God always prevails!

So I was surfing the internet....facebooking....hoping that I could creep my troubles away... but I realized how weird that is, so I decided I should come to my old blog, that no one ever reads, and post all my thoughts so that random viewers can read about them instead.

So, I'm going to complain about me. Here I go.

Now, If I can say anything about my school year, or even my life over the past 5 years, its been a hectic ride. One that has been full of crazy twists and turns that never leave me knowing whats going to happen next, but I have to say this year has had the most amount of twists and turns to make up for the other 17 years of my life.

I found that going to bible college was one of best decisions I could of ever made for my Christian faith. I can admit I haven't been a happy camper all the time this year, and i probably complained about things more then I should have, but I can't imagine a better spot for me then where I am right now. I constantly enjoy the company I have around me, I enjoy the kids I get to teach and mentor, and I'm ecstatic to work at cccc this summer.

Which is why I think, that even though it seems like this year in a way completely tanks, in pretty much every other way, it really doesn't! Because when you have God with you, he always prevails. I'm so thankful for the God I serve, and I'm thankful that even when I'm in doubt about anything, he shows me the light.

Friends

Well the thanksgiving season is certainly coming up, and with it fastly approaching I've been thinking of the things in life I am mostly thanful for and the one that keeps being emphasized in my mind are my friends.

I am so blessed to have the friends I have to date. Even the people I have met this year in college I have already had some fantastic memories shared with them in such a little amount of time, I can't really express how thankful I am to be going to school with such a special group of students around me.

I'm also very thankful for the base of friends I have back at home, I don't mean to sound like a dramatic 7th grader when saying this (to see 7th grade moments refer to older posts). But I really have the best group of friends you could ask for. Yes, they make fun of me on a 100% basis, sometimes to the point where I am thoroughly annoyed and they are laughing with pleasure. But at the end of the day I'm thankful for them and their friendship to me (cheese cheese chesseeey), But I really am. They are some of the strongest Christians I know, and I am definitely thankful for them as well!

Well, thats my little spheel! Catchya later!

Another Blog Post! Goody!

YET ANOTHER BLOG POST. In the same year for that matter! Amazing. Anywho. So I basically decided to write in this thing due to the fact that 1. so many things happen to me that I feel like I should twitter about and I dont want to seem like a twitter addict. and 2. This paper I am doing is really... wonderful.. so I'm going to procrastinate! What better way to procrastinate then speak of college life. Oh college life, how I cannot describe you. How you are the highest of my education and social career. I must say though God is definitely using me here for the better, and the chances I will be here for more then a year are very high at this point, (but I am just starting off...). Great people, Awesome work, Wonderful God= good mix of stuff. I'm just so blessed God led me to a place like MCC, and that I can spend everyday here with laughter, stress, and Godly work! So back I go to Life of Christ. If I am to die of reading fever, I blame Tom Marshall.

Hi blog which I never use anymore, welcome back into my life!

Well, this is a strange experience. I am told by my friend about her blog and after some hardcore password hunting, I was able to connect back into my own! So, some time has gone by which I have not posted about anything in my life, so I might as well... post about my delightful experience which is my life!

Well, first off, ITS SUMMER. And one to remember at that, for the reason of that it's my first summer where I don't have to look forward (or not as forward) to the droning experience that is highschool! Because I graduated in June! WOO! And its August! (Boo). It has been an amazing year, filled with everything that a grad year school be filled with, grad events, homework x100, extra currics through the roof, max friend time, and you cant forget salmon. I'm looking forward to the life and post-secondary education ahead of me.. and do I miss high school? Absoutely not. :)

This summer I have been extremely blessed with the oppurtunity of working at Bayview Christian Camp, one of my favourite places to get away in the entire universe. The bubble standard of this place is phenominal, because you can get away from absoutely everything and dedicate an entire week to christian community and some major one on one time with God, so it was amazing to have the oppurtunity to have an amazing four weeks of growth in my christian faith. I believe along with many other christians that without growth in your faith then its hard to get through the journey of being a christian and there at Bayview I had tons of growth! I did my first campfire devotion and followed that by a second, and by a third. Each time it got easier and easier to share my life and what God wanted me to offer to these campers from all over. If I have the oppurtunity to work there next summer I will definitely grab it, because its probably one of my favourite places in the entire world. :)

Well I'm sure since 2008 theres been a lot of other blessings stowed into my life, but I shall catch it on the flip side dawggies!

No matter how far I stray away
I know you will never leave me
No matter who I am today
you will always percive me
Even when I dress like this or talk like that.
Your presence is always with me
and I'm thankful that you love me
In the darkest of days
Im just sorry that I left you
I dont want to hurt you
I just want to praise you
Not because you want me to
but because you understand me
And no one has such a hold on me
and I dont want to feel lost again
and I wont with you, my as my friend
So take my hand and stay with me
my friend, my saviour, Jesus
†

truth

I think its time to face the truth
of what I really think of you
because all your words have gone away
yet here you stay, you stay

If I really wanted to go
I would of said so
and now I need to know
if you're sorry

You Realize...

(Chorus)
Telling the truth
would of been easier then this
Telling the truth could of rid the feeling I don't want to miss
If love wasn't a future option
then why was I expecting to be yours?
I guess I was just expecting, more.

I guess I'm just hurt
and its hard to embrace it
did you tell me the truth?
or were you too scared to face it?

*chorus*

- bridge -

If I was so wrong,
then why did you feel so right
I guess I waited to long
for you to make my heart contrite

*chorus*

I'm tired, and I'm scared
for your presence not being there
yet when I walked away I never felt so alive.

No Matter What Type Of Christianity, I Will Always Love My Savior. :)

Today, I experienced somthing I thought never possible, somthing I thought I would never witness yet alone even think about. Somthing I've never been even aware of what it was until only a short while ago. This certian thing is what we call the 'Holy Ghost'. Now, for those who dont know, the Holy Ghost is when you can feel the presence of Jesus, and its so over-powering and amazing, you start speaking in tongues. Which is what I experinced last night, I experienced what it was like to want to cry laugh and break down all at the same time. Because I could feel Jesus' presence. As soon as I felt the Holy Ghost there was a sence of calmness that Ive never experienced before, Jesus has finally entered my heart in a way that Ive never felt before, I never felt so called to worship now and call on his name, his word has never been so meaningful to me and Ive felt grace that is like no other. Today, a new journey is arising in me. Today, I feel more purpose then any other day, yesterday I prayed to Jesus searching for an anwser and he gave me it. Jesus is my anwser, the only anwser and definatly the purest anwser.

For the Moments I feel faint.

The Cross
A reminder of why christ died.
Gave his life, shed his blood, forsakened his name.
If it weren't for somthing so nobel, and so brave.
The consquences we would of paid, would of been horrid.
So why do some live the way they do?
Knowing of this, yet ignoring it.
Why is Christ such a little thing to us humans?
Why do we treat the gift of salvation as if it was just a gift at christmas time you use once and throw in the corner?
Why?
