A snapshot of my vacation

I haven't posted anything in a few weeks, not because there's been nothing to write about but because I just got back from vacation on the East Coast of Canada! :D

We went through New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and PEI all in 10 days! It was truly beautiful!

There was ziplinig, whale watching, sigh seeing, light house visiting, Cabot trail driving, fortress exploring, beaches, Anne of Green Gables and visiting friends! Quite a whirl wind! So I thought I'd post a few pictures of the vacation.

Zip lining in New Brunswick! (Something that was on my bucket list- not necessarily the New Brunswick specific part - just the zip lining)

Visited the Hopewell Rocks in NB

At Peggy's Cove in Nova Scotia. 

We were really busy the whole trip and this was one of the few moments I just got to learn "Be still and know that I am God' as I listened to the waves of the ocean. Sure it was only for 10 minutes. But that still moment was great none the less. 

This was driving along the Cabot trail.

I love this picture so much! I loved green fields and cliffs right beside the ocean! 

This was also somewhere along the trail... 

LOOK: Trees and... trees....and more treeees! 

A look out point on the Cabot trail. 

One of the beaches we went to in PEI 

Yep. Red rocks and dirt and sand. I was actually there!

I can cross off going to PEI off my bucket list as well now! Although... I want to go back many more times so maybe I won't ;P
I really loved it there!

Anyway that's a little snapshot of the vacation! 

I love...

Right now I'm really learning bits and pieces.

I mentioned in my last post about how I was learning to pray out loud more. And I'm still doing that!

I'm also starting to learn how to just

“Be still, and know that He is God" [psalm 46:10]

I got a few of those moments out on vacation, where i just sat and listened to the sound of the waves and took in the vastness of the ocean and the number of the trees! 

I've noticed that lately, I like just going out and sitting down, being still(which is difficult for me) and sitting with Jesus. Not really praying or anything at the time, just sitting in unearthly peacefulness and maybe humming a song. 

And I've realized in these times that I just want to spend time with Him for no reason what-so-ever is probably because I'm falling in love with Him. 

And that's actually a really amazing thought and I've suddenly realized how much God has really protected me in my love life. 

I have never had many crushes in my life (about 4 as far as I can remember) while I did go through a weird phase in grade 7 where I wanted boys to really like me, I never really had much interest in them and all through high school friends would ask who I was crushing on and 98% of the time it was nobody. And sometimes they didn't believe, but eventually they realized I actually don't really 'crush' on boys. 

And I've realized just how blessed I really am that my heart has not been broken over and over by guys, like a lot of girls my age. 

To top it all off, I know what I want in a guy and most of the character traits I have in my mind of 'Mr. Right' are character traits that Jesus has. And I've noticed lately that a guy can't seem to capture my heart if he doesn't love Jesus as well! 
And that is just a huge blessing! 


So that is the basically what I've been learning and thinking about and noticing the last few weeks! :)
