Assisi


Well its been a while since i posted anything and that would be because my life has taken a dramatic twist. Okay so its not so dramatic and anyone that knows me will tell you that its was about damn time.

A wonderful, God filled man walked in to my life months ago and took me by surprise. Not exactly who I pictured myself with but it God knows what is best for me-always has, always will

So before Romi went home last night we prayed the rosary and as we were praying I saw the box that has my rosary for Italy in it and I really wanted to show it to him.

This is a rosary that Ash brought me in grade 12 when she went to Italy though school. She is not religious at all but she knew that I was so she found a really pretty blue one in Assisi for me. Its one of my favourite things! Anyways when she gave it to me, I had this idea that since it was blue that at my wedding it would be wrapped in/around my bouquet and would be my something blue at the wedding. (I know I am very funny).

Anyways so I showed him this and told him that this what my plan-the first guy I have ever told this to- and he was like, “that really cool did you know that St. Francis of Assisi is my patron saint?”

The medallion in the rosary is St. Francis of Assisi?!?!?!?! What a God moment!

I think this is adorable and is strangely comforting... God is really
working in/confirming/affirming this relationship and it is a wonderful gift.

Fear

Fear freezes us and makes us realize things that we cannot realize when we are rushing around and trying to take control.

One of my very intelligent friends told me that today. Its sometimes the the hardest thing to do is give up control but eventually have to let go and let God.

Jesus I trust in you!

YAY!

I am just finishing school for graphic arts and it is always exciting to finish a project that was challenging and rewarding all at the same time.

I have recently been working on a project for a non profit organization and had the opportunity to create their logo. It was really cool since my ideas really gelled with what they were looking for.

Anyways... I just looked on their website for some information that i needed for the paper i am writing on the project itself. To my great and joyous surprise, the logo is already up!

Its a great feeling seeing your work out there for everyone to see!

Oh Joseph

Joseph was a man for few words.

In the bible, Joseph is never quoted for having said anything. But he was the man of action. The Angels brought him many of the messages. The Angel told Joseph to take Mary and Jesus and flee to Egypt. Joseph needed to take them to protect them from the impending dangers.

Joseph is the protector of Jesus. He watched over him, cared for him and kept him from harm.

Joseph died before Jesus started his ministry, which ended with his crucifixtion, death and ressurection. Do you really think that Joseph - the man that spent his life protecting Jesus - would have ever watch him die in such a harsh way?

Over Joseph's dead body would Jesus have been on that cross. Maybe that was the whole point?

I and Love and You




"There is no surprise more magical than the surprise of being loved. It is God's finger on man's shoulder." ~ Charles Morgan

This is a brilliant entry. It really breaks down the truth about love... something we rarely hear today.

It says so much more than words


I am smiling right now, sitting in my jammies and just smiling.

The sound of guitar fills my little room and but it fills my heart too. I love the sound, the energy and joy that is coming from the guitarist. Its a beautiful thing to receive a private acoustic show.

Music can say so much more that you can say in words.

Music belongs to my soul. It nourishes it and is a true gift from God. Look at all the Psalms and the Song of Songs. Look at King David who danced and rejoices in song.

God shows us in a way we can always recognize the amount of love He has for us.
