BACK!
HELLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I"M BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh man! what an awsome trip! exactly what I needed! THe crap from the last entry is all worked out for now! The plane was cool, I had fun! we had all sorts of antics......like driving the wrong way down a one way street....saw the Golden Boy, ate in a revolving restaurant.....I got the BEST evil eye in the world! That woman was good at it!........it is so flat there, the sky is so big@ I love it! I'm feeling clauster phobic here! you cant see far enough! ah well, I"ll be back there in the fall cause I GOT ACCEPTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh yeah! it was absoltly amazing! call me and set up a time to hang out so you can hear all about it!

always some good
Hey well there is some real crap in my life right now (i'm not really talking about it right now) so prayers for patience and wisdom would be excellent right now! also for safety as me and dad head out for Winnipeg tomorrow! I think it will be a very good time and I hope my dad learns from it! so I'll see you all again next week! have a good weekend!

Confrontation isnt such a bad thing!
Yeah so this morning (on my spares) I was talking to Tim L and all strings are broken, we are no longer yoked which is definately good, its a good feeling! and ended up deciding to confront Linda about some issues and that ended up ok, I'm sure we havent cleared up everything but it was a step in the right direction! (there's still that little matter of us actively being on opposing sides of a major spiritual battle but thats not going to be resolved easily).....also today was a snow day at school, but not many people knew that so we ended up at school anyway! In my society class there were 13 out of 30 (28 to be exact), and 8 out of 18 in Geo so that was fun, we watched a movie about who creates whats 'cool', youth or media.....its the mass media all the way! and geo was just working on stuff! anyway I leave for Winnipeg on Thursday and I'll be back on Monday so call me before that if you wanna say bye! I Love You All! have a good week!

Baptized!
Ok so tonight was so amazing!!!!!!! it was the worship part of ONE and the speaker was so good! At the end he said 'this water will not stay in the bottle' and eventually I ended up standing up and having Tim D baptize me!!!!!!! it was so amazing, I was crying and couldnt stand and it was amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then other people did too (but I"ll let them tell you who they are!) anyway I"m really really really really happy right now, and tired, and still wet so I"m gonna go change!!!! See you all tomorrow hopefully!

broken hearted
the title says it all, I dont understand why my heart is breaking, it really shouldn't be, there is no reason for it at all, but it is! I know some of you are gonna tell me that God can put it back together again and I believe that with all my (broken) heart, but right now it feels like........all the kings horses and all the kings men couldn't put Shelley back together again..........good night

Decisions
Well folks the decisions have been made! I'm not telling anyone (except the one who needs to know) about one of them but the rest of you can know about my other decision! I've been trying to decide whether to drop out of school or not (cause I've got the diploma) but I've decided to just drop Law and Finite and continue on with my other four courses b/c the college I want to get into says I need to either have FIVE oac's or do an extra year at college (cause its actually university level and I"ll have a BA when I come out) and I already have english so this should free up day 2 mornings for hmwk so I can work every night! so thats what I"m doing! :D

Decisions and Snow Days
Hello! Well today is a snow day as you all obviously know already! and its also the fasting day of ONE I'm not really hungry, but then I discovered we have popcorn. Some of you know about the decision I"m trying to make right now and just to let you know this snow day is kinda swaying my decision cause it seems like an answer to my prayer last night but dont worry I havent decided for sure yet, I'm still thinking! Anyway, I'll let you all know whats up with that when the time comes, in the meantime please be praying! Have a good day folks!

Tim's back
Well Tim is back and I think our little surprise went fairly well! if only more people had been able to come and play, ah well, cranium was fun and so was running around outside! So yeah, welcome back Tim! see the rest of you on friday

Coffee
well Al and Lise and i went out for coffee and Al and I got everything straightened out. we've agreed to disagree! its all good again! today's school was absolute torture, I was not happy about being there so I wasn't really talking to most people meh. We did the promo for Quest today at campus life and people look interested so hopefully it will get a good turn out! definately worth seeing! BTW thanx to those who have already responded to my email, those who havent PLEASE do so immediately! if I dont hear from you tonight I will be tracking you down tomorrow!!!!!! anyway ttys!

Jump and Good Sex
hey! well today (sunday) I was asked to teach Jump (jr. high group at church) and it went really well I think and I really enjoyed it, I'm positive that youth ministry is what I"m supposed to be doing with my life (not that I wasnt sure before but now I"m dead set on it) it was cool and I"m teaching it again next sunday (both without any other teachers and about 15 kids)! also tonight was the beginning of "Good Sex", we talked about sexuality and homosexuality. 'Its agreed, genes have nothing to do with it' 'I'd rather have a mangled penis' 'we didnt come from monkeys cause if we did there wouldn't be any homosexules!' lol oh that was a funny night! and no fighting! aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh school starts again tomorrow (I have yet to open my backpack) and there is no fod for lunches and I dont want to go back! this is torture! aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh on the bright side I"m that much closer to Winnipeg and march break and may (Pitch), and june (finished high school forever) so yeah. The book finally came in at church (YAY) so i"m excited to read that! but anyway I should go now.........oh tee, you left the container in my car, its here and I"ll wash it and bring it! Jo, I"ll see you on wed! Melis, see you tuesday! and the rest of you, see you when I can! HEY, we should do something to welcome tim home! call me if you have any ideas and we can set something up! but do it soon cause he gets back on tuesday! well, i shall see you all later! much love!

