YMERRY CHRISTMASY

No more bloggin

Just thought I'd let everyone know that this is probably going to be the only new post you see from me until after January 2nd. You see, I am at home on a rediculously S-L-O-W internet connection and it takes forever for the page to load...so unless I have an unusually large amount of time on my hands then I won't be posting for a while. Hope you all have a great Christmas and remember the reason for Christmas...Christ Jesus!!!

One test down! Five to go =(

Wow, I am done my worst test! It was 100 multiple choice and 12 true/false!!! Or something like that. It was no fun either way and I know my mark will be somewhere in the 70s. But that's ok because at least I'll be passing! It was my least favorite class and teacher so now everything so go a little better! I just felt like sharing the wonderful news about finishing a horrible test! I hope you all have a stupendous day!
Oh and by the way I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas ;)
turn on your speakers!!!

CPR link!

I didn't know there was a limit on the posting size...I had quite a bit more written at the bottom of my last post and it didn't show up:( Here is a slightly different and shorty version! Here is that link I said I would post about CPR. I am fully certified now! I feel quite special! And I can also do First Aid! But, I really never want to do CPR because I find all that mouth-to-mouth stuff a little disturbing and icky;). But I'm fine with doing First Aid! So you can come to me for that! Anyways, that's all I want to post for now! Hope ya'll have a great night and wonderful dreams of A Marshmellow World!

YAY!!! Picture & Link!

I hope none of you saw this when it was just a title;) I accidently hit enter instead of shift;) Anyways, here is the picture of my lovely family taken a week ago: Aren't we a lovely family? I'm not quite sure why I am all by myself in the front row...You'll have to ask Jessi, she arranged us all. But that is my lovely family that starting the Saturday I get to spend 3 weeks with! I won't have to make my own meals (I'll help with some of course), I'll get to play X-Box, watch movies, let my brain take a vacation for 3 whole weeks!!! Then, I have to come back to school and get my own meals together, make my next days lunch before I go to bed, get up super early...but I only have a total of 11 months of that left then I get to find a job and do a slightly different variation of all that. Then I will one day (hopefully) get married and have to make healthy meals and do everything for two people..ahhh the horrors of growing up!!! But then, maybe I'll marry a chef and have my work cut in half;) or maybe someone who enjoys housework...I'll just dream about that for now:-p Ok, I've gotta stop writting, I am rambling and when I do that I usually write something stupid, or embarrassing!

=( No picture

Well, I wanted to post a picture but it won't work:( I think it's because I am on a SUPER slow dial up connection at my home in the middle of nowhere;) I shall try sometime next week while I'm at my apartment with high speed internet!!! But you can use the link on the right side of this page that says "My Dear Big Sis" and look at the picture of the family that I want to post on this site!!!
Hmm...I have a CPR and First Aid course tomorrow and Sunday that I really don't want to take:( I'm looking CPR up on the internet so I know what I'm doing before I go:-p You can learn it too! Just go here - http://depts.washington.edu/learncpr/quickcpr.html -I'll change that to a little link when I am on a computer that will let me:-p Anyways, I must get going to bed...It is late and I am very tired.

Favorite Opera Song!

My favorite opera song is "Nessun Dorma" by the Italian composer Giacomo Puccini. I don't know how to set it as background music for this site. As soon as I figure it out I will!

Baby Got Book

Hey everyone! I can't believe I haven't posted this link yet! BABY GOT BOOK It's a great music video and if you want you can check out the lyrics for his other songs! Enjoy!

Where to start?

Well, I haven't posted for 13 days. I guess I can think of someting to write about. Oh! Jessi and Paul came up for the weekend and I had no clue that they were coming! I was packing in my apartment to go home for the weekend and I turned around and saw Paul. Only it took a second for me to recognize him because he has hair and a gotee now. Then I looked the other way and there was Jessi! So exciting! I didn't get to hang out with them as much as I would've liked this weekend but it was great to see them! I had to babysit on Friday night then on Saturday morning I had to go to the eye Dr. (Uncle John) to get my eyes checked. I have 20/15 vision! My eye sight is in great demand ;) Saturday night I went with Paul and Jessi to the College and Careers Bible study. It was really interesting...but I didn't take any notes so I don't remember enough to post any of it here. On Sunday afternoon I came back to the apartment after Paul and Jessi left. So here I am, with two group projects to present tomorrow and greatly lacking in the area of sleep : I should go and try to fix that problem. I hope you all are having a wonderful whatever time of day it is!

Amazing Song! I love it!!!

You breathe and life begins

You speak and my world makes sense

That's how it is when it comes to You
Your mercy has no end

You're more than just a friend

It amazes me You feel the way You do

I believe in You, and nothing less

I believe in You can't help myself

You're all the hope, the reason that I need

I believe in You just because

I don't need no one to prove Your love

For all that I have seen

It's easier for me to believe in You
You are so beautiful

You are the miracle

That dries the tears and heals the wounded hearts
And it's so clear to see

Your hand in everything

You were there for me, there to see me through
Through the fire and through the rain

I know Your love for me will never ever change

Nigeria Pictures from C'mas 2004 and Jan.13 2005

I was going through some pictures on a cd and I found some from Nigeria...I decided to post some of me and I'll try to post some later of different things in Nigeria. I am crazy busy with school this week so they might not get done until next week. I have to go to bed because I am tired:-p

The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing.

