doesn't time just fly....

ooooooo like a pigeon
brown and confused like meeeeee

OOOOOOOO, time just gooooooes
like I never wanted it to

And it stops where it will
When I'm most uncomfortable?
And it pecks me in the face

If you just stare up at time
It will poo in your eye



like my song???? made it up jesthen. Anyone else hearing the faint whisper of 'Grammy... Grammy'?
BA HA HA HA HA
So this year has rushed past like the Glory of the LORD when Moses was hidden
Actually, yeah, that's the best similie I can think of.
What happened?
1) God changed me
2) God gave me a bunch of new families
3) God changed them too
4) God continued the restoration of His people in the downtown eastside of Vancouver
5) I put on about 20 pounds

... the last one was irrelevant

Actually, maybe not as irrelevant as one may first assume. I think I physically look quite different than I did in October last year. And I'm becoming quite comfortable in this skin. That doesn't mean fat and lazy... well, I am fat... JUSTICE! yeah!
But dyoo know what I mean? God's shifted my focus so much from surface crap to His Great Commission. Sure, I don't want to be physically repulsive and say that God wants me that way. But I think when we start peeling off the make-up, swapping our 'fine linens' for simple garments, and (ladies!) thinking of respecting our brothers in Christ when we choose the way we outfit ourselves each morning... well, when we do all this, the veil of superficiality is lifted - a hinderance in the revelation of Christ's love in our lives is removed, and we clothed instead with Godly splendor, and the protection of a covering of Holiness can rest upon us....

okay, maybe that's reading a little too much into my new wardrobe... and yeah, perhaps a few of the changes in my dress are due in fact to lack of funding, rather than Biblical principles... but maybe, just maybe... I'm onto something


God bless and bliss you all excessively!
