Why should I feel mad,
When You made the heavens?
Why should I be afraid,
When You put the stars in place?
Why should I lose heart,
When I know how great you are?
Why should I give up,
When Your plans are full of love?

In this world we will have trouble,
But You have overcome the world!
You Shine,
Brighter than the brightest star!
Your Love,
Purer than the purest heart!
You Shine,
Filling us with courage and strength
To follow You!

As I stood to sing this song on Saturday night, at Brian Doerksen's Concert in Ottawa, I felt like there is nothing in this world that can separate me from the love God has for me! No matter what trial I face, no matter how crappy things seem, He Shines brighter than all those things! I felt so open, so at peace, and so great.

I just got home from Canada this morning, and goodbyes are never easy, but when the chances of you ever seeing someone you love again, are very small, it takes a lot out of you! God really cuddled me this week, I had an amazing week, it was difficult but very enjoyable and worthwhile! God is so much more real than we can imagine, no matter what we are going through, Hes been there! When we hurt, He hurts more!

I have so much growing to do but I feel like Im heading in the right direction,there is nothing I want more than to follow Gods calling for my life,  I cant do this on my own, God has the lead! I pray that my conversations are blessed, and as I start my new job tomorrow that the students and other teachers, see Christ shine through me! I want my heart to be visible! Remember that God doesnt just love you, He likes you too!
