A 'Loverly' Day in Stratford!

For my 19th (gasp) birthday, my mom and sister bought tickets to see King Lear
in Stratford! So, yesterday morning, we packed up and headed out to
spend the day shopping and touring downtown Stratford, before the show at 8pm. So fun!
Here are some fun pics that we snapped throughout the day!

Ever since we got back from NA - I've been listening to my Starfield cd almost everyday when I'm in the car! (notice that I said the car and not my car..:-) ) This is one of my favourite songs.

UNASHAMED
I have not much To offer You
Not near what You deserve
But still I come
Because Your CROSS
Has placed in me my worth
Oh, Christ my King Of sympathy
Whose WOUNDS secure my peace
Your grace extends
To call me friend
Your mercy sets me free
And I know I'm weak
I know I'm unworthy
To call upon Your name
But because of GRACE
Because of Your mercy
I stand here unashamed
I can't explain
This kind of LOVE
I'm humbled and amazed
That You'd come down
From heavens heights
And greet me face to face
Here I am at Your feet
In my brokeness COMPLETE

NA

Could one possibly describe the experience of going to New Attitude 2007? It would take so much more than one paragraph ................

Well, it was fantabolous! (yes, i wrote that word on purpose...:-) ) First of all, the worship. Although singing a capella with 3000 other people is an experience in itself - I was never as much aware of those other people, or of myself, than I was aware of my sin, Christ's saving work on the cross, and God's GLORY!!!
The song, Surrender All, was one that really impacted me and convicted me as I sang it out to the Lord.


The messages were all sooo good. When I got home, I said to my mom - " ya, we can listen to messages by C.J. and Josh Harris on the Internet anytime - but being there and seeing the passion that those men have when speaking about the gospel is so poignant! It really challenged me to go to the foot of the cross daily, remembering that God crushed his Son for my sin.
The fellowship - well, what can I say? I pretty much have the coolest friends around. :-)Anyone for some poker?.....with UNO cards for chips? lol
But seriously, being with you guys and talking about what we were all learning about God, or what we learned from the messages, was a time of encouragement for me.
O- and I absolutely loved those sweet bean bag chair things in the neighbourhood!
Car ride home - one of my most memorable car rides yet! Bubble gum rox! And I will never consume aspartame again...
This post is dedicated to Papa John's. " the pizza that never comes.........." lol
Coming sooooooooon - pictures!! memories!! fun times!!
see ya'll
p.s. Grr. I have no idea what I did wrong - it won't format properly!!!!! sorry guys. Its kinda hard to read...............
