provider

Praise the Lord! He provides!!!! =) aww man when you least expect it, God just pushes away ALL your worries aside by showing you what He can really do. Okay, so worship today was just insane. From what I got from other people, it was pretty good. But I don't know....I'm just glad it all worked out. I was soo freaked out, our first onstage worship and everything was so hectic and all. Like Kitty called me at like 4:41 telling me she doesn't have a ride and so I call justin and he's leaving to go tutoring...so i didn't konw what to do. I wanted to like cry. But I guess my mom reminded me that you just gotta work with what you have and everything and not freak out becuase that doesn't help. So during practice i was just scared, basically, of not having enough practice and what not. Then the photocopier broke, which means no overheads, which means two of the songs had no lyrics. So for amazed, i told them to reflect on the song. When it came to My God, I didn't know what to do? And I cut it. I know people got really upset with me, and I got upset too, but I guess I just didn't know what to do and I couldn't get through another song without lyrics, especially a fast song. So I was just upset i guess...then Ivan told me we could do the song in the end, so I was like...yayyy =) So u know what? EVERYTHING WORKED OUT! God PROVIDES....endlessly.

ughhh stopid day ><

ughhh such a HORRIBLE day today! mann im soo like..upset and blehhhh =( let's start with...the beginning..
Chemistry
my teacher was in a bad mood...and then i got my quiz back...and i got 70% on my knowledge =( i'm soo scared it's gonna drag my mark downn..i want a 90 for chemmmm i was getting a 91 toooo!!!! like..borderline man! *sigh..soo hoping it doesn't drop ><"

Art
art was okay...haha nothing really happened so it was okay i guess...my painting is now in the front foyer...it's so uglyyyy -_-" whyyyy would she put it there!??!? like..my painting with what people call "the big boob" hahahaha mann ken & calvin & natalie HAHA you guys are SOO mean! LMAO!

Physics
The quiz i thought i did okay...APPARENTLY NOT! we corrected it after lunch..and man oh man oh man...i got 1/2 for making connections =( if it wasn't for the bonus question, i would have gotten 0!!!! a ZERO...that's disgustingg...im scared now that my mark is gonna drop b/c of it....on the other hand...i raised to a 80 after the unit test =) yayyy haha @ least im getting an 80 for midterm...so whatever. for now...im happy....but for end of semester..i need over 85 to be happy....5% more here i comeeee

English
i was happy until stupid english!!! omgshhhh i was going to CRY! like..i literally had tears in my eyes when i got my stuff back! it's insanity!!!!!!! like...WHAT THE HECKKK so i got my nonfiction unit test and my seminar back...a freaking 75 and 76 =( it's CRAZY! which means there's gonna be a BIG FAT UGLY 70 something on my midterm! *sigh...I don't know what's happening to me. I'm starting to do so bad =( *sigh even james was upset FOR me! it's crazyyyy *sigh....i need to try harder ...
and what pisses me off even moreeee is people who KNOW they got higher than you..and they say they did so bad! like...what the heck...are you TRYING to rub it in....like...u can say you did bad...NOT in front of me! and i was already in a bad mood...and they know it too!!! and they keep bragginggg like...what the heck!!!!!! and then they tell me not to think about it....and then..THEN!! they bring it up!!!! like...ughhhhhhhh like..i was in the processs of not thinking about it..and then you go and bring it up! ughhh pissed me off soo freaking much! haha samson knows who i'm talking about...but yea...this person will remain anonymous. sometimes she jus pisses the HECK outta me!

and then...now talking about the HOPE meeting..our first HOPE meeting...the new council at school..and it turned out pretty well...like...we had people come which i thought was pretty darn cool =) so i was happy about that...and then after we had an exec meeting...and i couldn't help but feel that the intention of this council is no longer...right...moral....that our intention seemed to be going against...matt 25..the social justice council of the school. And i couldn't help but think this: we're all striving towards helping those less fortunate no? so why be against each other? Our school councils..committees...are very....political? we do it as if we have to better than other people...loosing their purpose of what they are REALLY trying to do. and we somehow got sucked into that. And then..Mr Rooney, good ol' Mr. Rooney was talking to us afterwards and he was saying how...we're thinking so politically, trying to be better than Matt 25, that this was no longer about the kids in Egypt, but about us. About us wanting to be better..and it was true..it's sad...and now realizing it...i think it truly is so much better. I was upset before...because we had some beef going on ...*sigh...but yea...i guess things are a little better =) i love having rooney as a student advisor =)

okay that's the horrible side of today...on a happier note...lunch was soo much fun! LMAO! haha the retarded gangsters and then natalie inthe garbage can...aww more nat jehh hahahah stuffed in the garbage by alton, kenny & richard hahaha aww mannn...where's the camera when u need it most...=P but yea....here are some amazing pictures from today =) i loved lunch though...thanks to kenny & calvin for making it awesomely fun =) haha i love those guys =P

goodbye friends

He loved me first...

1 John 4: 18-19
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.We love because he first loved us.

I love because He loved me first.
I forgive because He forgave me first.
I show compassion because He was compassionate to me first
I comfort others because He comforted me first
I persevere because He persevered first
I give because He gave to me first...

the greatest gift of all...

His love, His Grace, His Life.

