The Red Room




I took a trip to Stratford last weekend and there my friends and I drank some coffee at a little place called 'Sputniks'. Sputniks has a bathroom - not a big bathroom, just one of those ones with a single toilet in it. But this bathroom was particularly amazing and caused Andrea and I to have a photoshoot in it! It was red and beautifully decorated. It was small but that didnt stop us from taking excellently cool pictures.

My time here in Toronto has been quite amazing and surprising.

Undone, walls crashed down to see Your face and know Your voice again.
Found, drowning in love to come alive again.
Loved, extravegantly, wildly, quitely and gently.
Captured again, to be held tight until I can breathe.

Who I am is Your Joy. You delight in me. That is who I am. This is real, no fakes allowed. Peace is real and I am really Yours. Like REALLY? I am REALLY YOURS. There is nothing to prove. There is life to be lived and enjoyed. There is an adventure to explore and discover, to be uncovered and fought for. I'm in. I'm fully in. You have all of me. My heart is open and my spirit is hungry. (Your hunger for God - that's the best thing about you)

From stone to flesh. From glory to glory. From death to life; all over again, only this time it's much deeper and next time will be the same. Because You are more faithful than I realised, more extravegant that I comprehended and more real than anything I have EVER known or loved.

Red for passion, red for heat and fire, red for love, red for blood, red for apples, red for danger, red for risk, red for fast cars, red for a cold nose, red for vulnerable skin, red.

I wish I had a camera inside my head

Hello Friends!
Yes I am alive and I am now wesside (west side) of the Atlantic Ocean!
The weather is rediculous...and spectacular! Heat, rain, thunder and lightening!!!

I have said hello and goodbye to My Love.



And now I am feeling that familiar ache...I thought that the ache and I had said goodbye for good, but it seems that the ache wants to come back for a little visit - just 4 weeks. (Junior is away on outreach - In the UK...Is this a sick joke?? hmmm no, I don't think so...I think it's a gift, a surprise, something that we will know the value of and treasure when time has past)

oh and I wrote a little poem to myself...

Oh Lo,
By now you should know,
How high in the sky you can fly.

So just go away from here,
to be near to the one your heart loves

And smile like the sun
Reflected off the water,
Giving kisses to the sea
I wish I could be
Where you are.


The other night, for my birthday, my best friend Andrea took me to a concert. It was AMAZING! The band we went to see were Pilate and they were excellent.
The whole evening was just one fun night of cool things. The first support were SO good - Wintersleep and the second support were from WALES!!!! (People in Planes)

I was so inspired. I love seeing people do what they love and do it with excellence. And there is NOTHING like being at a live concert. Yep, we had a good time!

The Leaders School starts tomorrow. I will be a small group leader again...that's a bit weird, but very wonderful. I love being at the school I love seeing people set free and healed and going for their dreams. I love being around my incredible leaders and pastors.




Ok, gotta go and move...again...Today Andrea and I are moving our stuff back to the school where we will be living in our AIR CONDITONED room with an En-suite...SWEET!

Peace x
