Blogging eh?

So I've begun a blog. Obviously you've figured that out by now, as you've found it. I was really just sort of reminding myself. I had always thought I wouldn't start one because a) i thought that bloggers spent too much time updating and writing and b) the blogs of people I would possibly enjoy keeping up with are never updated. Perhaps that's because they are actually out living. I know it is an overly cynical opinion. But I see a blog now as a great way to keep family and friends even if only somewhat in the loop of what's going on in my life, particularly with this moving across the country thing. That, and I'm not really one for mass email updates.

Having let my past cynicism about blogs come out already, I now feel truly hypocritical saying that I am not sure I will be much more committed to blogging than those whose bi-annually updated blogs that caused my irritation. I guess life just happens, despite our best intentions.

Tomorrow is my LAST DAY in beautiful British Columbia. Early Thursday morning, I'll hop in the van with a good amount of my earthly belongings, and begin the nearly 2 week adventure across our fair country, starting off the trip hanging out with my bestie in Edmonton for a few days :) It's like heading off to university again...just more foreign. For the first time since I was 5, September does not mean the start of school. I can't even really imagine it...

Another chapter is about to begin. Corny line, I know. But I tend to write what comes to mind, and very rarely erase it. I figure, it'd come out if I were talking to you, I might as well just let the words out as they come.

I really am so excited to see what God's got up his sleeve for me this year. I have that familiar feeling in the pit of my stomach. The one that makes me feel nauseous at what's approaching, but which I have also traced back throughout my life and noticed a pattern. This feeling surfaces when I realize I'm in over my head. And it's been in those times that God's done truly amazing things when I quit trying to pretend I know everything. At this point, what's going through my head is 'yep I'm scared, sweet, that means it's gonna be awesome.'
