God...
I am amazed by His beauty that surrounds me and that is coming out in me. He is always showing me that He loves me. I need to be more intentional in showing Him that I love Him. What is my priority in life? I say that it is God, but is that how I live? In some aspects, yes, but there are other areas that I need to give Him. I know in my head and through experience that life is meaningless without God. The following Scripture and song point this out quite clearly:
"You do not want to leave too, do you?" Jesus asked the Twelve. Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We believe and know that you are the Holy One of God." (John 6:67-69)
Where could I go without You? Far, far away I would fall apart. Who could I be without You? Why even try without You? I'll hold on to You. I'll hold on to You. I'll hold on to You, sweet, sweet Jesus..."
These are so simple, yet there is unbelievable truth in them. How is your relationship with God going?

I feel so blessed by how my life is going right now. Actually, from what I remember, the last 4 months have been picture perfect. Yesterday was a continuation of this. After work I went home and helped my roommate a little with supper, then I went to watch Alias with some great people. After Alias I got to enjoy a really good birthday supper with a few very dear friends. I got a really cute teddybear with an "I love Eston, Saskatchewan" pin on it. Another good friend phoned and we shared in good conversation. I miss her so much! After visiting with a couple friends, I went for a walk with another friend. We went for ice cream, then walked a larger Eston lap, looked at the stars (I finally got to see the little dipper!!!) and talked, then headed home.
This morning (with the exception of postponing getting out of bed), has also been good. I got a decent stack of work done and we had class pictures, which I don't think could have gone any better. (A limited number of you will understand this).
I am looking forward to having the opportunity to sleep in tomorrow. Whether or not my body will use this opportunity is in question (as it rebelled on Thursday morning by being wide awake at 4:20am!).
If you have not checked out the FGBC blog or Unfolded Alumni (ua), I encourage you to click on the links on the side of my page and check them out.
And just as an update...we are continually seeing God boldly at work in our chapel services! If you want to know more, ask those of us who are here.

Today is a great day! It truly is wonderful! It is a new beginning. The slate is swept clean. Ah! How fitting! A card just arrived with a picture of a girl who has butterfly wings. She is kneeling in the centre of a flower and she has stars coming from her hands. Today is my 26th birthday and I greatly look forward to the growth and changes that are before me.

HAHAHAHAHAHA...
I don't know the original source of this, but...
European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility.
As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5 year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English".
In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy.
The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter.
There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesom "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like fotograph 20% shorter.
In the third year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage when more komplikated changes are possible.
Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always been a deterrent to akurate speling.
Also, al wil agre that the horible mes of the silent "e" in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.
By the fourth year people will be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v".
During ze fifz year, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords containing "ou" and after ze fifz year, ve wil hav a reil sensibl riten styl.
Zer vil be no more trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.
Und efter ze fifz yer, ve wil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas.
If zis mad yu smil, pleas pas on to oza pepl.

there is a reason for everything...i often question what those reasons are, and rarely get an answer, at least not before i actually ask someone, but today i got an answer today before i even got the chance to ask the question...sorry about talking in "code".
i am excited about my class this semester. i've never really been keen on learning about history, but since i've come to fgbi/c i have gained a greater appreciation for it, as i have begun to learn the importance of history.
i totally forgot i had left the computer and msn and blogger on all night! i hope this computer has speakers, but i have a feeling i will be disappointed.
i am missing out on a large part of the community of this school that i have loved even before i was a student here. i am aching to spend time with people. i need to make some new arrangements.

For those of you not at the school...yes, I AM still alive! I have been so consumed with work since I got here that I have not had much time for my own computer and phone stuff. I was feeling completely overwhelmed on Friday and Saturday, but once Sunday hit, I was much more at peace about my internship. And I double-checked some things with Danielle today and am continuing to enjoy this peace about the amount of time I have, while still knowing I face many challenges within this internship. I believe the most difficult part of my internship project will be the first things I have to work on, so once that's done I will be doing stuff that I know I love and that I know I can do.
I love this keyboard! The school got some new DELL computers and while I don't have one of those computers, I do have the keyboard and monitor from one. It's beautiful! It just feels so right under my fingertips.
I am excited that I now realize that I will not have to keep working so much overtime. It's supposed to be a part time internship, but in 14 days I had worked over 100 hours! But things are already slowing down a little, allowing me to have time to have a life.
