The makeover is coming along very well. I hope to be able to get it all up along with a few good articles by the end of the week.

Back home! 7,000 miles and 4 weeks later I’m sleeping in my own bed again. Ah, does that feel good!

It’s fun travelling across the country in a minivan with 2 seats full of your parents and 5 seats full of your siblings a trunk full of suitcases and the tank full of gas. It’s fun meeting people you only know through blogging and enjoying great fellowship. It’s fun visiting places you’ve never seen and people you’ve never met. But even so, I’m glad to be home.

I just posted an article (below) for you all to read.

Now that I’m back you can expect the new blog makeover to take place in a couple weeks. You can expect regular posting again, and well, just expect my presence again.

God Bless you all!

Well, I’m starting to get comments asking me where I am. I’m sorry everybody, I thought I’d be able to post a little more when we travel. I more than likely will because we still have two full days of driving.

Right now our family is driving to California, and visiting friends and meeting new ones along the way. I’m sitting here in a hotel in Texas right now, catching up with all the things I get behind on while I’m travelling.

So… As far as that goes. I’ll hope to get a post up sometime this week yet. I may not though. But as far as plans go, I’ve got a pile of them.

When I return home in the beginning of February, Oneway Purpose will be undergoing a re-design, and I am hoping to release 5 new weekly series at once. That’s all I’ll tell you for now, expect in the first couple weeks of February.

God Bless you all!

I’d like to take a moment to thank all of you who voted for Oneway Purpose. I’d like to specifically thank Alex and Brett Harris of ‘The Rebelution’ for nominating and recommending me in the Best Canadian Blog (student) category.

Thankyou all!

Yes, it’s American Thanksgiving, and I’m from Canada, but I still am going to make a post about what I’m thankful for today. I am thankful for… Oh, so many things.

My Parents
I’ll give you one guess why I’m thankful for them. Well, that’s not the only thing about them. You see, I wasn’t always so thankful for them. There was a time in my life when I actually regretted their presence quite a bit. Thankfully, God used various circumstances to bring myself to him. That was nearly 4 years ago now. I’m thankful my parents are concerned about our spiritual well-being. I’m thankful that my parents decided to homeschool us. (reminds me I should post my article on homeschooling) I’m thankful that they followed God as he led them to this place out in the country. I’m thankful, to have the privilege of growing up in a strong Christian, God-centered family. Thanks Mom and Dad, for following the Lord, and showing us the way too.

My Siblings
We. That’s the word here. It’s all of us that make the we. If it weren’t for all of us, there wouldn’t be the family. And oh, families are no fun without people in them. Right? My brother especially deserves special thanks. We’ve been pretty close the past few years. He’s that… how do you say it… balancing force? He’s able to balance out some of my over ‘enthusiasm’ with reality pretty quickly. My younger sister too. Christina. If some of you girls wonder why I don’t have any girl-phobia. It’s because of her. And all the younger ones too. Bright spots. As all of you will agree who have younger sisters.

What else shall I say I’m thankful for? God, but he knows that. Well, I’m going to be turning 17 quite soon now, and I’ve been thinking how fast the last couple years have gone. For the past couple years I’ve been looking forwards to the ‘older teen’ years. But all of a sudden I’m starting to arrive there and, wow. I’m glad for this, that I have trusted the Lord through the last few years. I cannot imagine what I would be doing now if I hadn’t. Would I have followed my older brother’s steps into the world, into a life of sin? My attitude would likely have taken me there. I chose the Lord early, and I’m thankful for that. It has blessed my life so much. It is my life purpose, goal, and heartfelt desire to continue sharing that blessing with others.

God Bless you all on this evening, the snow is blowing here and it’s down to -13ºC(9ºF) Tonight. It’s cold, it’s blowing snow, but our hearts are all warm I trust. May God be with you all, and give you cause to be thankful.
