Mood: Time: 1:50 p.m. Listening to: Speechless , Avalon Okay do I did this again lol. But I think I'm a mixture of the two
So yea...I got out of bed an hour ago! I just lay there reading. I'm a werido what can I say? Last night I was chatting with a couple of people. It was interesting. It went on till 4 when I decided I needed to sleep. But I did a some mild studying. So now I'm going to study...really. Seeing as the exam is tomorrow, I don't have much choice in the matter! In other news...tonight is the night before Christmas for me and my girls in the 'Loo. It's going to be so much fun. If I never say it, I'll say it now, I love the girls I live with. We may have our differences, but they are all princesses at heart! *Thank You Jesus, You have blessed me greatly* LOL... |

Mood: Time: 6:08 a.m. Listening to: Forever and Ever, Amen - Randy Travis This has to be the ealiest I have ever updated my blog! It's a record! YAY!LOL I am determined to start studying for Hebrew today. I know it's my choice to let this get to me, but wow, my prof just REALLY gets to me. It's so bad because I honestly have missed quite a few classes this term just because of it. And to be honest, I don't even find Hebrew that hard!!! It's more of a challenge right now because I have to review and learn a bit more. Sigh. Serves me right! I feel terrible because I chose to do this for God and I let my human emotions color the whole thing, I didn't give it to God. Wow, that is such a truth admission. *breathes out* Anyway, I was watching Dr.Phil today, he's doing this thing where he and his wife are haveing a massive Christmas party for a bunch of children who have a parent in Iraq. I was crying watching it thinkign about the sadness in their hearts. They really got to me. It's a three day thing, so tomorrow and the day after are going to show it all. WATCH IT!! Ams and I had a good conversation today. We were talking about how we love our roomies, but also how easy it is to completely get lazy in how we live our faith in light of certain things that we know are not pleasing to God. Sometiems when we ignore things it doesn't really do anything. We really need to seek out God to guide our hearts and our words and actions and to show us when to do what! It occurs to me that this is a struggle we all go through. Because I'm seeing now, that it's the beginning of all the doubts and is so the devil's playground! Another thing I realized is that we are so good at forgetting that excuses are not going to make us better than anyone else. I've been making excuses for some of my actions that I know totally hurt God. But knowing that He still loves us, I let a little bit of sin into my life. I'm saying now that I am making a promise to work on it. Ams and I were talkign about how I was prayign for the gift of prophesy in addition to tongues. And I realized that I got into sloppy Christianity, I loved my God but I didn't really please Him or follow Him in the way I should. I slacked off. I stopped praying, reading my Bible...I did the perfuntory prayer before I slept because I couldn't sleep without praying. It really sucks for me to realize this. But it's the beginning of a new start for me. I have to live a life that truly Shout's His fame. As I believe should all Christians. I am going to be writing a lot of things in my Seek Him Notes page. I will let you know it comes up. I truly pray that if you don't know Him, that you will. And if you do know Him, that you will truly KNOW and live in Him. It's a lot of work, like any relationship. But boy is it worth so much more than ANY relationship you will ever have. **Jesus I desire to live, live a life that shout's Your fame... - Hillsongs Australia. If you have this song listen to it. It's awesome! On a lighter note...here's a quiz
Okay this is pretty gross
I found this pretty interesting..i have to re-read it but lool..it's probably pretty true. Actually...very. YAY GOD! Boo satan!

