My Week Off

Hey dudes and dudettes,

unlike most of my college friends, this next week will be a week of relaxation! yes, it's true, i won't be at cpc this fall, except for the modular classes! instead, i'll be continuing my wonderful internship here at WGC. things are just cra-zazy around here. we're twinning our services in two weeks, we just had a youth staff meeting, and school starts for our kidlets next week! AHH!

so i get a nice week of holidays to forget about my troubles. I'm going to Brett's tonight to watch some Rockstar: Supernova, where I'll be cheering my heart out for Ryan and Magni. Good times, i swear! Then I'm headed to my sister's house on thursday/friday to see the kiddies and of course, the main event, my sister. Who knows, maybe I'll see matt and the gang too if i'm lucky! Then the weekend i'm sure will be exciting, and i'll probably head to the dwelling place on sunday to see my old church friends whom i haven't seen since may. then, back to winnipeg for tuesday evening's PREMEIRE OF HOUSE!!!!!! (we're having a house party... get it?)

so yeah. things have been a little stressful around here. i was a little down on sunday, and my dearest mommy away from home called me on monday just to let me know that she loves me and that she was thinking about me and praying for me! how encouraging! i also spent an awesome night in worship again at the link yesterday, which was just so nice to be able to worship without having to worry about my responsibility. i could come and go as i pleased, and i was just refreshed by the word and stuff.

anyway..... not a whole lot else to say. have fun at school, suckers!

oh, and matt, sheldon and brett, you still owe me a survey!

Missing My Old Friends

*Disclaimer: this is an emo post*

Wow

summer is almost over.
My internship is almost half over.

I went to Sobey's before I came to the church today for spinach dip, and it reminded me of Nicole.
I received an email from my dear friend Jana today, and it caused me to miss her.
I saw Rebecca last week at a wedding, and the very short time that we had to have a deep conversation made me realize that I miss her.
Brett was in for a few days this week, and hanging out with him makes me miss him more when he's not here.

I saw Andew Plett as well (aka, uncle clarence), and he commented that i looked more grown up. little may he realize, but it almost made me a little sad. I miss those times where rebecca and i got away with pranking his house because we were the 'rowdy youth'. i miss staying up until four in the morning and having to be at work in a couple of hours....

but growing up does have its advantages. i don't really feel like listing them right now though...


But I went to the Willow Creek Summit this week, and it caused me to ask myself questions...
like why i want to be in ministry... do i really believe that there is no higher calling? do i believe that Jesus can use me to minister to the world around me? do i really believe that there is a difference between hoping for revival and inviting my neighbor to church?

what would be the difference between living an ok life and the one God has called me to?
would it be so bad to have an average existence? would the white picket fence ever be satisfying?

blah... don't worry, this isn't a meltdown. i know that God has called me, I know exactly what I am doing. But sometimes i just have to pinch myself to make sure it's all real.

My Weekend

well, brett, you can come out of hiding.... my sister has gone back to weyburn :(

we had a blast shopping, but now my feet are killing me after 3 solid days of shopping!

we hit osborne, the forks and polo park hard!

in other news, my car was broken into... just the change and an old wallet in my console were missing though, so i'm thankful!

hmmm... not much else. vbs is finally finished, prase the lord! we had a great time with the kids though! vbs is a big thing to pull off though!

anyway, i'm at work, so i best be doing that instead of this!
