you don't have to wait for the sound

You can take small beautiful things away from even the worst of experiences...I am referring to when I worked at day care. You see, above the door in the basement it said "through these doors walk the best kids in Calgary" I thought that was cute, commented on the cuteness to one of the girls who worked there longer then myself and she mentioned she had been inspired because apparently at some bar here in Calgary there is a similar sign but it says something about beautiful women...go figure...

Anyway when I volunteered at the after school program in south Africa, I remembered that sign...and those kids are,were and forever will be inspiring and a large part of my heart, they are also South Africa's hope...hence the sign...



Recently there was a all staff meeting at the seed, and I left feeling very inspired, which apparently means I need to make a sign that has something to do with a door. The Director of Rehousing, showed us two time lines of guests who have been rehoused by the seed, I'm not even going to try and lie about the fact that I cried when it was explained that one of them was able to go to his daughters wedding...beautiful, anyway, this presentation was ended with the words "the people we work with are brave..."







its so true....

The morning we put this up one of the ladies walked by me and was like "oh i need to walk through the door!" she walked through about two steps then she walked back out proclaiming "now its official"

I should have added that the people who walk through that door are precious...

cupcakes for breakfast toothpaste for dinner

but yeah like I said I'm interested in how this whole thing will turn out and tie together, I get this strange feeling when I'm downtown, when I see pavement covered in chewed gum, grocery carts overflowing with "finds", when i see policemen or people sitting down on the concrete.

This speaks to my heart, this makes me cry and makes me hope but...so did big eyes, heat, mud huts, and language barriers of Africa
Jesus where are you taking me?
I'm very intrigued

the question....

In the Begining there was a Question....

"if you had unlimited resources what would you do with your life?"

but before the answer to that question I should explain the reason for why that question needed to be ask.

I have recently come home from 13 months spent in africa, one night when i was siting around a circle table with the other volunteers/ my friends, Beth asks "if you had unlimited resources what would you do with your life?"

the answers where varied, but mine was "i would travel around all over the place and love people...kind of like a love tour..." and after thinking about this for a few more minutes/hours i realized...i can do a love tour anyway...so i am...like my life before was about loving people, this is just about giving it a title...(so this blog will be more about my life in general then my last blog was)so with this blog i will keep you updated with where i go on my love tour, who i love and where i want to go.(once i actually figure this out maybe i can have a little thinger on the side)

I encourage you to ask yourself this question and to ask others this and to be encouraged to make whatever you answer is what you actually do with your life.
