Thy Wiser Determinations.

So as I hope your aware I'm going back treeplanting for a third year. Yup just can't help it. A lot has happened in my life this last year. I'll try to catch you up.

  • I switched to correspondence for the rest of my degree.
  • I got laser eye surgery, and no one told me it was going to be that painful.
  • I moved to Edmonton, Alberta to live closer to Heather.
  • I got a job as a finisher in a cabinet shop.
  • I started attending Central Baptist Church, and a pastor agreed to mentor me.
  • I got engaged.
  • I switched schools. (I am now at Briercrest, again through correspondence.)
  • I got stitches for the first time.
  • I managed to be in downtown Vancouver to watch the Gold Metal Game with a mob.
  • I quit my job at the cabinet shop, hopefully I'm done working with kitchen's for a while...
So life is not boring and I seem to naturally rebel against stagnation and idleness.

A prayer that I recently read very much sums up my thoughts on my current life situation of leaving to treeplant right before my wedding in August

If it be consistent with thy eternal counsels,
the purpose of thy grace,
and the great ends of thy glory,
then bestow upon me the blessings of
thy comforts;

If not, let my resign myself to
thy wiser determinations.