Mood: Time: 1:45 a.m. Listening to: Altars, Michael Tait Today was such a full day. It was a good day too. I woke up feeling a little bit better than yesterday, which is better overall. So I'm happy. Rejoice! Ness is on the mend! I watched All My Children and had the rest of the wings I couldn't finish yesterday. And then I walked around and yea finally Maki and I left to go to the mall. It was kinda COLD outside and we were looking for the Toys R Us. Sars and Shan said it was near Conestoga Mall...so we went there and walked up the road till we got to Staples and we still saw...NOTHING. Staples was literally the last place we could have gone so we decided to go in and call home. And...LOL..yea...Toys R Us is near Fairview Mall!!! Maki and I laughed so hard, but we spent a good amount of time in Staples laughing at all the crazy things we saw and also looking at computer desks and sitting in REALLY NICE swivel chairs! Then we went to Conestoga and got gifts there for a couple of the house mates..we kept seeing stuff and going..OOOH this is so cool for ********* and yea we had tons of fun! Finally we were in Zellers and we were like, I wonder what time it is. So I looked at my cell phone and it said 20:21. It was so hilarious, we both got bug eyed and were like...OKAY time to go home! Then at the cashiers I looked at the phone and it said it was 7:01. Ah fun fun. We got home just under 8! AND THEN...this is the part that capped off the night. Megs went to take a shower and then she said, Ness we need to get a hair thing for our shower cuz it's not draining properly. I said..Oki. And I continued watching T.V. But then I kept hearing this gugling sound coming from the bathrooms. I was like..sigh, Oh well. Because we heard that sound a month or so ago. Anyway, I got curious and went to our bathroom to get the brush I use to clean out the hair and I got the hair out, but the water wouldn't go down. I didn[t really think of it. After half an hour I decided I wanted to get off my lazy butt and shower. SO I went in and the water in the shower (mind you we have stand up showers) had risen! It was really really gross. There was like toilet paper and stuff coming up! I called Megs immediately. And then Sars came and saw and Maki too...then I got the brilliant idea to check out the other bathroom...and yup same problem! EEEEEEWWW!!! We went to the guys upstairs and got a plunger from them. And this other thing...sniff...he held it one way so i just copied him then he said not to hold it that way cuz the part I was touching went in the toilet! *CRIES FOREVER* I washed my hands there. Anyway we got back and HOORAY FOR SARS! She worked at the trailer park so she's the pro with the bathroom stuff! We were worried but she fixed it! haha...Megs video taped it! It was so hilarious. ANywa...after the whole ordeal Sars and I did a huge MASSIVe cleaning bleach and VIM and me..continual HOT water rinsing. So now I'm tired but now. Really wanting a shower but too grossed out to take one now. I'm gonna be bad and let Megs shower first, then I'll go! Only I think she said something about not going until we all leave for Christmas in a week! SIGH! I think I'm gonna be re-VIMming the shower tomorrow! |

Mood: Time: 12:44 a.m. Listening to: Need You Here, Hillsongs Yesterday was such a wipe out day for me. I think my cold hit me hardest yesterday and it took so much energy just to stand upright! I tried studying the night before but I just couldn't. Lol...as my quiz results showed. I started fully studying at like 12:40-ish. And I was done as much as I could handle by 2:30. I read this monograph until about 3:30 and then zoned out. But I couldn't sleep. My chest and my nose burned/hurt and I keep waking up. I missed my mommy. lol. Anyway I went to my first exam at 9 a.m. (I know such a horrible hour, AND on a Saturday too!) and after Ams leaving me (meanie!) I walked back home alone. Took some meds and went to bed and woke up to study for the second exam. That was brutal. Not the exam..but actually being aware of the time, walking there, doing the exam and walking home! WOW. I wanted my bed so badly. But recently i've been having continual conversations with God, it's really nice. Went to church today and then came home, had a couple of cookies, took some pills and went right back to bed! I woke up when Ams came to tell me that Josh came. I was a little groggy, but yay I got to see my little brother. That boy, even in the difficult times lights up my heart. Thank You Jesus for giving him to me. God showed me in the summer how I was making people I love into idols. And it's so awesome because I now can honestly say that I have God first. Anyway, he saw our fireplace. When Megs got home we ordered Swiss Chalet. It was funny, Maki asked me if I would do the ordering for her. I said okay, then Sars looked at me and said for me too? I was like, wow, that was so like Ams! And then Ams saw that I was ordering for Maki and Sars and said, Order for me! Sigh! LOL. Yea I ordered for Megs too! And the stupid lady I was talking to sounded pissed but I was being nice and then she said 'hold on' in this really annoyed voice and then next thing I know someone else was on the line and I had to re-do the process. Then we got our food, but the order for Maki and I came twice! I was like...WTH..Maki should not have to pay for it twice! (She was really nice and paid for me)And then my dad called and yelled at me for not calling him and disrespecting him by ignoring him...AARGH. Seriously! I did not turn on my cell phone so how would I know he called?!!? Sigh. That put me in a bad mood and I was really geared up so I called Swiss Chalet about the two orders..and they said oh there's a mix up and so the second order is free. YAY. I did this yesterday...I really wanted to find this anime. Apparently it's just art...sniff. So disappointed! ![]() You want a sweet guy. Who'ld take you anywhere. Like Japan!!! Wow I would like a guy like that too:) Also he looks so cute in japanese clothing:) Who's Perfect For You??? (Cute Anime Pics) brought to you by Quizilla LOL. Okay going to make some candles. |

