So, life

So, I started this blog a few days ago, and I must say, I really enjoy righting. Wether it's about me or not, I really love to right. I could do it for hours. Well I don't know how interesting it is to some of you(if any) lol but if you don't want to read it noones forceing you to. Anyways..

Well, im incredibly board right now. I haven't really done much today. Sat in the sun, Showered, watched some TV, chatted it up on MSN,read some of the Bible, took my dog for a walk, ate some wendeys lol. Not to much of an exciting day I know. But sometimes it's just good to take a day off from all the excitement, and just rest and reflect on life, think about things. Especaily with school n such coming up. Im gonna need all the rest and reflection I can possibly get in the next 5 days to prepare me for the up comeing school year. It's going to be alot of hard work, and dedication to my school work(which I usualy don't have much of), and alot less "haveing fun" and socializing. But I guess it all pay's off in the end, when I have a good career & family(hopefuly) and im all setteled in. Then I can go back to enjoying life lol. Not that I don't now, but it will be alot less stressful when I have life figured out. Although, I really believe noone ever fully has life figured out. Let's face it, if we did, and new everything that was going to happen and everything you were going to do before you did it, life would be to easy..and we all know, life is anything but easy. Life can be good(great even), you can make your life less difficult then it has to be, with God's help you can overcome all the opsticals life throws at you, but even while you overcome these opsicals, it's never easy. Life is always a challange. But it's up to you to choose if what kind of life you want, when you've overcome your last opstical. Think about it, what kind of life do you want? An eternal one maby? Thats what I choose :) Anyways, thats another end to the thoughts of myself.

Early Mourning

Last Years Oreintation "2005"



Well today I had to get up at like 9 for an Orentation at 10. Which was really stupid caz it was for about 10 minits, we got a T-Shirt, n that was pretty well all we did. Them Hannah Alex & I just chilled uptown fer like an hour, So I deffinitly could of stayed in bed. I realized today I am So not ready for school, I got sick just thinking about taking the bus every mourning, then I got sick again when I was actuly in the school, lol and the fact of wakeing up ealier sucks. I did it for a week at camp, but atleast I like camp, I hate school. Oh well, lol I guess I'll have to get over it. Anyways, on a better note, I was talking to the most amazing guy the other day. He's pretty awesome, it's nice to have a guy friend to talk to about stuff because most of the guys I know are like "whats up" and thats about it. Anyways, god's been pretty good to me so far, its pretty sweet, lifes really good the past couple of months (minus the concusion and all the pain iv been in lol) anyways, its really nice out today, like plus 25­ and sunny, which is a switch. Anyways, enough about pointless stuff
Have a good day!

Heaven

Okay, so this has been bothering me for a few days now. I heard someone say, I think if your a good person in general and your nice to everyone you get into Heaven, you dont need to believe in God and go to church to get into heaven.
For everyone who believes this, can I just ask you something? Why would you want to go to Heaven if you dont believe in god? Heaven is God, they gateway to Heaven is Jesus. God is the reasoning for Heaven, he created a place so that those who serve him could be rewarded in the end. Why on earth would you want to go to a place that was created by someone you don't believe even exsist? It's like saying you want to go to disney world, but you don't believe Walt Disney was ever born. Then who else's ideas created such a place? (thats not the best compairison, because nothign can be compairs to God & Heaven) But seriousely? People wait their whole lives to meet the Lord face to face, they dont just go to heaven for a good time?

I dont no, Thats just me. But seriously, if someone would like to explain that to me, please feel free to.

I miss it so much/Ew School

So, it's day 3 since iv been home from camp. And the closer school seems to get, the more I seem to miss Camp. It's just finaly starting to hit me that summers over. It's going to be a really tough year, and I hate it already. I have oreientation tomaro which means schools just around the corner! The only good part about it is you get to see everyone. I love my school to death it's really awesome, but the work part, sucks! And the fact that I have really hard courses so I actuly have to go this year. Jeeze, life is so much easier at camp. This totaly sucks. And because of my concusion I miss out on playing soccer. And I already can't play rugby again lol. Jayyz, sorrie i will stop complainning.