He did it all for me...for you...for us.

I do everything...because He did it first

i was thinking about today...and realized how everything is going so well :) for the past few days being able to spend time with people, talking to people, doing good in school...I mean sure my life's got difficulties...but i reflect on my life and wonder why it is that i freak out sometimes..why i make a big deal out of the bad things when i have soo much around me that makes it so...enjoyable..so beautiful..so worth living for =) Like the people, the love, the compassion, nature, all of that..even the troubles..the ones that make up who i am..and teach me how to be better for God and for those around me. I don't know...reading my friend's blog and there was this quote that just stuck to me. It says...
"When things fall apart I don’t have to fall apart with them."

and I was thinking..wow that's so true...i mean you look at the sentence and it's like...yea htat's common sense..but how many of us actually think like that? like when things are just colliding and fallling apart in our lives..how many of us ACTUALLY think like that? Realizing that we have the choice to fall apart is a big deal...i mean realizing that it's not other things that's bringing us down but ourselves. I don't konw..not making any sense anymore...lolz..but yea... i thot it was really nice =) pretty cool stuff but yes..that is my blob for today =)

good day

ughhh

man.friday night..i was ....*sigh....I just had so much....on my mind...first worship practice then actual fellowship..the program..and my cell group. wow...i so regreted taking on so much for ONE night. like..if it was spread out..i guess i would've been okay..but it was all on one night...kinda stressful. First...worship practice didnt start till like...6:45 *sigh...and i never knew that filled with your glory was new. apparently it is...and the chords were all screwy....and then we didnt have an overhead and we were like...starting crazy late...so i started frekaing out..and everything....and *sigh....it seemed like such a long night. i felt like...i screwed up? i don't konw...i jus felt like poop at the end of the day.

anywaysss yes im not gonna like..talk about friday night...if i talked 2 you..u kno how i feel...but thanks guys for everything =) thanks cyrus for reminding me of stuff :) Just totally reminded me that i needed to pray...that we as a fellowship, as a cabinet need to pray and that all those problems we have wont go away till we go about it the right way. God gave us these problems not expecting us to fix it ourselves, but to ask for help. And i learned something today...that God isn't gonna intercede unless you ask Him to. And when you do...He has his timing. We have to get back straight with God...that excitement, that passion, that fire at the beginning of the year...cannot be gone. We just gotta pray. A friend of mine told me that we're all kinda falling right now...and we're gonna keep falling until we ask for help..When we do, God will work, and we will fly =) yes people...fly. Thanks guys for friday night =) I needed it. just to get things outta my head. and thanks for everyone i talked to : ) I love you cabbyyyy people :D

new

so i haven't really blogged about my first week of school...it's been alright...getting use to the fact that I have to wake up at 7 every morning and sleep at 11:30 every night. I missed my friends over the summer. It's cool seeing them again everyday haha and just really cool this year because less laptop courses, which means that there are more people that I've never had classes w/ before like Alton and Kenny. Soyea it's been cool, physics class has been boring, yet fun thanks go Kenny and Bev. =P ahha My teachers aren't THAT bad I guess...things are starting out okay :) So tuesday was the start of a new school year....

Yesterday was the start of a new Koinonia year. A new year to grow, love, laugh, cry, sing, pray together. A new year with new people, new counsellors, new experiences...totally and incredibly exciting! :) I was so excited for last night. So went to church at 5:30 to practice for worship...that was really cool :) new worship team too! haha it's just really cool, actually realizing that it's a new year, and I could just feel God telling me that there's gonna be change, that this year is going to be like no other. Worship practice is always fun :) so went home and ate and then came back...and that's when the night began :) seeing all these new people got me soo excited! hahaha the whole night was just purely amazing. Got to talk to some of the gr 9s and other new people or people I don't usually talk to :P haha I am totally excited for this year :) we've got so many willing and committed people serving this year and this new year...the opportunity of a new start always sheds light and hope into everything :) Let that light keep shining and let not only the level of energy increase throughout the year in Koinonia, but may we become closer, closer to each other, closer to ourselves, and closer to God.

coincidence...destiny...fate...a plan?
why now? why this year?
why not 2 years ago? or 3? why this year?
why at this place?

some things don't change

you didn't and yet you did
we both did

what ifs come to mind...
what if i never left?
would we still be friends now?

my thoughts always seem to wander back to the past...childhood emotions

is it an illusion?
or are you really who I think you are?

summer...

Before I slept last night, I was just reminiscing about my summer. My hot, amazing, busy, interesting summer. Just remember the friendships I made and the bonds broken and mended. Tomorrow is school and I cant help but ask myself where did my summer go??!??!?! But as much as there was so much more I wanted to do, I'm satisfied. I mean sure my summer had ups and downs, tears, anger and joy, but heck it was all worth it. I mean sure...tears hurt..pain hurts...but I got through it, learning to be strong and taking one day at a time, that it's okay to ask for help and that it's okay to take things slow when you're not ready. Summer...was for me a time to learn, adjust, realize, let go, laugh, and live. Looking back, I couldn't have gone through this summer w/o my amazing friends who helped me through everything. You guys know who you are. Thanks for teaching me, giving me that support when i need it, laughing with me, crying with me, being there when i call : )

Truly blessed
