JESUS FREAK

2005-11-10T12:20:00.000-08:00

So wow one part of my spiritual life that has really been lagging or actually pretty much non-existent unfortunatley is reading the bible and as Deanna would say "getting into the word" but thanks to her i have been getting back inot it and its really great! its crazy how much you can get out of one or two verses if you just take a minute to really listen to what its saying and what it really means for example i've been going through James the last few days and yesterday night one verse that really caught my attention was part of verse 2 in chapter 3 (3:2) "If anyone is never at fault in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to keep his whole body in check. " and i read that and i was like WOW thats crazy! i had never thought about it before. But that is so true so often our words get us in trouble or hurt us or others, and if only we could get a hold of our tongues then we could avoid so many problems and tempataions and stuff so i found that kewl. n e ways im writting this is in family studies cuz we have free-ish time! hahaa and the bell is going to be ringing soon so ill tty'all later!

CAMP!!!!!

2005-08-18T09:06:00.000-07:00

So I just got back from another week at pine orchard!!!! whoop whooooo! LOL this time for a family camp though....although i guess i never wrote n e thing about my cabin leading experiences a couple weeks ago at Pine Orchard either....well both have been fun althought familly camp didnt seem as fun as usual at the time i look back andi think it was pretty darn fun! n e ways during the family campi worked in the kitchen as a waitress (this is likemy fourth yeardoing so :S) and for like halof the week( or so it seemed) i was like the only waitress so it was a lot of work and imthinkin i prolli won't work there again next year... i'mmlooking for amore stable job. N e ways i think the most exciting part of camp was how much i was able to get involved...because my church's worship team got to do like a 5 minute worship preview thing and we all did really well andnow theymight be hiring us (yes i said HIRING us) to do the entire worship next year, which would be totally awesome! also for the youth service night i was lead singer and keyboardist and it was amazing! and then the nextnight for servicei got asked to accompany amybeth shaffer and her flute which was fun too! n e ways im just pretty excited!

and now let me enlighted you on the happening os kids campat Pine Orchard, where i was a cabin leader. Oh boy! i think the best parkof the entire week was the speaker....JODY! she was amazing and she just gotu totally PUMPED UP FOR GOD!!!! i got such a huge spiritual high and the good news is im still on that high man! she also really mademe want to go into youth work....which i had already beenconsidering! not tomention that three of my kids in my cabin either rededicated their lives, or dedicated their lives for the first timeto God! not to mention the awesomely fun times, andsongs.....WRITTEN IN THE WORD! LOL u gotta hear that song hahahahhaa n e ways imma go now but ill tty'all later!

Canada Day

2005-07-01T20:18:00.000-07:00

so todays the day the when everybody gets together withs freinds and goes out and then goes to watch fireworks, the day when everybody has fun. this is how i wanted today to go:
waking up around the usual time (10)eat breakfast ect. and go downtown newmarket to main street (which is usualy crazy fun and hilarious!) with beth and brit and "ppl".[most likely] (.....) then we would go see a movie...[hopefully a cute movie....sry guyz] then go somewhere for dinner and then head over to the fireworks where i would sit with my freinds and either 1] laugh histarically at over extatic firework-lovers or 2] cozy up with....'someone' and watch the fireworks and then go out for ice cream and then go home and cozy up in my ved and go to sleep
this is how it actually went:
woke up at 9:30 to eat pancakes my mom made, waited for brit to come. when she finally arrived we went to mains street walked up one side once then headed home to cath the perfect man...which although is extremely corny in some parts has a good overall moral and was the one movie i was actualy fighting to keep tears down in...then we headed to my house and hung with the renst while my grandmother tried to give me voice lessons. then we ate strawberries and ice cream and beth and brit went off to meet john smith and aaron and his girlfreind while i got stuck with the 5 yr. old twin cuzins. just like my family we left for the fireworks at 6:30ish i took my cuzins to the park and soon became the lift me onto the monkeybarsbecauseimtooshort person and lifed like ten kids onto the monkey bars at least six times eachafter 2 or 3 hours of grueling work at the park we went back to the hill to wtch fireworks with the LOVELY FAMILy! great!...2 hours, and a fist fight later, bored and watching all these other ppl my age hanging out with there freindsand having fun and shivering and shaking so hard i didnt noe if i could stop...i landed at my house starving, depressed and disappointed...but the fireworks were great!.........wat a great Canada Day

HAPPY CANADA DAY! and Happy birthday to IVY!!! hope u had a good one!

a really cute story i stole from Luka!

