His plans are the best plans ...

This past week I had an amazing week! I got to go to Saskatchewan to see Chris and his family. I traveled there with another friend of mine, Dave. I am not sure what even to write because I am so in awe still of how much God taught me this week, how many ways He showed up and how His plans really are the best plans! I am almost at a loss of words because of everything (in such a good way)... maybe I'll just type and see what comes out...

We flew out Monday night and arrived in SK after many hours of plane delays due to weather, but we were there. I love being in Regina. It's weird, but it feels so natural to be there, just like as if it was my home. I love Chris' family a lot as well. They are so much fun to be around, chat with and laugh with. They teach me a lot about following after God simply by being. It is such a blessing to be around them. It is also a huge blessing to get to be around Chris. I am so proud of the man he is and continues to become, and I'm just so proud to know him. I love talking with him and that I don't have to be ashamed to cry in front of him. I appreciate so much the way he actually listens to the things going on in my heart and life and the stuff God is teaching me. People like him are rare these days. He is willing to seek after God's heart and the actual Biblical truth, even when it is hard to hear and even to understand. He helps bring that out in me as well, the desire to know actual Biblical truth. God taught me a lot this week in the area of Biblical truths. I learned new things particularly in the area of blessings and curses as found in Deuteronomy 28. There is a lot I am still processing about that so those thoughts will have to be saved for the next blog.

Traveling with Dave was also quite the time. He made me smile and laugh many times. He helped get me a wonderful extra day in Regina (although he doesn't see it that way, I do) He distracted me and held my hand as I cried on the plane ride home. I got to comfort him during take offs and landings and a missed flight, lol. Dave is such a quality guy. He has a heart of gold and I love knowing him and the ways he allows me into his life.

Here are some pictures from the week: (it's not letting me upload them right now, so they will have to wait)
