No. 363 - This Is Our City Part 10

Yay, not only is the 365 Photo A Day Challenge coming to an end in TWO days,

but this also marks the end to the This Is Our City Challenge. I started this challenge as a way to document ownership of the beauty and potential of Fort McMurray. I love where I live and I wanted to share that love, whatever it looked liked. This final installment is a bit different though.

At the end of July, the youth and young adults of MGA got together at Borealis Park to celebrate the Lord and worship in the midst of our city. It was an amazing and challenging night. But it will never be more powerful to sing "Oh no, we won't stay silent/Shout it out from the rooftops singing/We're not ashamed, not ashamed of You, Jesus" as it is to sing it outside. We are here. This is our city.

No. 360 - This Is Our City Part 9

Last week, my friends and I had the opportunity to go up to Abram's Land in Timberlea. This is the area of land that will have the future McMurray Gospel Assembly on it, among other things. We sang worship songs, prayed, and just experienced the Lord. He was definitely there . . . I especially noticed in the wind.
This land is an important part of the future of our city.

Anybody else in love with clouds? Large ones. Small ones. 

Toy Story clouds. Rain clouds. Fluffy clouds. You name them. I love them.

A part of our city that I love is the effort that goes into developing beautiful spaces in between
all the residential and industrial portions of our city. Here is an example of a beautiful space.

P.S. In case anyone is wondering, this is a 10 part series. Three more!

P.S.S. Happy Birthday to this friend :)

One of my favourite parts about Fort McMurray/Alberta is the amazing sunsets I am privileged to see. I went back over my collection of pictures over the last year and picked out all my sunset shots. They are breathtaking moments.

Here is the fifth installment of the This Is Our City Challenge!

I know it isn't exactly picturesque, but construction is a huge part of our city.

Therefore I decided it needed a slot in this series.

P.S. This is my 400th post. Crazy!

I am so fortunate. 

This entry of This Is Our City is the AERIAL view of our beautiful city.

Buh-bye, airport.

Hope you enjoyed the plane ride as much as I did. I feel so privileged to live in such a gorgeous area.
