Bedtime Stories

I achieved almost all those things. I never walked along the water of Leith, nor did I print off pictures. My room did get tidied... in the end. But so much more than just those things on my list happened. Thankfully! It was a good wee break and I am so thankful for it. It was a time of rest, I had some good conversations and made memories. Belfast was so nice. I can't say we did anything extraordinary, Ruth and I watched August Rush, a pretty good film with extraordinary music. On Friday we met up with Derek and Alan and together we walked around town. There is not much to see really. But it was so nice. We also met up with Ben, my friend from camp, and Alan's good friend from home. We had good food, good chat and it was wonderful to be away from Edinburgh and responsibilities for a day and just enjoy the company.


Pretty much sums it up.

My trip up to the Abbey (in Edinburgh) was also lovely. We went between rain showers. Actually, it poured on our way back, but we saw a beautiful rainbow, which made the walk even more stunning. The views, the crags, the Abbey itself, the trees starting to blossom, the clouds, the sun shining on the wet rooftops... stunning.



I want to share one of my favorite videos just now. Have tissues handy. But it is an amazing picture of a parent's love, and a husband's love. It is a wonderful story. It is a great outlook on life. It is a beautiful picture of God's ability to show Himself in such small things. A baby's life. "God found great pleasure to take a lowly thing in the eyes of the world and show truth."

Dear Eliot.

As the days go by I continue to wonder what to do past September. Jobwise, whether to continue living in Edinburgh or consider moving. It is still a mystery to me. I find great comfort in the knowledge that God goes before me. God know what is around the corner. And it's ok, what awaits me is good. So I try not to worry. I am a natural worrier. But here is yet another chance to choose not to worry about tomorrow.

I'm sure there is so much more I could say, but I will stop there and make the wise choice of going to bed. It is before midnight and these days that is an accomplishment in itself.

Goodnight.
