I Drove All NIght...*ahem*...all Day ;)




Had an awesome day today! Hit the road at 9:30 this morning and drove to Kelowna with my mom to see Celine Dion's movie "Celine: Through the Eyes of the World." The movie wasnt coming to Kamloops so of course we made the journey to see it in the theatre! OF COURSE IT WAS WORTH IT!


We both have made 2 trips to Las Vegas to see her and I have also seen her in Vancouver - so you may call us both die hard Celine fans!! ;)


We got to the theatre and there was this big sign taht said it was $16.00 each for admission. That was a little crazy! But again, still worth it.


The movie was absolutely inspiring!!


It is so refreshing to see someone who has made it so big, still stay true to her own and be so humble!


And her voice is just....incredible. I have no words. She is bigger then life.


So we saw the movie and we were both in such awe....it was awesome.


Then we did some shopping at Winners and the Walmart Super Centre! :)


Had a whopper at Burger King, which is a luxury now that we dont have BK in Kamloops!


Saw some Ice Fishers on Monte Lake.


It was great!


Mom and daughter road trip and Celine Dion - fun!! Memories forever!!

Yet again, I have fallen behind on my blog.

However, this time I will not apologize for it.
Because, to apologize would be to imply intentional neglect which is incorrect.

It was unintentional neglect with good intentions. :)

KA CHING - justified! (whahaa)

So, it's probably been a month or so since I last wrote on here, but I'm not going to recount everything that has been going on. Ha! Other then to say, God is good and here we are!

Had some really AWESOME conversations lately. Very HONEST conversations that have dug some issues from my heart and brought to light. It's been good. We have been talking about what is the "narrow path" and "pat answers" christians quote to people when questions are asked etc.
I am SOOOOOOOO tired of christians saying things without truly understanding what they are saying...
I feel like one of the reasons I resent that so much is that I have been around it my whole life, and oooh the issues it has caused me. I have believed what man has called "right and holy" only to find out that it was legalism and law. And, I find myself almost a little disillusioned by the whole experience. I think its good to explore and search and let God meet you where you are at. And let HIM change you, not man. I think we as christians have become a little too close minded. When people approach us with questions and reasonable arguements, we are too quick to repeat our memorized lines re:faith or we are quick to be offended. Instead, we should hear them out and represent the truth, Jesus!
So, I'm on my little journey. I want to know/feel/experience His love so much that it just overflows out of me to others...that they may feel it too!

Well its 10:24 - I oughtta get to bed! Too many late nights and early mornings!