Never mind then!
yeah, so that date for tonight was cancelled......he wasn't able to get the night off work so yeah. this is the second time this has happened and I'm thinking that its not just an annoying work schedule. It's in truth an answer to my prayers (not the one I was hoping for but the best one for me) it is clear that when I prayed 'guide me in this' God said ok, dont do it! then I went ahead and tried to do it anyway and it would seem that me doing this is going to be REALLY bad since I dont appear to be allowed to do this!(cause usually I"m allowed to do it even if I"m not supposed to) so yeah, I"m reconsidering and I"m gonna be spending tonight with God I think. Well folks, have a great night, maybe I"ll talk to some of you!

New years message
Hey all! I'm just home from babysitting, bery cute kids! and despite my recent hook up I spend new years eve with a cat named sam! ah well, I made $70 and have some regular work now so hopefully I wont be a complete pov case anymore! Ok, so I got an email from Tim today and I have some stuff to pass on............he went to san diego zoo, much fun, there are pics.....he got to see the Charger's final game (football) of the season, apparently it was a BLAST!.....on sunday he is watching a Lakers game.......Thursday will most likely be a trip to Tijuana.....Disneyland is going to be a trip at some point but they arent sure what day yet......aparently tonight (new years) is going to be fun, but he doubts he'll remember it come morning so I dont know what exactly he's doing but I can guess!...........AND he sends a message about when he comes home so read carefully: "And people --- I'll get home late on the 7th, and with the time change will sleep in --- but please get in touch with me anytime after about 1 p.m. on the 8th (i guess you have school... but after that is good too!!) I miss my gang!" so there you have it ladies and gentlemen (do any guys read this?) the latest in california! Have a good night, and I"ll see some of you on Thursday!

lonely no more!
hey guys, know how I was feeling lonely yesterday? well thats been taken care of..........i'm no longer single and yeah! I'm excited (right TEE???) and yeah, we talked for 7 hours last night, from 11pm to 6am and hooked up around 5am so yeah. AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH I already emailed Tim about it cause I want him to know from me so please dont mention it for a couple days if you're in touch with him!

lonely
Hello, well today was one where I sat at home and wallowed in my own feelings. I'm really feeling lonely right now but just physically (does that make any sense) in other words its not for lack of company (cause I got people online, on the phone, and God, its more that I miss having someone to hold on to, to hug, etc. but tomorrow is New years and I'm gonna have fun, I was just endulging my emotions today, tomorrow they will be packed away! Melis I cant wait! I"m excited! have a good night guys and an even better night tomorrow!

The end IS coming!
k, sorry bout the double entry's but I just got struck with inspiration! I just finished a book called 'Left Behind' and its about what happens to the world after Christ Raptures His Church and it really made me think about what IS going to happen, both to us and to the ones left behind! Recently I had a discussion with someone(s) and I know that at very least Tee was involved after we watched that movie (deep impact) and we talked about what we would do if we knew we had only a year left to live. I said that if I knew that I would leave everyone here (unless my family wasn't converted yet) and go out for that whole year and make as many disciples as I could! and Tee had agreed with that! but that was all just a bunch of what if........but guys we DO KNOW that Christ is coming and we DO KNOW that this is going to happen but we dont know WHEN. For all we know it could be in 30 seconds or in 30 years! and what about the individual people....people die all the time and often unexpectedly. We need to GET OUT THERE! GO and make disciples as if Christ was going to return tomorrow! because WE DO KNOW that the end of the world IS coming! There is so much to do and we dont know if we have enough time! so I'm encouraging you, pack your bags (figuratively) and GO FOR IT! we're fishing for people here and we know God will provide! Right now I plan on touring Stratford and getting as many people as I can in the next year and then I"m gonna go! I might even go for a long long walk around the country and get as many as I can because its NOT a WHAT IF, its a FACT! GO GO GO! These people NEED us to talk to them! If you aren't passionate about getting people read a couple things........1) Revelations and 2) Left Behind and you will be! Good luck and GO FOR THEM!

Speaking
Hello everyone! I'm running on exactly 4 1/2 hours of sleep from last night! (I would have slept in but I was speaking at church today so I had to go). So talking at church today with Laura! We actually did really good I think! However when I told them about what I wanted to do in 2003 (the marriage campaign) they laughed! and then during the rest of the service people would just mention it and joke a bit so I was kinda like oops! and Laura was like you're never gonna live that one down! but then after the service a couple ladies came up to me and were like 'its awsome that you want to do so much and dont lose that drive, good luck' Evelyn Stam said they'd be praying that something would happen. However I"m not getting so much support from the home front! oh well. The other speakers were great too and even tho church didnt end till 11:40 I thoroughly enjoyed it (my mom didnt cause she was tired and stiff by the end). Anyway I had a great time and I"m wide awake now! So maybe I"ll see some of you later today! (remember I'm not going to youth group tonight so dont even ask!) Luv yas!

