Home Visit.

I got back into Peterborough this morning at 8:23am. I have gotten in the habit of taking the morning bus back from my visits home. I make sure to get a double seat, and am passing out as we pull out of the Toronto station, and wake up again when we are pulling into the Peterborough station. It's glorious. :)

When I pulled into the bus station at Toronto, I was chatting with this security gaurd and his heavily tatoo'd friend for a while waiting for my mum to pick me up. I always try to just pray while I'm talking to people, because you never know what the Lord is going to bring your way.

"Tell me about your tatoos" I said to security-gaurds-friend. "you don't have to tell me about all of them actually, just tell me about the first one you ever got"

"Its a giant picture of Jesus on my back"

"Oh. Why do you have a picture of Jesus on your back?"

"I dunno. Cuz He's the man."

I went to the World Vision headquarters the next day. I always try to visit those guys when I get a chance to go home. You get a name tag when you go in. My friend picked me up we greeted the front desk lady. "How are you?" we said.

"Oh I am just rejoicing! Jesus found my glasses for me today!" She talked our ears off about it for 15 minutes. We were late for chapel.

People just make me smile a lot sometimes.

.Thunder and Lightning. .[Testimony].

I am sitting on the fourth floor of the library at Trent. I've been back in Canada for about 2 and a half months. Its sweet.

The thunder and lightening are striking. I am sitting in a glass panneled room overlooking the river. The rain is flooding my view to grey, and the sound of the storm shakes the sky.

I am taken back to the late November skys in Ghana last year, when God lit up the clouds with lightning for us every night. There was no rain, no sound, just a beautiful display of fire-work-lightning in the clouds. Every day. It was beautiful.

I have no idea what causes that kind if phenomenon, apparently its common to the season, but what I do know is that it was beautiful, and showed me just a little more another little piece of how freeking beautiful our Lord is, and how He truely makes all things beautiful in His time, in His world. Seasons come and seasons go, but the Word of the Lord remains forever.

I was thinking today as I rode my bike into campus how truely blessed I am, and how I am greatful for this day, every moment, every day.
