I Love Autumn

This season comes with so many feelings. It is both warm and cold. The leaves are bright and happy... though the sky is grey.

The other night a good friend invited me out to a worship night at a nearby college. It was wonderful. I looked out the window at one point and realized that though it was cold out at the time, just a few hours ago it had been a warm afternoon. Things are changing drastically. We haven't had weather this bizarre since 1945, says the local newspaper.

But as I looked into the night sky brazed by the fog... I thought about God.
God's picture must be like the sky. Sometimes I like to think of his eyes being the universe in it's entity.
The sky is always changing, and in yet some sense it is consistent. It is always there. It isn't always what we want it to be, but it's what we need it to be.

We haven't had rain in weeks.

We don't necessarily like the rain.

Nonetheless we need it immensely. The grass is brittle and the air is quite dry.

I was figuring during worship that God is quite a mystery in a sense, because we have not physically seen Him. I trust He is there. That is what faith is for. I know He is because of the feelings and happenings that have occurred over the past few months especially where I have felt His presence.

Faith is difficult to explain unless you have experienced it...so I shall not ramble too much on that note. Just this: the other day I was talking about someone dear to my heart... and I said something that my heart must have known for the past two years for sure, but has just now put words to. "Faith is an experience of enlightenment that no human can touch. It is in a place so deep within our souls that only the Enlightener can handle."

Back to what I was saying.

I love autumn. Specifically Autumn 2012. I have seen sunshine and felt cold and witnessed the changing of colours upon the beautiful trees. I do not despise the falling of leaves. It kind of reminds me of the natural state of things. Trees without leaves. Nothing to disguise their backbone or structure.

I love autumn because it's all the best wrapped into one phase. God's beauty is everywhere. Is unique persona. His mystery. It's in the clouded skies and the blank blue paint of a brisk morning.

It is an experience I wish to savour.

It is just beauty.

I Think It's Weird

that there are more people in Denmark looking at my blog, then in Canada itself. -.-
Just a little strange.

Today looks like a visit to the pumpkin patch, and off to see a friend of the family's hobby involving birds. :) Absolutely amazing! I never knew there were so many different kinds of chickens and ducks--really beautiful actually! :) In the mean time I've got to write two letters: one to a bestie who lives halfway across the world :P {[Bananerzzzz]} and another to some French person for my French project. :) I's be stoked. :)

I'm a little bummed out that I won't be making it out to a concert with a couple of my favourite bands. For privacy's sake I won't say who they are :) :D But, it is next week. :( siiiiigh. Oh well. Next time. :p

Oh! I made triangle pancakes for breakfast this morning :D They were quite successful! :D
My cousin C.P. sent me this amazing link; check it OUT.

This has actually been my life the past week. I'm changing my thought pattern...how I see things (((IB!!!!))) to be a more positive outlook. Hey, it's hard...but I've gotta try and put my best foot forward in whatever I do, so I figured if I've decided to take on the full workload of homework, I shouldn't be so harsh about it....as in....I don't need to ridicule everything. Probably sounds dumb to some of you, but it's just something I need to do. Eventually if I think positive all the time ((errr....most of the time)) it'll feel a little easier. It was my choice to take IB...now I've just gotta get through it....at least 86% happily. 
Think I'm wrong?
Hear me out: At the beginning of the week, I absolutely hated with a very very strong passion: LOTF. 
Today, I can say that by reading it in a slightly different perspective, I've been seeing it as a giant metaphor. I won't say it now cause I'm planning on using it for my oral presentation, but...that is that. I'm still a little disgusted with it because it's so dark....but....I have one more chapter to go and I'm not dreading it as much as I was last Monday. 
Second verse of encouragement:


Proverbs 15:13 (New International Version)

 ¹³ A happy heart makes the face cheerful,
       but heartache crushes the spirit.

It's cool...because I've been feeling a lot lighter in spirit now that I've started changing my perspective. 


God is good.
