Turns out Keith isnt as bad as people were saying. dirty rumors. Some people went to see him yesterday and he might have to get a skin graph but they have to wait a couple days before the swelling goes down because they say its like swollen to 2 times the size and its just his knee and the front of his leg are gross..still keep him in your prayers though
Were having a small group meeting tonight at our sponsors house so that should be fun., looking forward to tonight. and iv actually been alot better lately, im generally happier and learning to ignore my parents. I think everyones beginning to be in the christmas spirit anyways.or at least me
I better go though. i might have more later.
God bless

Hey, im still kinda bummed ,but something christine said at youth tonight hit me
Basically she said that we need to reach out to people we normally dont talk to,even if it means stepping out of our comfort zone. we can start with just a smile ,a simple encouragment card, or a quick prayer
At the start we kinda did a thing to pair up everyone in the youth group and we would pray for each other. and i thought that was an awesome idea becuase i got an oppertunity to pray with someone i dont know all that well. and its nice to get to know people like that and just to keep each other accountable
Then we wrote out encouragment cards for one another. those arent used as much as they should be and you just wrote something nice to encourage that person. I love getting things like that so that was great.
Good job christine

this is something that kinda oozed out of my brain whilst in I.P
enjoy?

Steph' s glad shes not a rock


why did i have to get up this morning
im tired
school is super boring and long today
sitting here isnt too much fun either
my work isnt coming up and my internet isnt working
and it causes me to write things that im thinking
like a big chocolate cake...
im hungry..
and i have to walk home for lunch
i wish i could drive
then i wouldnt have to walk anywhere
that would be cool never to have to walk and you got transported everywhere
i wish i could stay at home and sleep all day
kinda like a rock
I wish i was a rock
no worries
but you woudnlt know what worries were because a rock cant think
come to think of it im glad im not a rock

The following animals are funny when...

Gerbils, especially when seen lifting weights.
Platypus's, especially when used out of context.
Beavers, in any number of jokes involving the word "stuffed."
Giant Ground Sloths, in almost any context.
Sheep, especially the vampire variety. Or when discussing David.
Howler Monkeys, when discuss screechy people.
Chimps, when dressed as 80s action film heroes, when wearing tutus and riding tricycles.
Donkeys, when wearing sombreros and walking into easily visible walls.
Bunnies, when commenting on the mighty Esquilax, a lion with the head of a rabbit and the body of a rabbit.
Circus Folk, while commenting on things with small hands which smell of cabbage.
Pooh-Bears (fictional), upon a) meeting someone named "Winnie" or b) when someone gets their head stuck in a pot of honey.
Cows, almost anytime.
Ducks, when speaking in British accents.
Penguins, when shooting out of icy water, when waddling around Antarctica, or when trying to kill batman

Mmm Mmm Good.

the progressive supper is tonight! . im insited. and im getting hungry even thinking about it.
For those poor souls who dont know what the progressive supper is...its 7 houses hosting a part of a meal. in groups you go to diffrent houses and the first they serve you punch, then you go to another house and they give you soup then go to another and they give you salad then another which is appetizers. then another wich is main course..and i think you go back to the church for dessert.
so that will be good
As for my feeling status. im a bit better but still crappy, and im super frustrated with someone.. but i wont say who it is at the moment..for obviouse reasons. anyways i better be off.
God bless

Things havent been much better lately..in fact theyve been kinda worse.
I dont know if all of you know so im just gonna say it now. I come from a home where im the only christian. In fact, my parents are far from being christian. And both of them have cronic depression. So our house is usually filled with anger and yelling because my dad is new to this because he just got diagnosed so the meds are affecting him weird and my mom has always been an angry person even with the meds.
My brothers the closest person i have in my immidate family and he snaps at me more than not, but sometimes hes nice. My parents give me no support in what i do. they point out the bad things and hardly compliment me. and for those who say " Oh, iv seen your parents they arent all that bad from what i see" i dont want them to sound like.. some friggen maniac but thats just a face they put on when companys over.
So as you can see my home isnt a happy place. and thats part of the reason im always bummed...
Just thought some of you might like to know a bit whats going on.
anyways God bless

