If you are anything like me you can relate when I express my joy for people watching. There are few thing much more peaceful than sitting down in a busy area and viewing the numerous people as they hustle by. Being the Christmas season, it is the perfect time to do so. I find it mind boggling seeing so many faces and realizing that I am merely one soul in this huge world. So many individuals, so many personality, so any dreams, so many stories. I do not know any of these people, yet I can relate to each knowing that we are all humans. Their lives are unknown to me yet for one instance we are connected through the fact that we are sharing the same moment in time. It donned on me today that for all of the times that I sit and people watch, I myself is sometimes the one being watched. There is something refreezing about the fact that I live in a world where very few people know my story. I am just one of the many. One with my own fears, dreams, and passions.
The next time you are out in the busyness of life, take a chance to sit and people watch. Grasp the unique opportunity to share a moment in time with a complete stranger and appreciate the uniqueness of each individual in our world.
Simply Joy
love with no boundaries.

SO much more.
God is always doing so much more than you think He is.
This has resonated with me for the past month now. Not always do we get to see the results of God working through our lives. But sometimes, if we are lucky, God reveals glimpses of the marvellous work He is doing.
Taylor and I recently planned an event called "The Cross". At the event, we showed a Billy Graham film and then Taylor shared his testimony. When "The Cross" was on our hearts to plan for our school we had no idea the impact that it could have. I prayed for 20 people to come and for God to reveal himself to each person. The day of the event I stood and the back of the room in complete awe. God had sent 150 people. God had a much bigger plan than I could have ever foreseen.
One girl on my team recommitted her life to Jesus that night. I had no idea that my passion for planning this event would result in someone coming to Jesus.
I am meeting up with another girl next week as she messaged me after the event and expressed how the night gave her so much clarity in the midst of her struggles. This is God at work.
I was reminded that night that when God places passions on your heart that He is going to show up. He will never leave you stranded and alone. When you life in inlined with His plan, he places passion in your life and He will be with you as you pursue those passions.
I was lucky enough to hear about the way God was at work that night. But not always do we see the results. At times when is seems like God isn't working, remember that He is always doing so much more that we think He is.
