The L's of life.

"L #1: Learn 
- Sometimes I feel like I learn more hanging out with my friends or roommates then I do when I go to school. There is always so much to learn though and I hardly know anything. But that's okay.


L#2: Laugh
- I once got into a bit of trouble because I did something incredibly stupid and afterwards I laughed about it. I know I shouldn't have but if you need to be able to laugh at yourself. Which is a hard to do but in my opinion necessary. 


"L#3: Live
- In the words of a song 'just because you are alive doesn't mean you are living'. It actually makes sense, at least to me. It's a little late but I think this is a good resolution. Aim to actually live life.


L#4: Love
- This is the most important L. God says the greatest commandment is to LOVE. This is hard to do for everyone though. But I guess that is where 'Love is patient, love is kind' comes in right. It is hard to love everyone but with God's help it gets easier.


I'm still learning how to live but this is just some of what I know so far."

The pitter patter of big feet.

"So Kurt and dana came home today and words cannot explain how happy I was to see them. :) Not that these last two weeks have been that horrible. One of my neighbours had noticed that i was home alone and was shovelling my driveway for me. And I have discovered a respect for being alone. Being happy by your self is definitly a skill in my opinion. 
I am eagerly awaiting my tv appearance though.. and I am using that as an excuse to procrastinate on studying and writing my paper.. which I will now get back too.
Anyways night world!"

Sun, fun and bruises.

"So yesterday I went to Sun Peaks with my friend Anita. Passion was born :) I love it. We were up there by 9 and we boarded all day till last chair. It was so much fun and so B-E-A-UTIFUL! The trees at the top looked like they had been covered in whip cream and it was clear all day.
In one run we did part of a green run, part of a blue run, went through the trees, and hit a black run. It was so fun. At the end of the black run me and one of the other girls sat down to wait for the rest of the group and we were looking at the sky and the clouds looked all whispy and wonderful and they were moving so fast.

Riding up the chairlift and seeing all the wonderful landscape made me really appreciate all of God's handiwork.

This morning when I woke up I had some huge bruises on my knees :) I am a little proud."

Life.

"I was sitting at home the other day thinking and praying about just random life things. I kept thinking about all these stupid little things that were upsetting me. All I could think was why am I getting so upset? I couldn't understand why I would have the desire to have certain things in my life but they weren't there. Jelayne suggested that maybe this was Gods way of letting me know that I need to lean and depend on him for everything. How did she get so smart? ;)

So I started praying harder and I found that what I was thinking about changed. I am so blessed and I keep forgetting that. I have an amazing family that support me and encourage me no matter what, I live with two of the most amazing people that I have ever known, and my friends are super fun, amazing, and encouraging. Why can't I focus on this stuff? That has just been added to my resolutions.

On another topic, school is going really well. I am working with the Kamloops Homelessness Action Plan for my community project and on the 15th I get to be on the midday show on CFJC. I am super pumped.

And these are the shoes I just bought!!

Anyways goodnight world :)"
