For the past month and a half I have been living in Oakville. Some might not call that an adventure, but it's been new, it's been different, and it's been full of challenges. So to me, that in itself is part of what makes an adventure just that.
It might sound a little silly, but to me, in some ways moving to Oakville was possibly almost as scary as moving to Korea. When I went away to University I went with a friend. When I moved away to teach English, I went with several friends. When I decided to do the intensive ECE program at Sheridan, well, that was just me. But God has been good. I found a little basement apartment, I got offered a job part-time nannying, and I've even made a friend or two in my program. I think God also knew I needed some friends nearby, so instead of this program being way the heck out in the middle of nowhere it's kind of central to where a lot of my friends live.
I'm not going to say that every moment of the past month and half has been easy. That would be a lie. But I AM thankful for the little blessings God gives me every day. I'm also thankful for his continuing faithfulness in my life. And I'm thankful that he knows what he's doing, even if I don't always understand it.
Recently I've been going to Harvest Bible Chapel when I'm in Oakville. I've got to say that I'm really enjoying it. This week's sermon was on wisdom and was centered on Proverbs 2. I think my favourite point of the sermon was that when we seek after God's wisdom he also reveals his direction. Guess I needed to hear that this morning. We also closed off the service with the song posted below. It's a little long, but it's great. So have a listen if you've got some time. :)
I won't be overwhelmed.
Peace.
