Vancity

I’m behind again, but with great reasons of course. Vancouver, the city where I’ve lived for so many years. Where I would call home on many occasions. I think this time around, although I was only there for six days. Being there by myself allowed me to really connect with those that I love and admire dearly. As much as I did spend a lot of time with an unexpected person, we shared what we had most in common; God & moving elsewhere for university.

I guess there’s some innate connection that is forged when you move away to another city for tertiary education. The friends you make, the choices that you take, the wealth experiences & opportunities you are exposed to are all similar but different at each university. More so we’ve all grown so much connecting with others and building up our spiritual growth throughout the year, well in his case years.

There’s always a purpose. It’s been really showing through the past few years. Leaving turned from a horrid thing that I could not even face at the age of 15. After the realization that the experiences I’ve had the opportunity to partake in and not has allotted to grow as an individual and closer to Christ.

As much as there was that shadow of a time where I was literally a lost sheep, wandering aimlessly spiritually. I’m glad to say I have found my way through my peers and friends, I’ve made as a child and new ones as well.

Coming back from a year of crazy and everything new to me. Sitting in that kitchen with my childhood friend felt like it was not too long ago that we were sitting in that exact same position 11 months back. Predicting what would happen over a year. Things that may change us, things we aspire to do. We both came to the simple realization that we cannot control everything and essentially we let God humour us and make sure our way is what He so desires.

There's too much to share as usual. But those are the striking thoughts I had throughout last week. I also have to catch up in a post about things that have already taken place in Toronto. But that’s for another day.
