i've been really thankful this week so far living with the guys in Hamilton for a week. Here's some goodness:
- it has been refreshing that i have not felt like a tourist or a traveller while visiting, but rather a welcomed guest. it always feels super comfortable starting up life again with my friends after i have not seen them all for a while.
-seeing the ways that the ben, ben, mark and quin seem to have grown together as house mates...their house feels more like a home
- noticing how guys have grown within themselves even throughout the last semester
- i've been super blessed by mark's story: i am in awe of what God is currently at work within mark, how he has given him some sweet desires to follow Him as well as a community/group of friends to go forward in power and faith. my friend continues to be so honest and open with the Spirit.
- my sister steph g. she recently got back from South Africa, where she was a part of a community and Hillsong churches for the past three months. it's been so delightful listening to her stories of her love of flowers, food and people in south africa, and the bountiful ways that the Lord has been blessing her with rest and His presence
- the other night ben, ben, miranda and brando were practicing their music for their show the next night in their living room. what a treat it was to see these folks perform, but also just to sit in their house and absorb their harmonies while their practiced. my favorites.
-i had the awesome pleasure of finally visiting the 541 Eatery & Exchange this week (http://fivefortyone.ca/). a project that my friends started is starting to become an anchor in the community for fellowship and food. as i was there i was just so thankful for the convergence of peoples as well as the opportunity for inexpensive really good food for anyone! so sweet. check out the link for more info.
- everything that comes out of quin's mouth will probably be hilarious...eithernow or in a few minutes.
- today i had the chance to meet over lunch with my camp director mark. it was a good time of picking his brain about camp this upcoming summer, as well as hearing stories from the past. i think i'll be back this summer.
- its good to be here.
