Getting There

I've now come home two weeks straight - pretty awesome, if you ask me. I didn't tell anyone that I was coming home last week; so of course, I caught several people by surprise. It's always neat to know that people at least somewhat care about you by knowing when you're supposed to be back and when you're not. Nevertheless, I enjoyed my weekend home last week; and now, I get to do it all over again!

I was quite looking forward to coming home this weekend. I'm looking forward to the turkey tomorrow! Also, even though I dread driving by myself for long distances, the drives definitely do seem a lot shorter now that I've probably driven back and forth from Edmonton to Calgary upwards of 20 or 30 times in the last three years. This weekend, I had a couple friends accompany me on the way up too, so that helped even more with killing time. Lastly, I have to thank my car for holding up. I push the little guy so hard, I always get scared that it's going to die again. Don't get me wrong, the life isn't going to last me a whole lot longer; but it's definitely got enough to get me past this year, I think.

Onto the obligatory school news, assignment deadlines are definitely starting to surface. I handed in a review on an article about liberation theology this past week and got an A, so I'm quite glad about it, given the fact that I waited until the night before to do it. Oops. I'm a notorious slow starter with school work and such, as you already know, so I'm really glad that my first couple assignments have come and gone, and now I can really get into the groove of nailing down papers and other things that I need to do.

Also, I was apparently to lead worship this weekend at South Gate Alliance. But because I'm back home, I needed someone to cover for me; so unfortunately, I will have to wait a bit more until I get my first crack at leading worship at SGAC. Honestly, I'm quite nervous about it. I've never lead worship at this church, and since people don't really know me very much, I'm not sure how they will respond to my leading style. I just hope that it isn't so much about me on the stage, but focusing on what is the real matter at hand. So, I'm nervous, but I'm excited!

Finally, if I don't write again in the next couple days, happy Thanksgiving to everyone! This isn't one of the two things I said I wanted to write about, but I'm going to get to them soon! I just have to find a time and place where I can sit down for an hour or so, and just spill it all out.

This song has been on repeat over the last month or so. Even if you don't like this type of music, I think it's worth a listen!
