late night/early morning ramblings..

It's been a while since a late night blog post has been written. I've been trying to be a good student and sleeping at humane times. (haha yeah right, who am I kidding!) So here are some thoughts from this last week. I think I'll start from the most recent events.


1) The Calgary Flames --- what a week for my favourite hockey team! Breaking the 9 game losing streak by beating on a hapless Oiler team! NBD! I love sending our northern neighbours to a losing streak of a Rider's dozen! (w00t I was able to make fun of two teams I hate in one sentence!) Also we made some blockbuster trades that shook up the team. I still don't know what to think about the Dion Phaneuf trade, it seems like an awful waste of potential on a guy that is improving lots. Even so, I thought we should have gotten WAY more then what we got for Phaneuf. A Schenn as well maybe? Jokinen is also rumored to be gone. What a relief! I wonder what Darryl Sutter has in store for us fans! Anywho.. in Sutter we trust! haha

2) Shinny on the ODR is alot of fun! Especially, when you are playing with some of your best friends! I am definitely grateful for Canadian weather and an natural love for the game of hockey. Nothing is better then a mild evening and playing a pick up game of hockey on the local outdoor rink! The company of good friends, and awesome sports is something that is unbeatable!

3) You know, as I am nearing the end of my university career, I often think of what God has in mind for me. My future:whether its my job, relationships or what I am going to be are often things that cross my mind. Tonight, well I guess its 0230 and its technically last night, I was reminded about what God's plan for me is. Matthew 28, in the Great Commission, God calls us to make disciples of all nations. I think I get caught up in looking for what I want in my life and often forget that God dictates and holds the future in my life. I am not saying that working hard at school is unimportant, but I believe that, as a Christian, I should never lose sight of the ultimate goal. I was also reminded of God's promise to not worry about what will happen if I trust and obey. Matthew 28:20 reads: "And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Isn't it comforting to know that even though you might feel small and insignificant, He is there for you until the end of time!
 
ok.. sleep beckons :) have a good night!
