a review

My last entry for this year hmm it has been awhile and I have changed even just this little while and yet when I look back on the year I’m forced to see how much good things have happened in my life involving my family and friends, but with the good there is also bad. However I have learned so much that it is hard for me to say ‘bad.’
At this time last year I was at MCBS and I was in an especially low part of my personal life and my views and understanding of God. I found it very hard to be going to a bible school and yet feel so isolated from everyone and unable to express what I was feeling because it was hard for me to understand what was going through my mind. It hasn’t disappeared to tell you the truth it’s stronger than ever but I have made up my mind and with that all the questions come I am still trying to understand and answer these but it has made me stronger especially these past 5 months just working and letting my life get completely out of control to the point where my room was a complete mess, I was a complete wreck to the point where getting out of bed was hard but I just did and put a smile on my face and continued on with it because there was nothing more for me to do. One of the best things that I have done this year was joining the youth group leader club (I don’t know what to call our conclusive club) just kidding. Yah so I was asked if I would like to help out at youth and I was unsure but I had been trying to find away to get involved in the church instead of getting into a rut and just going to church on Sundays but to see if I could slowly get back into the whole service thing. I like it, it made me appreciate my weeks at camp because it helped with youth and little did I know most of the kids went to camp this year! This year was the first year I counselled at camp this year and it was really neat I had some really cool girls and a lot of them were stronger in their faith than me but I learned a lot and still talk to some of the girls in my cabins. One thing that hasn’t changed is the pressure of questions like; what are your future plans? What school are you going to this year? And the obvious what’s your status? These questions have plagued my mind and it wasn’t until recently that I decided what I was going into for school and to tell you the truth It will most likely change by the next semester. I am excited for next year I hope to grow and appreciate my family and friends and how God is working in my life. Heck this year I’ve been the lowest I thought I could be to the point where I am starting to care about myself and no longer in the baggy clothes faze. I think that I am challenged everyday by new scenarios but I am excited to live day to day and face new challenges with an open mind and an open heart. Who knows what might happen in 2007, see you next year! And I hope to see you while I am on my personal journey, don’t be scared to stop me and put me in my place I probably am asking for it!

family ties

So I thought I’d post an upbeat post before I hit you with my reflections on the past year… I just think everyone should take time and spend time with the ones we love or even the people we have not seen in awhile. I recently had my annual Christmas gatherings with both sides (Hunter and Fraser) it was awesome I loved it!!! Here’s some pictures of my family… (fraser first 3, hunter last 1)