2005-06-09T08:06:00.000-07:00

Once upon a time there was an island where all the feelings lived; happiness, sadness, knowledge and all the others, including love. One day it was announced to all the feelings that the island was going to sink to the bottom of the ocean.So all the feelings prepared their boats to leave. Love was the only one that stayed. She wanted to preserve the island paradise until the last possible moment. When the island was almost totally under, love decided it was time to leave. She began looking for someone to ask for help. Just then Richness was passing by in a grand boat. Love asked, "Richness, can I come with you on your boat?". Richness answered,"I'm sorry, but there is a lot of silver and gold on my boat and there would be no room for you anywhere". Then love decided to ask Vanity for help who was passing by in a beautiful vessel. Love cried, "Vanity, help me please!" "I can't help you", Vanity said,"You are all wet and will damage my beautiful boat". Next, Love saw sadness passing by. Love said, "Sadness please let me go with you". Sadness answered, "Love, I'm sorry, but, I just need to be alone now" Then, Love saw Happiness. Love cried out, "Happiness, please take me with you!" But Happiness was so overjoyed he didn't hear love calling him. Love began to cry. Then, she heard a voice say, "Come Love, I will take you with me". It was an elder. Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that she forgot to ask the elder his name. When they arrived on land the elder went on his way. Love realized how much she owed the elder. Love then found Knowledge and asked, "Who was it that helped me?" "It was Time", Knowledge answered. "But why did Time help me when noboddy else would?", Love asked. Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and sincerity, then answered, " Because only Time is capable of knowing how great Love is."

AWWWW isnt that soooo cute! lol i just had to steal it HAHAHA sry LUka!

Europe Debrief!

2005-06-02T12:14:00.000-07:00

haha so yeah i noe this is kinda late but since im here at the school with some major time on my hands in between exams n stuff i thought i'd tell you guess some of the best parts of the Europe missions trip! Well hmm all around it was an amazingly fun trip! between the shopping and the amazing God experiences to the going-crazy-in-hotel-rooms and asking for as many pillows as possible! hahaha any ways so i think two of the best God experiences in Europe was 1. after our first concert in Romania when a lot of the youth (Both Romanian and Canadian!) came together and started worshiping around the piano with the Romanians singing in Romanian and the Canadians singing in english it was so cool to really see in a tangible way that people all over the world...no matter wat their background or language...can worship God. Also it was cool to see that the one thing we all had in common was that we loved God. any ways though im sure y'all heard all about that in classes and stuff. The second really great God experience was ion Germany at Dacheau Concentration camp, When the survivor talked to us. And when we presented him with flowers to thank him for comming to speak to us he came back up and started weeping and telling us how his experience with us was changing him and that he could tell that we were God fearing people and that he was gonna go home a changed man. To me this experience was really significant because this whole trip so many people had been really wondering if this really was a missions trip of else just an excuse to get to tour Europe, but this experience shook n e thought like taht out of our minds and i think it really encouraged us as a team and that even if we had only affected that one man...we had accomplished what we had gone there to do.
Other then that there was so much fun i would never be able to write everything....hans jokes.....budapest tours....mean tourguides....the bear caves HAHAHAHA....randomly falling off the bed in the Hotel (HAHAHA dani and helen!)...eating like 4 peoples berry mousse dessert! haha...grat worship sessions....cool euro. cars......amazing people....fun concerts....falling asleep on the bus only to wake up later with 5 people takin pic of u while you sleep....bathroom mishaps HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhAha and soooo miuch more n e wqays i think imma stop now but yeah it was such a good experience and i thank everyone who helped give the chance to go on this trip (like sponsers n stuff) and i feel bad for everyone who got left behind....
later folks!

The Future

2005-03-05T15:12:00.000-08:00

Wow reading Melody's blog just now really hit something with me
As some of you may know, my ultimate dream would be to become a actress or recording artist [or both! lol] BUT i also know that most of the people in both of those businesses are pretty messed up and immoral, and i know i don't want to be like them. I also know God gave me a talent and that one day he's gonna be askin me how i used them and i don't want to have to sit there and tell him "....well...i sang in church?" because even though singing in church is great, most of the people in church are already christians they don't need to hear about Christ the way others [non-christians] do. Another thing is how do i get into the business in the first place? i mean its not like u just go to a studio and say "hey can u record me?" it takes work and not to mention money. Another thing is i know u have to be really good at what u do if u wanna make it in showbizz and the recording world, and what if im not good enough to make it...i mean there are a lot of really good artists out there, and also how do i become famous once i get started?....aaaaaaggggghhhhhhhhhhh so many questions......to littlle answers any ways im gonna leave for now ill talk to you guyz later!

