Cheesy

When I heard that I was going on a one day staff retreat in a camp, I just thought it’d be cheesy. You see, the words like “sharing time” and “team building” don’t appeal to me, I dislike having to participate in meetings when some enthusiastic leaders push us to share and make us do cheesy exercises to get to know each other better and the like. I knew it’d be alright but still… Anyways, things turned out really good. Seriously. The people who led us into sharing about God in our lives and understanding how and why we fit (or not in my case!) in our specific departments at the college and etc. were really good and nothing was cheesy. Misconceptions, I have a lot of these.
This I say unto you: Don’t be afraid to be cheesy, sometimes it turns out to be good.

Since today I started to go for walks in the morning. I used to go for walks in the fall of 2004 when I first came to Saskatchewan. I needed this precious time with God every morning. Now, it’s not really that I feel like I need it, but I know that I need it. Because things are going pretty well and I don’t feel like I’m lonely or in a dry season, I don’t feel like I need to spend extended time just pouring out my heart to God. I do read the Bible and pray, but there is something different and deeply good about going for walks in the morning, seeing the sun turning all kinds of colors and talk to Jesus about anything on my heart. My first excuse to God that I couldn’t go for walks was that “I already get up at 6am!” but I know that my excuses are always lame. I’ll see how it goes. This morning I forgot to put my glasses on, that does not happen to me very often. Anyways, these morning walks are precious to me and I hope I will be found faithful.
