ok so here is the deal...umm...alright so i dont have any excuse for not writing this long but whatever. i guess a lot has happened since i last wrote. oh and if you read my last entry, my plans changed about three more time before any of that actually took place. but anyway, here is the story, after valintines day i made the long grueling hitch hike to sherbrooke Quebec and spent the night there with a old friend. it was an experience that i wasnt really expecting. i was only there a short time but i spent the next few day after reflecting on what i had seen. i guess it was just a front row ticket of sort to all the hopelessness that life has to offer us. broken people and broken lives were what i saw i guess. there has been this song that has been playing through my head lately when ever i think about this. It a caedmons call song and the line goes like this,"This world has nothing for me and this world has everthing, all that i could want and nothing that i need." i guess i have just found this to be so true in my life lately. ecclesiasties always come to mind to where solomon just proceeds to bash everthing that he possible could except God. everything that this place has to offer is meaningless. and when i think about all of this in light of those empty people, i am so broken for them. they are walking dead people. there is more to life then living and dieing. so much more. so yah, a bit of a bunny trail but back to my story. i left quebec and headed south with ashley and her friends. we stoped in NY city on the way down and also washington DC. so that was kinda interesting. they were both first timers for me. then on to south carolina. we had a real nice condo not far from the beach. it wasnt really beach weather but we did get some sweet frisbee time in on the beach. also we saw these 2 dolphins! it was so cool. i was running around like a little kid watching them. so yah SC was a fun time and then it was off to ontario. the first day that i was there i drove down to hang out with jeff and amanda. it was awesome to see them again. we hung out and went for i hike and went bowling (i bet jeff twice). it was a good time. then i went up to visit my friend mark for a night just outside of TO. it was good to see him. it was a short visit but i was really good to catch up a bit. then i was off to huntsville to see wilson and renee. who by the way just got engaged...just in case you care. congrats yo's! but yah it was awesome to hang out with wilson again. it had been almost a year since i had seen him. him and renee say that they are going to come out to CB this summer for a visit. they said that last year and it never happened but i am going to hold them to it this year. besides...who would want to come to the greatest place on earth. ok maybe that is a little much, but its pretty awesome here! so then i went back to my parent place in london and stay there an extra 4 day. dad convinced me to stay and help with some renovations for a bit. it was nice to hang out with dad some too. not to often that we get to hang out these days. so all in all my trip was good. i got to see lots of places and lots of faces. it was so good to get so see all of those people. but by the end i was so excited to get home. so i flew in on a monday and got pick up by Leigh-Anne when i got to sydney. it was so awesome to see her again. she was home for the next two week after that. so i got to spend alot of time with her. that doesnt really happen very often so it was a nice change. her and some friends from school were down for the whole time working with some of the youth and a few churches in the area. so i kinda tagged along with them mostly. then just the other day we were all down north for a bit and ended up doing the cabot trail on the way home. i always forget how beautiful it is down there. the snow covered mountains droping straight into the ocean. the frozen waterfall all along the road side. and there is this one spot on cape smokey where i always stop(if you are from CB you know which one i mean because you probably stop there too). you are on top of the mountain and standing out on the edge looking out across this huge ocean with nothing but water and sky in sight. i always cant help but feel like i am so small. it makes me think about Gods love for me and just how huge it is. so so much bigger then that ocean which seems already, completely unmeasurable. it is comforting but still almost intimidating in a sense because He is so big. so that is it for now i guess. i am in CB for a few more week then off again to ON for josh's wedding. Leigh-Anne went back to school yesterday and i wont see her til the wedding (josh's...not mine!) oh by the way, if you know anyone who is going to ON from the east coast in early april, let me know. peace and love-