True Love [a reply to Nadine]

2005-02-19T19:17:00.000-08:00

Ok so Nadine gave a list of all reasons of why she does not believe in true love; there were about 5 two of them were based on owrries that either him or her would fall for someone else...but isnt the point of true love about the fact that the love is true/perfect/ideal, the love everyoen is looking for. another reason is based on a worry that he will be chaming but decietfull [b/c really he'll be a lazy bum] but if this guy is supposed to be ur true love what the heck is he doing decieving u? its is most likey that if the guyzdecieving u hes not ur true love. Also u mentioned something about u dont want to join the large perscentage of people who end u in divorces [b/c its hurts too many people]...two disagreements here...1-> if everyone said that the human race would practically die out lol 2->the reason so many people's marriagers end up in divorce is because they havent taken the time to figure out if this guy is in fact the guy they are willing to spend the rest of they'r entire life with...they either rushed into a relationship only to find the person that they married is a totally different person then they thought or the didnt rush into the marriage neccessarily but they just got with the guy cuz he was either good looking or rich or could benefit them in some way...although that is wat i call a planned breakup ... which them obvoiusly isn't a caswe of true love supposedly gone bad. somthings i believe about true love are:
1. if its really true love it won't/can't go wrong [this totally dosen't mean it will be a perfect marriage with no troubles/turbulance]
2. true love takes time [it doesn't just appear]
3. true love works hard [dosn't give up in the had times]
4. true love helps each other out
5. true love encourages and dosent put down
6. true love is forgiving and understanding
7. true love is not about sex or physical appearance
and i could prabally think of more i sat here long enough haha n e ways thayts my opion nadine so give me some reply same with n e one else
LUV Y"ALL!!

Blonde Jokes!

2005-02-08T11:42:00.000-08:00

everyone knows a blonde joke...probaly more then one! i know i do (and im a blonde so thats gotta say something!) lol n e ways most people (including myself) find them really hilarious especially since some of them are true! even so though, there are a lot of people who really find these jokes offensive, saying things like when u tell the jokes u r stereotyping in an unrealistic way, and blondes aren't really THAT dumb and its true. A lot of blondes are actually pretty smart others..........not so much take for instance the blonde jokes where theres a blonde a redhead and a brunette stranded on an island 20 km from the mainland and they decide to try and swim back, the red head makes it half ways (10km) the brunette makes it 15 km and the blonde swims 19.5 km gets bored and swims back...lol now we all know that wouldn't happen in real life, in fact as i sit here trying to figure out one that actually could happen i can't! lol but since none of thses jokes are even real and are only told for joke's sake then why do some people get so riled up with them? so if n e one has an answer to that plssss enlighten me!!!!! n e ways i am going to leave and go do some math homework...ironic how i don't take math class and still end up with math homework..aaahhhhhhhh its always in my way!!!

what i think about boys ( a reply to nadine!)

2005-02-05T14:57:00.000-08:00

ok so heres what i think:
sometimes guyz are the best people to be freinds with, other times...not so much. sometimes we as girls don't realise that guyz don't make the first move because they're just as scared of rejection as some girls are. some guyz don't make the first move because the girl they wanna make the move on is really intimidating to them. i think that guyz are better to talk to [then girls] becsuase they don't struggle with gossip as much as girls. i think guyz who flirt with you and then also flirt with the next girl don't even realise they're flirting (just like u NADINE!) i also think that if they do know that they're flirting with u and the next girl they see they arent hitting on u or making a move theyre just harmlessly flirting OR they are just jerks and are a waste of ur time. i think some guyz out there are the meanest jerks in the world but they are also some of the kindest, sweetest people in the world as well. i think that when guyz act weird around you when they find out u like them its b/c they are afriad of accidentally flirting/leading you on and then having to break ur heart or else they feel bad because they can't return ur love n e ways this is becoming lengthy now so ill stop for the time being ill ttyl