Wow! This weekend has been so cool! Yesterday was the Missionary Breakfast at Don Valley Bible Chapel. I went with my mum, because she said I might meet my husband… Well, if I have I have no idea… none of the guys there spoke to me:-p But it was really neat to hear the different missionaries speak about their work. There were Rob&Cecilia Russell from Uruguay, a team from Bridlegrove that went to Argentina, a DVD presentation of Saudi Arabia, Marjorie Beckwith from Angola, Bill&Paula Bierworth from Zambia, Fred&Jenny Kosin who travel all over and visit different missionaries, a DVD presentation of my Uncle Tom’s well drilling in Nigeria, John&Ruth Hanley from France, Mark&Gretchen Potma from Czech Republic and Richard&Marina Haverkamp from Belgium. I really enjoyed it! Mr. Kosin spoke about OM –Operation Mobilization – and now I REALLY want to go spend two years on one of the boats! Then today at Church we had missionary Sunday and Mr. Barham spoke this morning, then we listened to another report on Argentina, Catherine Premsler spoke on her time in Japan and South East Asia visiting her sister, and Mrs. Chuck spoke about her time in Jamaica. After that we went to two different “Elective Workshops” I went to the one on Papua New Guinea by Ralph and Sonja Merritt and then one by Cecelia Russell on “The Woman: ‘Crown of Creation.’ They were both really good! After that we watched the DVD on the well digging again then Nigel Barham spoke and he was really good. He brought up a good point on something I’d never thought of before. Jesus told us to “go” in the great commission but then in Acts 1:8 He said “But will you receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria and to the end of the earth.” So although God told us to “go” He also told us to wait until “…the Holy Spirit has come upon you…” I thought that was neat.I'd never really thought about it like that... I really want to go on the OM ships. I REALLY, REALLY want to go! My plan now is to finish school in 2007 then work for a year or two, so in about 2009 when I’m 23 I hope I can go on a ship. That seems so far away! But it’s only 3–31/2 years. So it’s not that bad. But I want to go for 2 years…so I’ll be 25/26 when I’m done the two years. Ahh!!!SO OLD!!! One last thing before I go do my homework. When Mr. Barham was speaking he said an old Chinese proverb that is SO true and important to remember: "The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing." NEVER lose sight of your goal. Never let go of God’s will. Keep it first and foremost in your mind and life at all times. Meditate on it and you will keep the main thing the main thing! (after the quote those are my words:-p)

Me last week!!!

I promised I would post a newer picture of myself on here...The picture on the left is the best according to me! But I decided to throw in an ugly picture of me too! Just for the heck of it. Here I am a week ago at Swiss Chalet. But now there is a difference. I personally gave myself a second earing in my left ear. I will do the right ear in a couple of weeks. If I did that now I wouldn't be able to sleep because I have to lie on one side and my ear hurts! Oh, and on the 30th I am going to get my hair all chopped off! My wonderful roommate Michelle get her hands on two $300 spa packages for $50 each and a hair cut is one of the things we get so I'm choppin'!!! Ok so I'm getting someone else to do that because I would look horrible if I actually did the choppin'.Anyways, so the picture is quite updated and I'll update again in about a month.

I Promise

I love this song...I wish I had thought it up first;)

Lord, You know my heart

And all my desires

And the secret things I'll never tell

Lord, You know them well

Though I may be young

I see and understand

That at times like sheep we go astray

And things get out of hand

So I promise to be true to You

To live my life in purity

As unto You

Waiting for the day

When I hear You say

Here is the one I have created

Just for you

Until then, O Lord

I will be content

Knowing that true love

Will come someday

It will only come from You

'Cause I have seen the suffering

That loneliness can cause

When we choose to give our love away

Without a righteous cause

So I promise to be true to You

To live my life in purity

As unto You

Waiting for the day

When I hear You say

Here is the one I have created

Just for you

Oh, I failed to notice that Jon did post a comment! Yay! I feel loved! I am tired!;)

More homework? Forget it!

I should be studying for a test tomorrow, but I'm chatting with a friend and I'd much rather do that then study! It's a relatively easy course anyways so I think I'll do fine. My mid-term mark is 95% in that class!!! At least I'm praying I know the material that's on the test...I have studied this past week for it...I'll probably get up early and study some more. Ahhh...past 11!!! I was going to go to bed early!:( Oh well, I'll just be tired again tomorrow:-p

HomeWork-will it never end?

Here I am again, more homework looming ahead of me like a big dark tunnel. Only I see no light at the end of this tunnel...I shall be lost in it, :( but then, in about two years I might finally see the end. help Help HElp HELp HELP!!!
