It's snowing!

Yay it's snowing outside! I like it when the ground is covered in snow, for whatever reason I find it calming and peaceful. I also like how traffic is forced to slow down and thus driving is so much less stressful. Driving is also filled with more adventures like hitting the ditch, hitting other cars and stuff like that. Those things aren't fun necessarily but they are exciting. I just biked home from Young Adults and it was very slippery. I was quite tipsy and all over the place, sort of like I was drunk, except not at all.

The purpose of this blog is to provide an alternative medium to email for sharing about my adventures with Jesus. This way everybody who knows about this blog can read it, without needing to get an email from me. Hopefully this will also help me to share more often because for whatever reason sending email updates feels like a chore and it shouldn't. I also hope this will be a form of therapy because lately I have been quite stressed.

So I am living in the North End of Winnipeg. I am living here because God told me to, plain and simple. So far it has been a marvelous adventure, with all sorts of ups and downs. Recently most of the ups have been with friends. I have three friends who twice a week gather in my little apartment at 5:30 AM!! and we pray together. Those are the highlights of my week. Two of them regularly sleep on my floor because they are voluntarily, semi-homeless. I love that I can offer them cereal and space to sleep and a shower if they like. Most of the downs recently are connected with work. I am a window cleaner (which I like). the way I get payed is based upon the job completed, not how long it took. So whether it takes me 3 hours or 5 hours to do a job, I still get payed the same amount. This last week has been full of full work days but only getting payed for a few hours worth of work, which is stressful. (however at Young Adults tonight we prayed about this so I'm looking forward with hope :)

Looking forward with hope,
Trenton.

  1. This is great, Trenton. Let me be the first to heartily endorse this. I think writing can be tremendously therapeutic so may this be a process that is good for you and good for those of us who support and pray for you because we'll know what's going. Blessings in your continuing Adventures with Jesus.
    Love you lots, Mom
