Bucketlist Mishaps

So here I am reading through my bucket list and I come to one that says "cliff diving" and I just look at those words and think to myself"what are you, some kinda stupid?!!"
I don't like heights, seriously...I have trouble jumping off my bunk bed. So I think cliff is going to have to be a very broad term. Like...a bluff!A little one.and diving might have to mean be pushed. So when it says cliff diving I really mean get pushed off a 4 foot bluff. :)

Then I see "backpack across the Himalayas. Really Mia? REALLY??!!! You don't even like hiking girl! So then I thought to myself, well...how big can the Himalayas really be? I saw it in a movie once! What was it again? Oh yeah...ice age. Well let me just show you a map of the Himalayas just in case your like me and don't research things before deciding to do them. So when I say "backpack the Himalayas" I really mean backpack PART of them....the small part.
When I made this list I thought to myself "self! I'm going to live life to the fullest!" But apparently I didn't think about the fact that I'll probably die long before finishing my full life list.

Because He first loved me

"Though our feelings come and go, God’s love for us does not."
I came across this quote today and was shocked at the timing. I'm not going to go into it really but I've been having some serious questions about my faith. Some people were telling me that I have to rely on my won good works to go to heaven. And I let them tell me that I was going to hell. But that is not the God that I serve. I serve a God who loves me so much that he died for me. If I had to be perfect to go to heaven then why would God have died? Our works make no difference in how much God loves us, our works should eb as a result of his love. Not us trying to repay a debt, because it cant be payed.

"God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, ⁵ even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ-by grace you have been saved- ⁶ and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, ⁷ so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. ⁸ For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, ⁹ not a result of works, so that no one may boast."( Ephesians 2)
I'm saved because I believe in Jesus, because he loves me and I am humanly, feebly trying to love him. Not because I'm a vegetarian. Not because I dress conservatively. Not because I don't have piercings. Not because I listen to good music. Not because I'm a virgin. Not because I don't do drugs. Not because I don't drink. Not because I pass out glow tracks. Not because I go to church. Not because I don't swear. Not because I'm a Adventist.
The ONLY reason that I am saved is because for some reason God looked at me and decided to love me. And because He first loved me, thats why I love Him.

Baby Time!

I'm back! I know...I've been gone a long time! First there was Cali tour and then Christmas break and then GYC and now I'm finally back in good ole Canada.
Christmas break was awesome except for the fact that Mom and Dad couldn't make it :( But my sister was all pregnant and she dragged me out shopping and to midwife appointments and basically everywhere she went. So that was pretty fun, not so much relaxing, but hey since when do you relax at Christmas right?
The baby was so cute! I mean...yes it was still inside her tummy, but it kept kicking and punching and doing cartwheels inside there! I thought it was awesome but the poor Mommy got all bruised from all the violence in her tummy.
So on spring break I'm going back to FL for the birth! EEEEE! Now tell me that is not cool. I'm gonna be such an awesome aunt. I'm gonna take it bungee jumping and skydiving and I must by all means bring it to it's first rodeo....and first football game. It will like football. And if it doesn't, then it will like all the hotdogs it will get to eat at said game. :)
Anyways, I have to go read. Well, technically I don't have to, I'm just ditching y'all cause my book is really good!
