3 more stinkin' weeks

Ya, you heard me. 3 more weeks and life becomes a whole lot simpler for this girl. Thank goodness too! Haha, so if you want to catch up on what I have been doing for the past two weeks, read Rebek and Ange's blogs. For now I will tell you about what I am really frustrated with. And this is not intended to hurt anyone or blame anyone, I just need to get it out there.
So this past week-end I invited someone to come home with me for Easter and he backed out...and I am finding that this is happening alot. I make plans with people and I do everything in my power to get time off work or rearrange my plans (ie. classes) and then the other party backs out or makes excuses as to why it can't happen. I am basically sick of the uneveness of effort that I put into relationships sometimes. And don't get me wrong, I love spending time with people, and looking forward tro the times when I get to see all my friend is what gets me through the drudgery of the week. And I do not mind making the effort but time and time again I see that others aren't making the same efforts (and I'm not blaming certain people because these accounts are having a synergistic effect on eachother and keeping adding up in my mind). It frustrates me and makes me feel like I am having a one sided relationship, and we both know that those don't work. I think I am reading into this stuff too much, but maybe I'm not. So there you have it.
This week-end has been a good one, and it is junky that I don't get tomorrow off and I have to leave at 6:30 tomorrow morning but such is life. I only have one more week of school left, and that is slightly amazing. What a crazy, eventful and learning year this has been. And the best part is yet to come! woot woot, well, I am off to hopefully write some verses for this darn song that I haven't had alot of time to work on....orrr play some Super Bust-A-Move...best game ever!! haha, peace out y'all and may God bless you abundantly this day!

gonna be freeee

SWEET!! I finally figured out how to post a picture on here! Haha, I am a genius! riiiiiiighto! So, after a superly crazy week last week (three midterms and a quiz and alot whole lot of workin' it up at the shack!) I went home to a much needed, nice, relaxing week-end at home. I did basically nothing and I loved it. I worked on the song a bit with my musical genius bro. It has the makings of a good song but still needs a whole lot of work...such as, possibly, some verses!! Haha, it'll come to me eventually! Ah, and I got to go to my own church and catch up with all of my friends there. One of them now has a girlfriend, and another broke up with his long time girlfriend! So, very eventful stuff! As well, three people in my church (including my pastor and his wife) are taking part in the Sea to Sea biking celebration for CRC churches. They will be away for 10 and 1/2 weeks, riding their bikes across Canada with about 250 other people from CRC churches in Canada!! How sweet is that?? If it were possible for me to do it, I would do it for sure!! What an amazing opportunity! So, if you want to pray for a successful training/trip for them,. that'd be cool!
As well, it looks like I will be doing my profession of faith (yes, I know, a long time coming) sometime before Camp starts. The reason why I hadn't done it yet is because my church split off from Zion CRC and for a very long time, we did not have a pastor. And then when we finally got one, I left for university. So, I basically got skipped over and never took the time to do it. So I will be hopefully, doing some intensive sessions with my pastor and then doing it on the same day as my bro! That would be a very neat thing!
I also had the opportunity to go to a sweet-butt concert last night! The Pat Dryburgh band (with members including Dave Forneri- they need to rename the band 'The Dave Forneri band'- he has a whole wack of fans!) played first and they did a super good job! I really liked their songs! And Pat has a very very nice voice, I could prolly listen to it all day. Then Joel G took over the stage, and my my, they are goooooooood with a capital G! their music has become alot harder (on account of new members Trev and Pauly) and it is sweet. I was just amazed at their musical abilities that God gave to them. Their ministry can sure be effective if they continue to get bigger!
After the concert, I met Trev's fiance. And that was cool, but also very hard. She is super nice and very pretty. And I can definitely tell that they love eachother very very much. I wish I wasn't so jealous of them...but they will have an awesome life together and I do truly thank God that they found eachother and that they will glorify God through their marriage.
School is slowly winding down to a halt...I had the last of my research method labs today. WOOT WOOT! And I have my first/last paper due on Thursday as well as my last midterm in Ancient Sport in Greece and Rome. Man, I am so ready for winter to be done with, so that I can finish school and work at Rekkers (make some moooolah!!) and then have potentially the best summer of my life at Camp! SO PUMPED!!! Oh, if anyone finds out who the other lifeguard is, or at least the gender, could you please let me know ASAP???? Hehe, thanks!
Oh man, almost forgot, STARFIELD ON FRIDAY!!! WHO's excited??? ME ME!! Ahhh...I love concerts! Hehehe, okay, this is getting wayyy to loooong for everyone. So I hope this finds you doing well, and I am off to getting some delicious din-din! Night folks!


THIS is pretty much the best picture I have taken.

WOOT WOOT

Okay, so alot has happened in such a short time. I went to Edmonton for a week and that was a pure treat. We had lots of laughs (maybe way too many) shopping it up and just doing crazy stuff! And we have the pictures to prove it, if you want to see 'em, just ask! Haha, AND I was hired as a lifeguard again at Camp. And I can't even begin to describe how excited I am for the summer. The staff that I have heard about are an amazing group of people, and God willing, we are going to prolly have just abotu the most awesomest summer of our lives. I hope and pray that God uses us in unimagineable ways to reach the kids/guests that He puts there this summer. And man, I want us to grow in Christ like nobody's business!!
But as much as we are all looking forward to the summer, don't forget where you are at now. enjoy your life right now, and thank God each morning that you wake up for the opportunities He will provide for you to show His love. Let Him use you now, where you are. And learn, oh learn as much as you can!! Soak it all up and glorify Him!! Excellent....I must go to bed so I can actually be awake to enjoy it. haha, night dawgs!