Gift Certificate!
well I used my gift certificate from Melis today at the carpenter shop! I got a FIF cd (very good) a book and a bookmark.........the bookmark says 'I asked Jesus how much He loved me, "This much" He replied and spread his arms and died for me' I got teary eyed when I saw that! Anyway, THANK YOU MELIS! Last night was so fun, but you can all read about it in other pitas! Laura and I are almost ready to speak at church tomorrow so it should actually be pretty good (better than my reading) so yeah, for those of you who will be there, enjoy, for those who wont, sorry! Have a good night, I'm off to the movies eventually!

Family
Hey! well boxing day was the christmas for my mom's side.....usually I dont like it cause there are only two girls and the other one is 8 years older than me so there isn't much for me to do! However, now the boys are bringing home girlfriends! Kev has Marcy (she's part of the family now, they've been going out for 5 years), Pat has Barb (they're married common law and are the parents of Zach) and Darryl brought a new girl! Her name is Jane and me and barb dont much care for her but thats ok (she's got a HUGE set) so yeah, it ended up being fun and I got to hang out with Zach (he's 1 & 1/2)! I'll be sending a pic out if you're interested! Today was our magical mystery tour! We went tube slidding! much fun! the group should do that sometime! anyway now we're gonna have food and movies so I"m gonna go! see ya's later!

Fixed!
Ok, ignore that entry! They turned the crap movie off and instead we watched this new version of 'a Christmas Carol' with some crazy stuff, it was cool! So for Christmas gifts I got a book thats pretty much the entire ancient civ course (very very cool), really soft, smooth thermal underware, cotton socks to go under my new wool socks, a calender with cars :) a really cool santa decoration, two cd's...pink and shania twain (both very good) and my tickets to Winnipeg as well as my parents offering to pay part of my share! AH I"m so excited! Things are so awsome! God works in great and amazing ways and I love Him so much! THANK YOU LORD! anyway, I'm just waiting for lunch then we're heading over to uncle Davids for Dad's side of Christmas and tomorrow we're off to Mom's side at Grandma and Grandpas! Friday is our magical mystery tour so I'll tell ya's all about that later! MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone!

Thanx so much
So yeah, normally on Christmas eve we eat some snacks and watch the Grinch.....this year my family said flat out NO to the Grinch (which really really upset me) but I got over it and was willing to try another movie....but did they include me in that choice? oh no, they went ahead and picked one themselves. Fine, I'll live, not the end of the world. So then we're getting ready to watch it and I find out the movie is over 5 hours long! WHY would you want to watch a movie thats 5 hours long??? THEN I discover that its a HORROR movie! a) I HATE horror movies and b) ITS CHRISTMAS! You do not watch a 5 hour horror on CHRISTMAS! So they're all sitting in there watching this stupid movie and I'm sitting here at the computer trying to figure out what I"m going to do for the rest of the evening and where my family got the idea to do this. ARGAAAAAALDFJAWRLJSGHLIS I'm so frustrated with them and with myself for my lovely mess of the scripture reading tonight. I'm going to go do some really hardcore reading now. Goodnight to all of you and have a merry Christmas!

Christmas!
HELLO! Last night was so awsome and amazing! I had so much fun and I haven't laughed like that since..........since tee pulled the lever and the chair came THIS close to her face! LOL Thank you so much for my gifts guys, they are the best gifts I think I"ve ever gotten! This season is so amazing for me! It's my first Christmas with God and I'm really excited that I get to celebrate His birth! I'm in such a good mood, tonight I read at the chruch so that's exciting, I'm afraid that I"m gonna mess up or something but it's all good! BTW Jo, I never answered your thing.....my 'statement' regarding God is 'PRAY' and my other statements is 'This Is MY Island' so there ya go! K, I gotta go get ready like NOW so I"ll see most of you tonight! Have a very very merry Christmas and remember to put God first at all times tonight and tomorrow and everyother day of the year! I LOVE YOU ALL!

Living!
hello my dear pita friends! I am alive and (almost) well from my little bout with the flu! (you cant get rid of me that easily) I'm greatly enjoying my warm school sweather (very very comfy). I think I"m staying in today for the afternoon, but I shall see some of you tonight at yg! btw I met James last night (cause we had to get a pita), i must say, he's quite hot! lol but he's all Tees! I'll wait till I move to Winnipeg (if i get accepted) to find someone cause there aren't many here for me! ah well for now I"m enjoying the single life (and I think I"m gonna go to prom with out a date and yes Jo thats how I want it, no set ups!) Anyway I'm out for now! see you tonight/tomorrow/next year/etc. Merry Christmas!

Life
Hey all! If you didnt see the message from Tim please please go to 'archives 9' and check it out, I dont want to be responsible for anyone not seeing it! So last night I ended up out with the flu so I slept all day today, and I"m about to go back to bed now (at 9pm). I'll come to set up at the Real Joe, but I wont be staying cause I'll end up with a massive headache! So I'll talk to everyone later! Merry Christmas (that's Christmas with a Christ)

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.
