Oh Canada.

Today is the 3 week mark of my return to Canada.
One week in the lovely coast of rainy Vancouver with my beautiful niece and brother. Then 2 weeks here. Alberta. Farm country.
Oh how i love this country.
First of all Tim Hortons is amazing. Good good food-delicious and nutritious-for good good prices. Plus there is now one five minutes away. Thank you Jesus.
Also dill pickle chips. The first day i was back i downed a bag.
Snow....i was welcomed home with a snow storm putting 2 feet of snow on the ground, thankfully it is now almost all melted and is a blistering 13 degrees out.
New car....2004 Honda Civic.
Those are the latest updates.

Coming back i have been spending time with family and friends, registering for University classes, and driving my new car. It is safe to say that there is culture shock. First of all the weather...my feet never seem to be warm enough. Then there is always the fact that i spent lots of time by myself (which i don't mind in the least) and seem to do things in a much slower pace. It is funny because now i am home, even though it doesn't feel like home.
It won't be my home for long.
I know that eventually i will feel at home and i will have a stable place.

Unfortunately i have not been able to make it to my most missed mountains. Luckily i will get to spend the next 2 days there breathing the mountain air and hanging out with wildlife.

One thing i have been hit with lately is the worry of money. Every where you go in the world you find it. There are few places that are "free" of it, or should i say where money is not the focus. Since coming home i am face with this worry, with this realization that the majority of my last 3 years i have made no income and i plan on being a student for the next 4 years.
wow.
crazy how it can be something you don't worry about one minute and then all the sudden it is hitting you in the face.
Well i mean i got this new car, then there is insurance, then the gas nonsense now, then phone bill, credit card bill, the list goes on.
you'd think after what i have seen, the poverty, the injustice, those who TRULLY lack, that i wouldn't worry. You'd think after what i have seen, the supernatural provision, $20,000 being raised in 20 minutes by sixty people 18-25 years old, the rent money always being there, that i wouldn't worry. You'd think after what i have learnt about Jesus, about Jehovah Jirah, about his BIGNESS and His GOODNESS, His strong strong love, that i wouldn't worry.
I guess there is still more for me to learn. More revelation for me to have about my Jesus. The more i know Him, the more i trust Him, and the more worry falls away.
Like my earthly father wants to take care of me my heavenly father wants to also take care of me.
and He will.

On another note since returning from this last trip there has been some health issues on my end. There is always the normal things, and the tests just to make sure of parasites and such (especially since being in the amazon). So the routine tests have been taken, and more in depth tests are being taken this week. Gotta love foreign coutnries eh?
Well i have a parking ticket to pay and a stomach to fill.
Sunday is the beginning of camp.
The beginning of the next 4 months.
I can't wait.
