Thanks for the comment Philip. I'm glad someone still reads this.
Today has been interesting. I really feel like I'm leading a double life sometimes. I have two halves of me that live in tension, feeding off one another, and growing together, but never quite syncing to make me complete. Two very distinct halves that have forgotten how to interact completely. Why is that?
I was reading a couple of other blogs today, and have borrowed the following video from my amazing Mark's blog and can't help but share his joy in marveling at this little piece of our beautiful Vancouver online. It's a sweet reminder on an otherwise slow and blustery day of the amazing place I am fortunate enough to live in, and how much I am sure that my life is here, even if I'm not always sure of what that life will always look like.
I'm going to start remodeling this blog, and update links and stuff, and hopefully even work out a way of posting my newsletters! woah. Maybe. We'll see.
Enjoy my lovely city for today...
Love
Hillary

Galatians 5: 16-24 (NLT)
Living by the Spirit’s Power
16 So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves. 17 The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions. 18 But when you are directed by the Spirit, you are not under obligation to the law of Moses.
19 When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, 21 envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.
22 But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!
24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there. 25 Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives. 26 Let us not become conceited, or provoke one another, or be jealous of one another.