Mood: Time: 9:21 p.m. Listening to: In Your Presence, Jeremy Camp Today has been a very weird day. It was really nice cuz I woke up to male voices (No I am not some weirdo), the point is that I got up to investigate and it was Greg and Ry. Yay, I love those guys! Lots and lots. And they got to see our newly decorated house and our beautiful new fireplace and tree. LOL. Anyways, unfortunately they were subjected to my B.O. and crappy coughing and voice as well. And Ry was still nice enough to give me a hug! After Greg left I was watching my wonderful soap All My Children lol...I LOVE RYAN AND GREENLEE. And there was a News flash...there was a school shooting in my home town, that was creepy enough, and then she said the name of my high school!!! SO not happy! I was really bothered by that. It came out that a teacher was shot in the head and the school was in lockdown for some hours. I had to come to my room and pray for the people there. It really shook me up that it was my high school. I know I'm not there anymore it's still a big shock. Mine was supposed to be the safest school in that city! Talk about a WOW moment. I'm praying fo rthe kids who were there and for the teachers. The teacher who was shot is in critical condition, I'm praying for her too. Please pray for her as well. Other than that, I'm still sick. But I had a mini-nap in the evening...it felt so good. Cuz I know I was sleeping but I was also talkign to God the whole time. It's so nice when you can feel Him holding you close. Thanks Jesus, You make my world shine brighter. I gotta get back to studying. I have two exams tomorrow I'm not ready for any one! |

Mood: Time: 3:04 a.m. Listening to: Speak for me, Jaci Velasquez The past couple of weeks have been very difficult for me. It's so much learning and heartache, but there is also the God growth that is coming from it all. I can't go to my sister's wedding, which is something I'm really trying to deal with. I kept asking God 'why?', I'm still hurting with it, but I do see that He is showing me why. *God is good all the time*. I am sick, it's really sucky. My voice is all wonky! I can't sing...oooo do I want to! It's okay though. My roomies are so very awesome. Megs made me chicken soup, I got to decorate the house today. Yes procrastination attempt, but it was something I have been wanting to do for a while! It's so Christmasy! I love it! Yay Jesus!!Also, Megs made gingerbread cookies and we decorated them. Fun Fun Fun. Something that really disappointed me, and really saddened me today was the previews on the news about gay marriage. It just really bothers me how much people want to make something they know is wrong seem okay for society. Marriage is something God created for a MAN AND a WOMAN. I'm sorry if the 'God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve' adage bothers people. But it's true! I have especially recently been brought into contact with and have friendships with people who have chosen a homosexual lifestyle. It doesn't mean I love them any less, because I don't. I hurt for the choice they have made, but I'm loving them anyway. I don't believe in gay-bashing, I don't hate them. The hate is for the sin. And I cannot point fingers because God knows I am a sinner.I just really have to stand up and say that this isn't right. If people choose to be homosexual, that is their choice. But why infringe upon my right to practice my faith? They have unions, why take marriage? Marriage is something God ordained, for man and woman. It is about procreation (yes I know, no one likes to hear that, it too is true), it is about companionship, it is about raising a family together, it is about a spiritual union, it is about being able to share yourself mind and body with one person for the rest of your life. It is not just about sex, or about making a point. And why do they expect churches to marry them? Why do they expect the Church to go against the God who is the reason we have the church in the first place? How is tolerance in any way a part of this equation? Is my faith not supposed to be tolerated if we are going to be talking about how Canada is such a tolerant society? My gay firend heard the thing in the news and said 'Yay I can get married'. I held my tongue, because I knew it wasn't the right time to say anything. All I could think was 'God I'm so sorry, this is so wrong.' It's a sad day when the government does somethign this stupid just to seem cool. It's not that I'm threatened by it, it is not right one, and it is going to hurt our society in so many ways. It really sucks because this is the society my children (when I have them) are going to grow up in. How is purity going to be something that is valued if everything is based on sex? It doesn't take a genius to figure out that this country is pushing God away. But eyes need to be opened to see that doing that is such a huge mistake. All I can say is Lord please bring revival! For Your glory. Amen. |
