A Wrinkle In Time

“I think I like today. I think it’s good. It’s something I can’t get my head around.” - Angels & Airwaves

Last week I took a train to Seattle and then I got on a bus that took me to Vancouver, British Columbia and I got the privilege of exploring the West Coast through Canada’s eyes. It was pretty awesome. I got to see a lot of beautiful scenery, mountains, the Pacific Ocean, a waterfall, a pigeon, Cherry Blossom trees, Tim Hortons, a tug boat, some friends from Prov, water fountains, escalators, a glimpse of Glacier National Park from the train, etc.
On the train ride down there I had to sit by this little old lady who I found out knows a lot of my relatives and she was neighbors with a good friend of mine, and I went to school with her granddaughter. We live in a very small world I tell ya. I enjoyed listening to other people’s conversations on the train it relieved me from my boredom. It was very interesting.
On my way back KT had put a couple apples in my bag for the train ride home and when I got to the border my bags had to go through an x-ray machine which was weird cause they didn’t on the way there, but anyways they saw something suspicious so they stopped the belt and dug through my bags until they found the apples. For a minute there I thought they were going to find my stash of pot. What can I say? Apples are evil. Ask Adam and Eve. I really don’t comprehend some of those odd border rules. Are you going to a farm? Are you coming from a farm? Did you touch livestock on your trip? Haha. Overall, it was a good trip! I really like Canada. I seriously think I was born in the wrong country. Someday I’m going to apply for a work visa or take the test and get dual citizenship so I can live and work up there.

God keep our land glorious and free!

“God likes to spoil the understanding of mere mortals.”
That’s so true. We can’t know too much than our roles compared to God’s would change and the mystery and curiosity of it all would be gone forever.

My life is but a wrinkle in time.
So I’m nearing the end of my third year of college and I’ve finally made up my mind. Now I know what I’m doing, where I’m going, and what I’m going to attempt to accomplish. I’ve got a plan. I’m going to get a bachelors degree in social work. In some odd way I think it fits me. I guess if you wait long enough the answers will come until they do just sit back enjoy the place where your at in life.

Lately I’ve been struggling to do that. I keep wishing my life away. I keep thinking that I can’t wait for this semester to be over. I can’t wait for the summer to be over with (just so I can move onto bigger and better things). I can’t wait till three years down the road from now when I’ll be completely finished with school and have a reliable job with benefits and every weekend off. I can’t wait to have a financially stable job that will allow me to have my own house that I can create and transform to my liking. I can’t wait for forty years down the road when hopefully I’ll have all my loans paid off and I’ll be debt free. I can’t wait to have my own family to take care of someday and I even can’t wait until the time when my parents will need me to take care of them. I can’t wait till I’m sixty five and old enough to retire and sit around the house making ducttape stuff kinda like my Grandma quilts. I definately can’t wait to get old, but I guess in the mean time I should just enjoy the moment and be content with where I’m at because life happens way too fast. I gotta take it one step at a time because you can’t skip steps on the stair way to heaven. It’s just impossible. Every step has a purpose and these steps are in a specific order for a reason. Some people have steeper steps than others and sometimes there’s railings to grab onto, but when the railings aren’t there that’s when I gotta put my trust in God and focus on him and not look down.

Lord, I don’t know where all this is going
Or how it all works out
Lead me to peace that is past understanding
A peace beyond all doubt.
