sunday mornings

its another Sunday, another day of rest.
the wind is strongly thrashing around the tree outside my window
its whipped movements almost look like the tree is excited that the spring winds are here
the sun on its bark is giving a soft glow to its body as it dances in its rays.
and when the wind dies i feel as if it is sad... it wants to play for longer in this game of spring.

yesterday i went for a walk around Toronto to bask in as much sunlight as possible. it wasn't really warm but in the sun i was toasty. after 3 hours of walking around, we decided that our faces were frozen into place and it was time to head home.
i think that spring in the city is much more enjoyable than in the country. I usually hate spring, its wet, the world is still blah. but in the city there's not much colour anyways, so spring is just sunlight! its beautiful and everyone in Toronto wants to be basking it in. and they are.

my sister is being blessed off by her church. she's going on a missions trip this week to peru. i miss her already. its going to be a long time before i see her again.
i wish her safety over all things.
i wish her love for the country, love for the children she meets,
love for the people she works with
and that all this love comes through Christ, her back bone cross that keeps her strongly pressing forward into the unknown and into knowing.
i love you with all my heart.
