything!)
Help us find Joy in Your presence.

Found out that Artichoke Pizza is not Trevor's favorite!







XOXOXO
