Well, maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration, that's a picture from my frontyard in November I think, but still there was a lot of snow for April. I got to visit Millar, the bible college that I went to last year. It was really encouraging, to see almost all the people again. Some didn't come back for a second year so I didn't get to see them. One guy in my hall is getting married in July. In one class Curtis, one of my best friend's from Millar got to teach a third of the class and it was so powerful what he taught. It was simple but intense he talked about just as lights need to be plugged in we can do squat without God, we need to continually rely on him. Just as you can't empty a glass of water by pouring it out (air gets in) our lives need to be filled with God and satisfaction in him alone, otherwise if we get one sin out another will come in. He talked about how so often just doing our devotional time and praying and reading God's word is a chore or sometime that "we should probably get around to doing". It can actually become the most satisfying thing in our lives and our hunger and thirst can be for God alone. I don't want to expand on what he said but it was really what I needed at that time. Just a realization that the spirit of God in us longs for us Jealously!! (James 4) All I need is to rest in him, and rely on him continually.
This break so far has been a bit of a rollercoaster trying to find a job for just one month. At one point I had an interview with a guy who ended it with yeah I'll tell you in a few days whether you got the job. And it wasn't until the weekend that my dad phoned around a bit and found out that the guy had quit his job like two days later! Yesterday I worked as a bagel sorter for almost six hours, it was really interesting but hard to stay standing for that long. If you could pray for me in this I would really appreciate it.
The best thing that happened to me recently, was yesterday I had to sit in labour ready for almost two and a half hours. Sometimes the best thing that you can do in your life is nothing. Just sit back and take a look at where your life is headed and at what's really important. At what I really wanted to be doing in the little decisions and the big decisions. I realized all the changes that I need to make and just how important prayer is. I better go now, but God bless you all!

Nice picture. It's 18C here in Holland.
Also, the last 5 years of my life, Manpower, Staffing Connection, Global Human Resources are the major people I earned my income from. Have you tried/considered going to temp agencies? They are prepared for people in situations like yours.
I hope God will bless you with a cool two week job!!!
That's cool you have such good weather. I miss people talking in Celsius. Yeah we have about five places like that in Regina temp job agencies. The first one that I called said that it would take too long to get me registered with them I would only have a week to work with them. So I started with a different one called ready labour but basically I had to wait for 2 and half hours until someone called with a job, another guy waited 6 hours and he still never got a job for the day. So I've applied with a Tim Horton's that is really understaffed and if that doesn't work then I'll just keep using this place.
Hey Corianne, I'm glad you've found my blog. How has your break been going? How was Easter? You are definitely a big encouragement, have a good day! Keep on shining for Jesus.
