.:♥:. Every Season .:♥:.

So I have a channel on youtube and have recently decided to actually upload videos. I really want to inspire people to further pursuit Christ, and get people excited and motivated.

Well anyways I made this video and posted it, the song is Every Season by Nicole Nordeman and it talks about how you can see God in every season and his creation.



God Bless!

.:♥:. What God has been doing the past year .:♥:.

As promised here is the speech from Sunday *Note the picture below was NOT taken by me :) *

So tonight I am here to talk to you a little about what God has been doing in my life this past year. To begin I am a former student from Banting Secondary School. During my 4 1/2 years a lot happened during my last year and a half that tested my faith in many ways. Sometime in March of 2009, I learned that a classmate of mine had just been diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor. I had known this girl since kindergarten, and had been friends through elementary school, we still talked to each other during high school, but we weren't that close. I only visited her once during illness, and that was in May, the very day she was transferred to Parkwood hospital. Seeing her lying in the bed looking so frail and sick really scared me. A month passed and on June 14th I prayed to God that night, but instead of just praying I wrote it in my prayer journal. I prayed that God would end her suffering according to his will whether it meant a miraculous healing, or calling her into heaven. The next morning at school during first period, it was announced that she had passed away in the early hours of the morning. I had never thought that the first funeral I went to would be that of a classmate. During that week at school, a bunch of her friends congregated in the vocal music room to sit, comfort each other, and just cry. Two days after her death, we decided we wanted a change of atmosphere, so we marched of the music room, two people grabbing their guitars, and we lined the walls of the hallway and spent the day singing. I will never forget the feeling of that day were we all sang together, God worked through the tragedy to bring all of us together to celebrate the life of a departed friend. That was probably one of the hardest times I've been through, but God was there through it all. I graduated Banting in November 2009 and am now working full time at kidscape- an indoor playground for kids. God literally provided this job right when I needed it most. After two years of unsuccessful job searching I finally decided to turn things over to God. I was hired at kidscape a week before my final exams were finished. Being a christian isn't always easy, and there are times when I feel separated from God, but it's through these times that you have to keep going, run the race, live the faith, and trust that God will always provide for all your needs. A bible verse that has been a great comfort to me is Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all you heart and lean not on your own understanding but in all ways acknowledge him and he will direct your paths. I now leave you with the lyrics to one of my favourite songs, "Be strong in the Lord and never give up hope, you're gonna do great things, God's got his hands on you so don't live life in fear, forgive and forget but don't forget why you're here." Thank you.

.:♥:.The Comeback?.:♥:.

It's been a while!
So a lot has been happening, I now work from Monday-Friday full days, which is really fatiguing but since the good weather is settling in, customers are slowing down. So today I got my first party training session where I helped host a birthday party, of 20 kids, it was wild!

So I didn't end up getting my G2 but that's okay as I'm trying again next month.

This week I got a message from my youth pastor asking me to speak on Sunday night at some annual meeting our church has, it's just a short testimony about what God has been doing in my life this past year. I may put it up after Sunday.

Alright so even though I work a lot, I still get to enjoy the nice weather once in a while and leave time for my favourite pastime, reading. Right now I'm just finishing up a series called Oracles of Fire, which is connected to the series Dragons in Our Midst, both by Bryan Davis. They can be found at the Upper Room Bookstore, or ordered online, I really recommend them, as I can't put them down, they are an excellent read. I can't wait till the lavender starts blossoming, the smell of lavender is amazing and I love to read right underneath the branches filled with lavender blossoms, mmmmm.

Speaking of flowers, here are some pictures I took in my backyard, I even edited one that I love!
