God's Glory Revealed!
Oh man, tonight I walked home from Henri's house and it was snowing, just light and fluffy and it was so beautiful. It was mild enough that I wasnt cold at all and the street lights gave everything a beauiful soft glow. It was so amazing to see the beauty of God's creation and to be totally emmerced (sp?) in it and to be reminded of how God created each and every snow flake and they are all unique and beautiful, and that He created humans in the same way........all of us are unique and beautiful and each of us has a specific purpose and "God doesnt make junk". Each person that I have ever met is different from every other person and each is so beautiful and truly amazing. God never ceases to amaze me. i was so happy to re-connect with Him. I couldnt help but yell out to God (quite loudly) in the middle of the street and just thank Him for all that He's done and all that He's made! THANK YOU LORD GOD!!!!!!!! God bless you all and have a great night! Love 'n such!

Church
hey yo! well today (sunday) I went to Parkview United Church to see Henri preach. He did a good job. I was sitting with Sue and Henri's parents and they had the family stand up and Sue made me stand up with them so ppl thought I was one of their daughters! one person even said me and Henri have the same smile! LOL it was funny! We decided they were either seeing Jesus in our smiles or it has something to do with being in St. Pauls for a time (my 'rents were living there when I was born and they used to own the store there) and this one guy comes up to me and says 'oh you've grown so much since the last time I saw you' thinking I was Jessica (their oldest) LOL it was funny. AND I wrote an article for the YFC newsletter and didnt think much more about it, but it was at the church today and Henri decided to mention that I had written the article and that it was available after church! it was insane! anyway, its Joes 13th bday today so i wont be at yg tonight, I'll see you all again sometime I'm sure! bye!

PIE
Hey everyone! Tonight was a rollercoaster! The play was quite bad (well, reuben, will, and andy were great and there was some funny stabbing but otherwise it was terrible) but of course it was written by Woody Allen. so yeah. Anyway, then Jo, Tee and Kendra picked me up and we had lots and lots of fun! PIES! The snow hill, Dave bite me....so I licked him! then there were two ppl undoing my bra and two ppl doing it up again! it was kinda weird.....and another offering to show the first two how its done (he was a soldier) anyway, for some reason i've been really down the past coupla days.....I'm really stressed and confused and need to be renewed mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. (i renewed physically at the Y today)......As for my OLD boat, I've currently got one foot in the boat, and I want to get back in, but I need to stay out so thats causing me stress. On the plus side, on sunday i'm going to Parkview to see Henri preach....and on monday i'm going to beryl's house (where i'm staying for that month) so thats cool. Anyway I really just want to sleep away my problems right now so I"m going to bed now. Love 'n such!

6 o'clock News
Hey all! I"m here in the lovely Stratford Ontario bringing you the latest news. Tonights featured story is about a small town girl struggling to make her way through the soap opera that her life has become. She faces many trials and times of sadness, but for this young lady, there is always a silver lining. We have covered many stories on her, and there have been many trials and tribulations in this young life. Copies of previous broadcasts are available on the left hand side of your screen and are marked "Archives". Tonights story will begin on Sunday. On a regular sunday morning, Shelley heads off (late as usual) to Faith Bible Church where she attends for regular worship services. In kids church, the children decorated gingerbread cookies for the House Of Blessing and made a royal mess. But it was all good because the children learned that serving others can be a great deal of fun. The afternoon was spent with two tired people watching the classic disney movie, The Little Mermaid. Promptly at 7:05pm, Shelley arrived at youth group where she and the only other female in attendance, Leah Meidinger, decided to skip out at the halfway-bathroom break to go for coffee. While Shelley had been in a terrible mood, she found Leah to be encouraging and loving and her spirits were lifted. A late night phone call of laughing porpotions also helped to put her in a great mindset to continue the week. Early monday morning, at 10:30am, Shelley was to meet with Beryl about housesitting.....but unfortunately that was postponed until next monday due to an emergancy call from another lady from the church. Campus life saw another large turn out for another enstallment of "Quest" and our subject was introduced to a few new people. Hopefully there will be more developments to come from that! The evening was spent in a relaxed manner in front of the television, resulting in an early bed time of only 12am! Tuesday morning was another early day, with a wake up time of 6:15am and hair styling until 7:35am. A skipped first period allowed for a great deal of running around and a decision of NO DICE for one of the competitors for her affections. Our condolences to him and a toast to the last remaining competitor, Good luck to you sir! Finally it was time for grad photo's to be taken and they should be beautiful. These are due in about a week's time so more on that to come. At 3:30pm, Shelley had her GO! meeting where they discussed a plethera of subjects and she has come to some interesting realizations about herself. One is about limits.....the question was: what does the box around your life look like? Her responce: "a clock....my limits are time, I need to realize that there are only 24 hours in a day and that I do need to use some of those hours for sleep!" Another was that she is afraid that if she were to 'step out of her boat' she risks being hurt, physically and/or emotionally and it is fear that keeps her in it. This meeting was followed with yet another meeting with Cuda to discuss roles for KingstonBound 2003. We will be reporting on the results of this at a later date. While there, she recieved much encouragement from Cuda and had a chance to catch up with an old friend. As the evening draws to a close, we can find her curling up with a good book and praying for all the people in her life. If there are any requests please send them via email or as a guestbook entry! Thats all for tonight, we shall be returning to you when there is more to report. Until then, God Bless Everyone! Luv 'n such! (btw, i resurrected that phrase and suddenly everyone is using it again! crazy, so i'm changing mine)

friday night
hey, I archived again! go me! yeah so its friday night and I"m bored (to the extreme) I cant find anyone 'cept Jo but neither of us has transportation! I was out with greg and gump but they had to get back home so now i'm bored and tired and such so yeah........I met with Pastor Kevin today for GO! and learned some cool stuff about Jonah so that was fun...........and I finally figured out what my boat is! You'll never guess it! 100 zillion points to the person who does! (and if I told you it then you cant guess) so yeah, that was cool.........if you're looking for the walking on water entry its in Archives 11.......enjoy! Also, I'm sorry for the entry from v-day........it was totally uncalled for and untrue. I dont hate linda, I was just angry with the whole situation and I'm much much better now.......I'll be ok and I hope they have fun with whatever. Besides, she's not a bad person, just looking for someone to love her (even if she says shes just trying to get laid) and happened to pick a guy that i'd have liked her not to pick. BUT its not really about me now is it so good luck and I hope everyone finds happiness! Luv 'n such

I've always wanted to be there, I've always wanted to help you. You wouldn't let me when I wanted to. So I gave up, figuring that I cant help if you dont want me to. Then suddenly you come to me for help. Suddenly I am the only one you can rely on. I didn't know what to do, except to keep loving you. It made life hard, it seems so cruel that when I can you wont, when I cant you will. I'm afraid to want to help you because you might decide you dont need it anymore, and then where am I? Back to square one, thats where. When you didn't need me I was a rock, when you did I was but a pebble. Last time you needed me I was on quicksand, this time I'm on a rock, this time I am a rock and this time I can help. This time I will.
