my day from my point of view

Well, from an ordinary person's point of view my day may have been long and boring, but I managed to make it quite interesting. This morning I got up around ten (yes I know I slept in). I then went to go do some errends. First stop, Winkler Bible Camp to get some forms for spring and summer staff. I made it there fine but what I didn't know was that they closed the one road I ussually took to get to the office. I started to take but the realized it wasn't clear. "Well I guess I should turn around" were my thoughts.... too late! I was stuck on a patch of ice. So after talking to Mark I had to explain to him what that white car was doing way over there and ask for a push out. I could just hear God upstairs laughing away at me, hahaha. Then to Winkler to pick up some things and back to Morden to pay rent and phone bill. When I went in to pay my phone a middle aged man called me a beautiful young girl. Maybe I should have be offended or turned off, but I couldn't help but agree with him. Maybe I'm a little concieted, but hey who isn't. Today work was long and boring, but I have an imagination, so it was too bad. I came up with a great invention that I think everyone can use. I don't have a name for it so we'll call it The greatest invention ever!!! Well, here it is. It's a little computer chip that you can stick in the roof of your mouth and it transfers to your brain and records your thoughts. when you'er done thinking you just pull the chip out of your ear and stick it in the computer. Then you are free to edit away. Think of how handy this could be for students. Instead of spending three hours proccessing their thoughts and typing them up, they can just think them on the way home from school or in their sleep and potentially have an essay or paper ready in half an hour. Genius? I think so.
well as one of the Van trop family singers put it, "the sun has gone to bed and so must I.
G'night

Locked out again!

Yesterday morning I locked myself out of my apartment again. I think that was the third time already. I was going to go do some stuff in Winkler, but when I closed the door I realized that my keys were still inside, and like most cars, my car will not go anywhere without it's key. I knew my roomate would be home in about an hour, so I had two options; option A: wait in the entrance till she got back, and option B: go for a walk to waste time. I chose option B, unfortunately I wasn't dressed very warm and it was kind of cold. I made my way to Giant Tiger and, what do ya know, touques are on clearance sale! My ears were cold so I bought one. Now I have an extra touque and it's quite nice. I walked around some more and then ventured home. It was quite the adventure and again I'm telling myself that I really shoud make an extra key just in case. Will I actually get around to doing that? Who knows?
that's all

What I made for supper today!

For supper today I made some thai peanut chicken. It was a new recipe that I had found and boy was it ever good. I figured I'd post the recipe, cuz I know sometimes it's hard to know what to make for meals and this is something this is tasty, quick and easy to make.

Thai peanut Chicken

1lb boneless chicken breasts, sliced
1/4 catalina dressing, divided
1+1/2 cups water
1 10 fl oz/284 ml chicken broth
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp peanut butter
225 g uncooked spaghetti
2 cups broccoli florets
1 cup thin carrot slices

Heat 2 tbsp of catalina dressing in a large fry pan on med heat. Add Chicken and stir for 5 min or until chicken is cooked through.
Add remaining 2 tbsp of dressing, water, chicken broth, soy sauce, and peanut butter. Bring to a boil. Add spaghetti, cove. Reduce heat to med-low, simmer 5 min.
Stir in broccoli and carrots; cover. Simmer 4 to 6 min or until spaghetti is tender.

How do I feel?

How do I feel? Right now I feel overwhelmed. I feel like I have to live up to everybodies standerds of who they think I shoud be. And I don't even know who they want me to be. I have dream, but I'm scared to pursue it. What if I fail? Who's gonna catch me if I fall? Trying to figure out life is hard. Knowing that God loves me and will catch me no matter what is easy to know, but to believe it when I haven't had parents who have exemplified these qualities in their lives is hard. It's hard to trust God when nothing seems to go right, when you feel like you're failing life. Still I press on hoping, trusting that God will catch me everytime. Please pray for me that I will be able to pursue dreams and take risks. Life is hard, but God is good.

Drifter

I was driving in my car a few weeks ago and I came across this song by DecembeRadio

Drifter

I used to have a home.
A place I started from.
A place to call my own
bright lights and late nights.
The devil took me on a midnight ride.
Left me out in the desert on my own.
Now I feel alone
I need a hand to help me find my way back home.

I'm a drifter out on a dead end road
trying to find my way back home to get to you
Oh to get to you
Lord I've been gone for far too long,
headed to places I don't belong
and I've got to get back home to you.

Sometimes I think about the past
and the road that I was on,
the one that lead me home
I'll walk on another day
I may wander but I'll never stray,
cause I found out the hard way
sin don't pay.
Now I feel alone,
I need a hand
to help me find my way back home

I'm a drifter out on a dead end road
trying to find my way back home to get to you
Oh to get to you
Lord I've been gone for far too long
headed to places I don't belong
and I've got to get back home to you

and when I feel the night is closing in
and I can barely breathe the air
I just remember that
I've got a friend who really cares
Oh who really cares

I'm a drifter out on a dead end road
trying to find my way back home to get to you
Oh to get to you
Lord I've been gone for far too long
headed to places I don't belong
and I've got to get back home to you

This song really spoke to me. I guess lately I feel like I've been drifting away, allowing bitterness and to take over not listening to hear God's still small whisper that I am loved and he has a plan for me. I want to go back to school in fall. Getting there seems scary. I've never really had a chance to really pursue a dream with out settling for second best. Staying where I am is easy, comfortable, but I can't live like this. God calls us to live boldly, have adventures and be brave. Amidst all this fear and turmoil, I need to remember that keep pursuing Jesus and trying to find my way back home to him.
