Lonely
Well here I am in Three Hills and completely bored, b/c all my friends are gone! but it was so weird......b/c just as I started to cry b/c Jana and Jackie ran off somewhere and Carm is sooooooooo busy setting up for Junior/Senior banquet. Amy started talking to me on MSN! I can't tell you what a blessing that was to be reminded that even though people are hundreds of miles away, they still care enough to talk and find out how ppl are. I love my friends dearly, and can't tell you how much they've blessed me. I hope they can say the same......It's interesting how much comfort God can give you through people. It's something that I've been learning for a while now, that God's been teaching me. Not only to depend on people but on him also for comfort. Like when I had my accident in November, as soon as the nurses got me cleaned up and I had a shower, I wanted a bible. I wanted to just sit and talk to God and thank him soooooo much for my life. And Psalm 77 gave me the most comfort that night, it just struck a chord. And it's interesting that it wasn't even close to my favourite Psalm, I don't think I'd ever really read it before, and yet there were those words of comfort that helped me through that night.

Psalm 77
To the Chief Musician. To Jeduthun. A Psalm of Asaph. 1 I cried out to God with my voice— To God with my voice; And He gave ear to me. 2 In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord; My hand was stretched out in the night without ceasing; My soul refused to be comforted. 3 I remembered God, and was troubled; I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. Selah 4 You hold my eyelids open; I am so troubled that I cannot speak. 5 I have considered the days of old, The years of ancient times. 6 I call to remembrance my song in the night; I meditate within my heart, And my spirit makes diligent search. 7 Will the Lord cast off forever? And will He be favorable no more? 8 Has His mercy ceased forever? Has His promise failed forevermore? 9 Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has He in anger shut up His tender mercies? Selah 10 And I said, “This is my anguish; But I will remember the years of the right hand of the Most High.” 11 I will remember the works of the LORD; Surely I will remember Your wonders of old. 12 I will also meditate on all Your work, And talk of Your deeds. 13 Your way, O God, is in the sanctuary; Who is so great a God as our God? 14 You are the God who does wonders; You have declared Your strength among the peoples. 15 You have with Your arm redeemed Your people, The sons of Jacob and Joseph. Selah 16 The waters saw You, O God; The waters saw You, they were afraid; The depths also trembled. 17 The clouds poured out water; The skies sent out a sound; Your arrows also flashed about. 18 The voice of Your thunder was in the whirlwind; The lightnings lit up the world; The earth trembled and shook. 19 Your way was in the sea, Your path in the great waters, And Your footsteps were not known. 20 You led Your people like a flock By the hand of Moses and Aaron.
I love that Psalm now, and it's still comforting.....anyways I'd better go and find something useful to do. Love you all, here's a quote I just found that is awesome!
God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains; it is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world.C S LEWIS

Craziness
Back from another long day at school. And another day gone before prom, which is on May 26!! I have my dress, I have hair and make-up appointments booked, looking at shoes, I'm tanning and getting pretty dark. It's all good! Well, not so much. My bio teacher just got checked into the hospital last night for something serious, although they don't know what it is exactly. He is being moved to the Castor hospital tomorrow, he's in Stettler today. So yea, pretty much just had one class today, which was English. We're studying Greek mythology and are going to be reading 'Prometheus Bound' in a couple days, so that will be cool.
I'm going to Three Hills this weekend to recertify my NLS and WSI which will be fun.....did I say that on the last post? I'll have to check. But I'm staying w' Carm so that'll be a good time b/c I haven't seen her for a couple weeks! AAHHH, I haven't seen Sam for over a month now, and she's taking the course as well so at least I'll get to visit a little bit.
I've been doing a lot of thinking about my college next year. I think that a year off after the first year will be good, b/c right now I'm really getting sick of school. But I do have to take at least one year in Bible School before doing something else, that's my parents one rule about post-secondary education. I love three hills though, and can't wait to go. Anyways, though I should go(hey that rhymes!) and get some work done. Chow!

First time!
Well hello there! This is my first time trying to put a blog on the net for everyone to read, so bear with me. I've just got home from school today, which was not a bad day. We discussed the female reproductive system in Bio 30 today and dealt primarily with the menstruation cycle. It was quite interesting, and definately less uncomfortable than when we were doing the male system on Monday. Especially when Bob was making little comments that are....less than attractive. Monday was also the day when I went to choir and voice lessons, and Rhonda and I discussed the up coming festival. My musical theatre piece is about a woman who marry's men but when she 'falls out of' love with them, offs them instead of divorcing them. It's quite funny too, although Jeff thinks it's disturbing. Hey, Rhonda and I had a laugh deciding on choreography.
We just finished trying to push Barry's car out of the snow drift he decided to drive into last night. His parking spot was blown over with snow and he still thought he could pull in with a little '96 sunfire. Yea, that's what I thought. He's stuck really good and we have to wait until dad gets home from hauling wheat to pull it out. Oh well, that's the way it goes. Jeff wants the computer and I've been on here for a while, so maybe I should let him eh? Talk to ya l8er!