*sigh* this weekends been good in the sense that I haven't been locked up in my house all week. But its been bad in the sense of my feelings and stuff. I have lower self esteem than usual. I don't know why and I just feel lonely and just plain down and I haven't been learning all that much in the spiritual sense..There's been a couple people who have been trying to help and I thank you very much and I think you might know who you are. Just right now is really tough..So if your up to it. Keep me in your prayers
something I was pondering today.
When you pray. Don't pray for God to take away your trials,for they are there for a reason and God wouldn't put you there if he didn't have a purpose. Instead pray for God to help you through the trail and to grow through it.
I guess this is what I need to do more of. Just realize he's putting me through this for a reason and God would never put anyone in a situation without having a way out. This is just one of his crazy ways that he works to perhaps make me stronger

God bless

Im at school at the moment so I should make this one quick.
schools still stressful but I don't think it ever isn't going to be. we were out in the snow playing capture the flag for some reason. oh yah Hooray for snow! Its actually staying. I know later on this year ill be saying " oh man I hate the snow" but I always love it first off. So praise God for the snow!
yeah, back to venting. I have a large headache. And drivers ed after school. Sometimes it can be funny. Like when my teacher said she stuffed her son in the trunk of her car and drove around the block 6 times..haha..Good times
or when this French version of the video was playing and it was turned really loud and I said " wow that was loud" and she replied with "yeah especially in French.."
(since French is louder than English?)

Last night when I was at youth we were talking about a book written by"ralooul(sp?)" spraoul(sp?) lol, called. "Now that's a good question" its faq's about life and faith. He supposedly is one of the most sought after of today's theologians, But Kim pointed out that the book is about as big as the bible, and its written by a man, probably inspired by God, but the bible itself is full truth, no opinions just 100% truth.
then lark made a good statement * Kim probably said it this way just made it more clear* she asked which one of these would be most appealing in times of need. A quick fix. Or full truth. Most people would pick the quick fix, whislt you should be seeking the whole and complete truth. Whatever God wants to show you He'll show you. you just have to look in the right place.
I have tons of thoughts crammed into the small space that my mind is right now. But I wont go on any longer
anyways. I guess it wasn't as short as I thought it would be. So I best be off
God bless

Ah crappy. well i knew it would happen but i didnt know it would come this fast.
I have a sequence of bad days where i feel awful then they start getting awesome.. it usually lasts like 2 weeks but this one lasted a couple days and im back where i started..
And i need to make that decision by tomrow. the one i talked about a couple days back i think.
i just feel alone. for no apparent reason. no one to confide in but i know i do. i just feel like i dont.. but i guess this will all pass. as it always does. but comes rolling back. routine a guess. i might get used to it
Yeah, i read this thing somewhere. i completly forget though. but basically it said whatever you dont learn in school is just your brain filtering out what you wont need in the future. its sort of a survival tecnique used back in the old...days lol because they couldnt have so much crammed in their brain
all i haveta say is THATS WHAT IV BEEN TRYING TO TELL THEM! lol
yeah its just theory..or something i dont know.so dont rely on my sources i just thought it was funny/cool

I just got back from the city with my brother and Jess's brother. and saw the new bob dylan movie " masked and anonymous" , one word. SWEET. i highly reccomend it. although it is only here for 2 more nights at the broadway theater. some parts dragged on but the rest was awesome. had little things in there for no reason that was pretty funny and other parts that just made you think.
anyways. last night i went to this spiritual renewal thing, i forget the speakers name but he had some good points, but he dragged it on and i ended up not listening at the end. but im just going to talk about what separates Gods love from any other
Gods love
- God IS love
- Gods love never runs dry
- He has perfect love ( complete )
-Gods love is not timid ( hes not afraid we'll waste it)
- Gods love is unchanging no matter what

aaanyways i should be doing homework...soo God bless

Sunday, November 02, 2003

Yeah tonight i got out to a hockey game and a friend really challenged me to take a step of faith ( and i thank her ) and step out of my comfort zone to do something to please God. sooo if you could all keep me in your prayers for that, that would be great.
thanks God bless
