What day is it today?

So today is my birthday (jay). Birthdays are always so overrated and anti-climactic. This year is no different of course. Why do we make such a big deal about birthdays? Why do we blow out candles? Is it really to celebrate that person's life, or to celebrate the fact that they we haven't died yet? Or just an excuse to eat cake? Well, any of the above work for me. I like any excuse to eat cake, which I'm sure comes as a complete shock to anyone who knows me. Anyways, michelle has gone for the night so I'm spending time with my dog. well, he's actually just sleeping on the couch next to me and not paying much attention to me. So I'm just going to use this as an excuse to put a picture of him on my blog. Anyways, Happy Birthday to me and everyone else who shares my birthday with me . . .Kyle, Collette, Rowena, etc. All these people stealing my birthday.

The unspeakable act. . .

Well, it's true. I have committed the unspeakable act. . . I have gone back to work at Boston Pizza, now in Prince Albert. When I left Moose Jaw I promised myself that I would never work at BP's again. Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad place to work as far as restaurants go, its more the whole restaurant scene that I wanted to get out of. My current job is so vastly opposite of what my last job was. Going from directing a Bible camp where I am serving God and directing people to serving people food and being at the bottom of the barrell again. It is somewhat nice to not have to make decisions and tell people what they need to be doing but it is definitely not very fulfilling. It's really just amazing and strange to look back at the road that God takes us on. Here I am fully capable of doing much more challenging work yet I am doing what I have done for the last couple of years. But I must realize that I am not in control and allow God to take me on this journey wherever that may be. I know that I have a variety of ideas of what and where my life should be at this point in my life but no matter how great my ideas are, I know that God's path is far greater than those. Our theme verse for camp this past summer was
I Corinthians 2:9 ,"No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has imagined, what God has prepared for those who love Him."
I've read that verse so many times over the past few months at camp but it seems to be more and more relevant to life now that we are out of camp. It gives me hope and allows me to realize that God has incredible plans for me. . . I selfishly pray and hope they do not involve BP's for the rest of my life. Well, that's enough rambling for now.

Well, this is us 2 years ago on our wedding day. Not much has changed except that we are both fatter than we were there. Oh well, we can always try to get back to that point right?
