Finally, Friday...

Today is a bit overcast, but I love this weather, other than the melancholy feelings I get from it. Already this morning, I am faced with people's pain, in my job, in my friends. Why are we bent on hurting each other? Or why does the course of someone's life take a turn for the worse in a matter of seconds? I just want to wrap my arms around the world and hold everyone tight, I guess because I'm a huggy kind of person. I wish that could make everything better.


With some coworkers, I've signed up for the team CN Tower Climb, to raise money for WWF Canada. I'm pretty excited but have already managed to injure myself, the same injury I got last year from running 25+ kilometres, I've now gotten from running only two or three times, short runs too. In light of people's actual problems they're dealing with, mine look pretty minor...yesterday, in a Bible study I'm doing with a few other women, we talked about dying to self, and this is something I haven't assessed in my life in a while, and it makes me pretty uncomfortable to see all the ways I do everything but die to self. It's not a popular concept and I don't enjoy the process but I know it is necessary for me to grow closer to God.

I just found out that Urbana is on again this year, a huge missions conference in the States that I've been wanting to go since the last time when I wasn't able to, I think it was 2006. I am not approved to get the time off work but I'm on the waiting list- if God wants me to go, I think He will work this out!

Hey, do any of you know Ricardo? Well, not actually the guy, but his cooking show? :) I guess this is more for the francophones out there (Jared, you should check it out)- my friend at work subscribes to his magazines and they're fantastic, best recipes ever. Well, I haven't actually made any of them yet, but they look delicious:)

Well, I don't have much else to say at this time, so have a great weekend!
