well, ok, we're home. an awesome trip, an awesome God.... but now i have to get used to a split [ergonomic] keyboard again, after all the internet cafes and snuck in puter-time at friend's and families homes.....
even tho we are home, i am not going to abandon this blog..... i will put my memories, reminicenses, realizations, and reflections here.... and it would be kewl if mishun and kevo did the same thing, eh guys? yeah!!!!!
for me this trip has been one miracle, sign and wonder, etc, after another after another after another!!!!!! it's been amazing. little ol' me, sitting in a massive, and i mean MASSIVE electrical storm with NO FEAR.... getting lost in edmonton, TWICE, and having NO FEAR. it was fun actually, especially the second time, where yours truly got to drive us out of edmonton late on a saturday night on a five lane freeway at 110 km/h..... i LOVED it! and again, i had NO FEAR. God is amazing.......
i was thinking earlier how a friend in pg, dorothea, prophesied over me (last year, on my way to LA) that one day terrace would be too small for me..... and in many ways, that has 'come true'..... no longer is my comfort-boundary in the near northwest..... i have been as far as quebec, now!!!!!! and i love it!!!! and i want to see the world!!!!!!! [well, ok, i don't really want to see places outside of canada - yet. but one day i'll have a passport and venture around the states, too!]. one day i want to see newfoundland, the atlantic provinces. one day i want to go to churchhill, manitoba, and freeze with the polar bears. one day i want to go to whitehorse and the atlin center and northern alaska. heck, dream big girl, go to antartica for the winter and get peeps saved!!!!! lol. ....
.... but seriously, things like that don't seem as far fetched as they used to. i can now, seriously, see me travelling across canada in a camper or motorhome, sharing God's songs and ministering to peoples hurting, fearful hearts.....
and i need to start focussing more on that vision.... i need to practice piano, guitar, singing, microphones, etc etc etc seriously.... becuase when i was invited to sing to that church congregation (mind you, it was a small church, only about 10 peeps, and half had left!!!!) i realized how NOT ready i am for an invite like that. and God showed me that it can come up out of the blue, unexpected, and that i need to prepare NOW, becuase it can be sooner than i think, and just plain unexpectedly.
i guess i need to un-bury my piano.... and seriously drag someone with me to the sheep shed who can help me learn playing and singing with amplification..... ouch.
i also discovered that my head is so literally SO BIG, plus having dreads, that a clip-on-yer-head microphone doesn't work for me. can anybody say SQUEEZE MY BRAINS OUT????? lol