Recap Summer




(This is a very hot picture of Me & Kelsey in my pool lol)











Well, the summers come and gone, and I can deffinitly feel fall in the air. Summer is my favorite time of year. It's a time of rest,reflection, and fun. So, Let's have a quick recap of my summer.
Well fer starters, I passed grade 10 with honnors which was awesome. To start the summer off, Me Alex Hannah & Kelsey all went on a cruise up the SJ river on a yatch which was so much fun! Then kelseys Pitt Party/tent out for her B-Day was a good time. (Wasn't drinking) . Then for a while the weather sucked. I by the way had a concusion all summer so it wasn't it's most eventful season this year lol, but it was still fun. I quit my job at BK(which was the best day of my life). Um, my Family went away for 2 whole weeks to Europe so I had the house to myself, which was kinda fun but hard at the same time, im not use to having to do alot of stuff for myself, so that was interesting. Well, Adams "party" was a hilariouse goodtime (I didn't drink btw). Marks BBQ.Geoff's Bonfire was a good time. Alex Marr's party was good until it turned into a huge drama fest(once again, wasn't drinking). New River Beach Sand Sculptures with Alex Hannah & Mary were fun,& the rapids with Tim&Jeremy. Um, I also went to Portland Maine with my parents for a couple nights, where we shoped till we were about 400$ over our limit to get across the border lol. But that was kinda cool to spend some time with my parents caz I don't usualy get to do that,or atleast, I just never do. After that came my birthday, tent-out at Crystal Beach with the girls, which I thought was really fun! Sweet 16, gotta love it. After that I believe was Mark's Pitt Party, which would be the last party I attend.

See, until yesterday I thought that, If i was a christian, It was okay for me to attend parties as long as I didnt drink. But I was informed that, that isnt the case. And i was given a bible verse by someone that really opened my eyes. In that verse it said, what do good and evil have in common? why should you be amoung those who do evil things, if you are trying to set an example for those people, you should be far from sin. You see, God had to be so far from sin, that he sent his son Jesus to this earth so that he could heal and preech to the wickedness.
And I was told that, If I am amoung those who sin, It is just as bad as if I were doing it myself. Which I really never realized until that person told me that. And at camp medley I heard the whole, God had to be so far from sin, he sent his son Jesus to this earth.

Then after this, was Camp Medley. The long waited week of my summer. I had been counting down in my msn name for [37days] to go to camp. It's really what I look forward to every year. I love the Chapel. it is my favorite part of camp. It's so peaceful and everything is so real. You can really open up & admit where you went wrong and learn how to get back on track. The ministry is awesome there, it's not the bouring stuff you hear at most churches, it's exactly what teenagers need to hear and wake them up. It's awesome I love it. Well, theres exactly 1 more week left of summer, then it's back to STM I come, grade 11, how scary, half way done highschool and that much closer to the rest of my life. Hopefuly I have a good year, and meet some new people. Oh, next week Kelsey and I (maby others) are going to Sussex for the balloon festival and staying with our friend Emily from camp! So were pretty excited about that. And also, We might get tattoo's in a couple weeks, im kinda scared so i dunno lol, but we really feel like we should get them because there religious tatts and they truely have meaning. Any ways, thats pretty well my summer in a nut-shell, not to exciting I know.

(Im listening to the christian radio station, and a song just came on, and it just said " im sorrie lord for the thing iv made it, caz it's all about you jesus" , it's actuly one of my favorite songs, because I believe that this happens to alot of people, they get caught up in their lives, and they begin to live for themselevs, and they start to forget that its not about us, it's about god our savior. Hes the reason we are here, and our purpose in life is to serve him not ourselves(which alot of people do). Anyways, sorrie that just came on and I thougth id rite about it. I find music is the key to our soul, and when you really listen to the lyrics, you uncover a whole new meaning to life.
Have a great night!

*Camp Medley Sr.Teen '06* //†//


Well hello everyone. This is my first post in this so bare with me. I have a number of other blogs n such but I like this kind the best so I decided to make one.

Anyways , enough about that, back to the topic.So I just got back from my 14th week of Camp Medley (since iv been growing up)the other day. I must say it's one of the most amazing place's iv ever been. It's not only fun and social but it really changes lives. I no from experience, it's a great feeling. Now this week was rather interesting, as you get older, and you attend camp it seems to get "harder". I can't really explain it, but it's like, you understand more they say each year, and you realize you need to like, change your lifestyles and stuff, and its not so hard to ignore it. Anyways back to the point, the first few days of camp the past few years is always hard tryin to adapt to everything. So ofcourse like always there was a little bit on conflict, which was really just a huge miss understanding, but in the end it was all good, and by Wednesday I was havein a blast! My councilers were really awesome girls too (Jessie.C&Jessie.J) ,even if they dont know it, I believe they made some difference in some girls lives, & also my own. Medley's Hut was an awesome cabin and I met some pretty cool girls there, although I went with half of them and new them long before camp lol. Also, Krissy & Marie-Helene came up and I got to visit with them which was awesome because there also amazing peoeple and have both helped me through so much over the past year or 2.Anyways, Another summer's come and gone, another camp medley await comes to an end, now I can only wait for my LIT e-mail in spring! Yay:)
