I feel like I haven’t have any real rest since a week. I started a cold and worked lots no matter the little energy I had. I’ve been busy going from Montreal to the South Shore to Montreal to my dad’s to Montreal and teaching. Ah and on Sunday we helped my grandparents move out and then in their new home. I was really tired by the end of the day and just wanted to leave, but eh they needed us. I’ve never felt low on energy like that since the day I was born. I have enough energy to do all I need to, but it is so tiring, all of the sudden just to be in the métro, my energy goes down and I feel dizzy. It’ll go away… someday.

So I’m living by myself now, still at my grandparents’ place (well, their old place) and it’s neat. For little things like, doing laundry after supper, playing the guitar without a care about how loud it is, leaving the house without saying goodbye to anybody or when I should be back, taking a shower at 12:30pm… all kinds of little things that make me feel more at peace, more free. I can rest, at last from the routine and the “oh not too loud” or “man, I have no other time than in the evenings to do laundry these days, when am I going to get to do it?” or just planning my time according to the fact that I know that my grandma will talk to me for a little bit before I leave. It’s a good feeling to be here by myself.

Since I think of it, I don’t know what he studied in, but my brother-in-law just graduated from seminary. Clap clap clap. I thought I should highlight this event since I seem to highlight everything going on around me.

Ah, before I leave. I just noticed the title of this post. Pursued. Well my grandparents are not living here anymore and I’m enjoying it, especially the fact that I am no longer caught up in my grandma’s long conversations. So the phone rang. And yes, it was my grandma. No, she had nothing in particular to tell me, but she did talk to me for a little while about all kinds of things. I felt as if I was pursued… hopefully she won’t call me every night! Oh well, I wonder about what love is though.

  1. Gabrielle;

    I think you are wonderful. I understand your feelings of enjoying the solitude. When I get those opportunities, I feel completely at ease to just BE and not DO. Wonderful! It’s good hearing what you’re up to these days!

    She will persue you wherever you go! You will find no rest, you cannot hide from her. You are doomed, doomed….. (ha-ha-ha)

  5. Hey Jason

    I’m not sure what you mean by “you noticed?” but the only thing I can think of is this:

    Yes I noticed I was doomed. Not about my grandma pursuing me, (I’m actually thinking I should give them a call… ;) but I am doomed because of sin. Well, I was doomed, but it still has power over me, as we all notice it in my life eh.

    “And as He stands in victory, sin’s curse has lost its grip on me, for I am HIs and He is mine, bought with the precious blood of Christ.” as the song goes.
