It's been an interesting experience this week with uncertainty of not being able to leave looming over our trip as the result of the volcanic eruption in Iceland. There was an ash cloud that could have prevented us from even leaving Calgary. At times like these its definitely trying as something you can't control can prevent you from leaving on a trip you've looked forward to going on for a couple of months! The only thing I can do is to rely on God's sovereignty and pray that air travel resumes and our flight not canceled!
This also marks the day before my graduation celebrations take place. I am definitely still feeling nostalgic about it all. One things for sure though, these past 7 years in post-secondary were definitely the best years of my life and I won't trade this experience for anything! I guess it is time to close this chapter of my life and move on knowing that God has everything in control!
I do want to leave this for you readers.. if you are thinking of going into post-secondary: get involved, and don't miss out on the opportunity to try new things or build solid friendships. This is YOUR time to enjoy life before it is full of responsibilities (not saying you don't have any now!). If you are already in school, enjoy it to the fullest! Get involved! See you all around!

Birthday Blog!
Hmmm.. I decided to take a break from writing my ethics paper and write a blog on my birthday. Oh yes, I do live an exciting life. Homework on my birthday! woot! Anyways, it has been a good week! We had one extra day of holidays and it's definitely needed to catch up on sleep and get a head-start on writing my final term paper. In the midst of all this business, I also official received my first land title and also got a new knee-brace after I lost my old one (yes stupid me).
Yet, that is probably not the best thing that has happened. My hockey team, the Calgary Flames, have clawed their way back into playoff contention! It has been a gut wrenching couple of weeks as I followed them as they fought through a post Olympic haze and went on a roller coaster ride though wins and losses. Sometimes I want to kick those multimillionaires in the tail end myself to get em going (mostly cuz im just jealous).
Reflecting on this weekend, I should mention that it is honour to share this 25th birthday with Easter falling on the same weekend. There is no other way to make it more memorable than to celebrate this milestone remembering the sacrifice that Jesus made to allow us, as humanity, the chance to embrace the grace and forgiveness of Jesus and be accepted as God's children with the promise of eternal life in heaven! At lasts week's church service at Centre Street Church, we watched a dramatic presentation of God's "Love Story" for us. It served as a very vivid reminder that while we often don't deserve it, God's love for us is unparalleled and we just have to choose to surrender to Him. During this service, a quartet also covered Point of Grace's - "The Great Divide". It's an awesome oldie from the 90s (yes, as I get older I can use the term 'oldie' haha). You should youtube it.
Back to my paper now.. but I have a sudden craving for a birthday Peter's Drive-In Milkshake. It's unfortunate they are closed now >.<
