celebrations

i enjoy spending time with the fam jam.
there is always an aboundance of laughter and food.
there is an immediate bond between strangers when they are introduced as a relative. years can pass by and they are still welcomed with open arms.
biology is a funny thing. i think its a lil more complex than we give it credit for.
whether you are a second cousin, or once-removed ;) you are still apart of who we all are.
heck this is how we should view mankind. we need to start looking for a connection with strangers, you never know, they may have played hockey with your childhood husband.
we could all be making new families within our community, one random conversation at a time.

Dodge Ram

when you pray for something with such desperation and urgency when the answer comes back within minutes why are we so shocked?!
this is how it is for me at least. maybe im alone on this matter, but i doubt it.
today i was in desperate need to find the ministry of transportation building in Guelph. needless to say i couldnt, the time was ticking much faster than i was driving. i had eight minutes to find this place. i had already been praying for God to reveal the building with flashing lights, now i was praying that God would simply direct me in the direction of EAST!
i pulled into a Petro and asked the gas attendent, ironically enough she just came to Canada last month. the first thought, OF COURSE! *disclaimer, she truly told me she just got to canada last month!!!im not trying to be funny, and im not being racist! im telling facts! *
SO... i turn around and i see a man in a toque with a large double double (from timmys)! and i thought A CANADIAN:D and hopefully a resident of Guelph!!!!:D and he WASSS!! eek!!
he explain in detail where i needed to go, even gave me extra points of references! thennnn told me to follow him cuz he was going that direction anyways!!
he hoped in his truck, i in the volvo... i walked in 1 minute late and praising Jesus for sending me a Canadian.
