THE GREATEST

ps. 24 sleeps till I GET MARRIED
ONE MONTH
31 days.
One month.
ONE MONTH UNTIL I GET MARRIED.
31 days until I’m his wife….
Our engagement has flown by. It felt like eternity at the beginning. Even two months to go felt further than I could imagine. But 31 days. That is within grasp….and I could not be more excited.
I catch myself smiling all the time. James is the most incredible man I know. He is everything I dreamed of and more. I am in awe of God’s incredible grace. I know God is good and gives good gifts but this good? God knew every intricate detail about my soul and has found the one who will take care of the parts that are tender, who will challenge the parts that are stubborn, and who will love the parts that are lonely.
My heart is full. I have found the one whom my soul loves.
I’m currently at Imadene speaking to teen girls about God’s great love for them. It’s an honour & a privilege.
It’s also a sacrifice. I miss James like crazy and he misses me.
But praise the Lord, one sweet, beautiful, precious girl accepted Christ as her Savior last night. And it’s only Tuesday…praying for many, many more salvations!

DIARY // IN AN INSTA
Supppppp.
It’s been a little busy round here the past week. I apologize for the no posting! And I’ll apologize in advance that I’ll probably won’t be posting next week either…ok I most definitely won’t be posting. I’m heading up to Nanoose Bay Teen Camp, where I’ll be getting my butt kicked on the sports field by day and my heart filled in the chapel by night. So excited to see what God has in store for the kids! The possibilities are endless.
I’m also currently finishing sermons for Imadene Teen Girls Camp (which is directly after Nanoose!) Would love your prayers for that! Pray that God would move in incredible ways! Pray for girls to come to know Jesus for the first time!!
ok, i best be going. but here are a few of my current instas. Yes, I have instagram. No, I don’t have an iphone. Don’t expect a lot of posts…but perhaps I’ll borrow my friend’s and post the occasional one or two!

HAPPY JULY 4th
I know.
I know.
I didn’t write a HAPPY JULY 1ST.
Don’t get me wrong. I LOVE CANADA. I love being Canadian! It’s just that on Sunday, I was a wee bit occupied with watching my azzuri die to the spanish.. (boooooo!)
But today is JULY 1st. I haven’t been to America since my roadtrip to Coachella last year!! My heart is for Canada but weirdly my fashion cells scream USA.
I own an american flag bikini, american flag crop top, american flag tank & american flag shorts…..odd, I know.
In honour of our wonderful neighbours down south take a peek at my lovely experience with them a few years ago…here!
And then take a look at these threads I currently have my eye on…
