The Exorcism of Emily Rose

Wow! So I went to see this movie last night with my brother. It's a very very interesting movie. Guarunteed, it is kind of freaky to see lots of it. But the fact that it's a true story kind of changes how you see it. I highly recommend it, especially for Christians. It really brings to light the battles of the spiritual realm and how they are always there. In one part of the movie, the priest was talking with his lawyer about demons, and he said to her that they exist whether or not she believes in them. I think that that is very true of everything spiritual. In regards to God and the devil and angels and demons and everything of that nature; it's so true that it all undoubtedly exists whether or not anyone believes it. It's kind of sad in a way. So many people either choose not to believe or are oblivious to the fact that there is a God who is bigger than their minds can fathom, who loves them more than any person does or could. It was definitely a very spiritual movie, as it followed the life of Emily Rose as she was posessed by demons. Things beyond our world were undeniably involved. It was really sad as I heard people throughout the crowded theater laughing at parts that were definitely no laughing matter. These people have no idea that their lives are in desperate need of a God who can save them from themselves and from the evil forces that exist all around us. It was a real eye opener for me, I guess. Emily Rose got to experience the spiritual realm in a VERY real way. I feel like maybe I haven't come to realize the reality of God in my life, the way things were real to Emily. Perhaps this is keeping my relationship with him from flourishing. What would happen if I decided to pursue the reality of God? If he was as real to me as anyone or anything else is? Maybe then, my life would be on the track it was designed for. Maybe then I will know that I am where I am supposed to be when I'm supposed to be there. Maybe then.....will I truly be in love with my creator.

Praise God for Men

Hey everyone. I think I figured out what my problem is. I think that I usually avoid writing something because I feel like I have to have something profound to say each time. But I discovered that I don't have to know what I'm gonna write ahead of time. If I just sit down and write whatever comes to me, something half decent usually comes out. So here I am. I'm just curious about something. Who all reads this anyways? Is Kristin Clark the only one I'm writing for? Ha ha. K, how 'bout if you read this post then you shoud leave a comment just so I know who all reads this. Just to satisfy my own personal curiosity. Anyways...I've been discovering lately, some things.....that I just realized might be sketchy to write depending on who reads this. But what the heck. Whatever. I mean I have nothing to lose by being transparent, right? So I discovered that when I develop any sort of an attraction to a guy that instantly my nature wants to go into flirt mode, which I try to control as best as I can. And honestly, I don't believe that flirting is all bad, as long as it is used in moderation and it doesn't become a way of life. And I'll admit that I have a small tendency to flirt a bit...I think. Ok? You caught me. I'm guilty. I especially notice this about myself in times like right now when there are specific guys that I am particularly attracted to. This tendency of mine, although small and completely not out of control, still bothers me for a couple reasons. The biggest reason is that, in my life, if ever a relationship were to start between a fellow and myself, I absolutely want it to be as a result of his pursuit for me. I truly and solidly believe that the man should be the pursuer and the female should be the pursued. So I want a relationship to begin without even a hint of my flirting being the cause of it. I can only pray that God would help me to control my actions in this department. And to all you men out there, I apologize if I flirt with you. Straight up. I'm sorry. But the truth is, I do know a lot of great quality guys who have many attractive qualities about them. So I can only thank God for creating such great men as these and that I am able to see examples of what solid men of God are all about. It's good for me to have in my life. Praise the good Lord for men!

It's a sad, sick, but fantastic world out there

Today was just a great day. It was jam packed from the moment I woke up until right now as I prepare to head to bed. Work was particularily enjoyable today, as I got to work with Ashley whom I especially enjoy working with. She always seems very interested in my life and in who I am and in what I do and things like that. Today I told her the story of the twisted circle between Ryan and Candice and Josh and I. She thoroughly enjoyed that story, and thought it was even better when Ryan walked into the store today. She is so open to hearing what I have to say and I feel like God has given me a real opportunity with her. At one point I even went into the back room and prayed for a second that God would present me with opportunities today to portray Christ to her and that he would just make her heart so susceptible to what I have to say. And God was o faithful! All afternoon we talked about things and it was so awesome. BUT.........I am kicking myself because of one point of the conversation in particular. There was something that I should have said but I kept my stupid mouth shut and lost my chance to share some important things with her about myself and what I believe. I just hope and pray that God will orchestrate it so that Ashley and I will have more shifts together and that I will be presented with many more opportunities. I just praise God for Ashley and that she is such a fantastic person and that she can appreciate me for who I am even though my lifestyle is much different than hers. God is good. All the time. Tonight I went to a wedding with Ryan. It was a really fun time. We sat at a table with some guys that Ryan knows from the fire department in Langham and their wives. It was a really really fun time. I drank probably two entire bottles of non-alcoholic spritzer. My teeth hurt a lot now. But whatever. I also learned a lot about real life tonight. Just from observing, I was able to see how these old 40 year old men were talking about getting the phone number of some girl who appeared to be about my age because she looked particularly hot this evening. Or check out girls chests as they walked by our table. It's just a reminder of what a sick world we live in and how aware I need to be of the fact that things like this happen, whether I notice it or not. Maybe this is all the more reason for me to dress with modesty and decency. So that 40 year old men will not see me as an object. If there are any guys reading this, I just encourage you to truly try and understand what it means to treat a lady with the utmost respect, because her heavenly father is a king, which makes her a princess. And that's just how every girl wants to be treated. Myself included. Sometimes you just need rude awakenings like that in order to snap you back into reality and get you back on track. Praise the Lord for my night.

The Man of Noble Character

This was the passage for Monday from my devotional book and I really really loved it so I thought I'd share it with you all.This is taken from Proverbers 31 and written as what a man of noble charater would look like in a modern day setting.

Who can find a man of noble character?
He's worth far more than Bill Gates.
His wife has full confidence in him
and has everything she needs.
He brings her good, not harm,
all the days of his life.
He selects wood and screws
and builds with eager hands.
He's like Stuttaford Van Lines
bringing furniture from afar.
He gets up while it's still dark;
heading off to work so that his children and emplouees have all they need.
He considers a new store and purchases it;
out of his earnings he buys commodities.
He sets about his work vigorously;
weighing up his options.
He sees that his trading on the stock market is profitable,
and his office lamp is on late into the night.
He types away on the computer keyboard
and clicks the mouse with his index finger.
He reaches out to the poor
and washes dishes at the men's shelter.
When winter comes he has nothing to fear
for his house is insulated and heated by an electric furnace.
He washes and waxes the car;
he dreses up in a Pierre Cardin suit.
His wife is respected at the City Hall,
where she takes her seat amont the councillors.
He runs a chain of hardware stores
supplying builders, roofers, and carpenters with a variety or products.
He's known as a man of principle and integrity;
with a sense of humour he takes each day in his stride.
He speaks with wisdom,
telling others how they can have fullness of life in Jesus Christ.
He keeps an eye on everything concerning his family,
there isn't an idle bone in his body.
His children say, "Dad's cool!"
His wife thinks he's fantastic and praises him saying:
"Many men do great things,
but you're the best of the best."
Ability to work hard diminishes, and strength ebbs away;
but the man who loves the Lord with all his heart, soul, and mind, should be praised.
Give him the reward he has earned,
and let his good works bring him praise in high places.

So beautiful!

Wow!!! What an incredible weekend that was. God is so alive and awesome! Just everything about the weekend had God dwelling right in the very center of it. What a beautiful feeling. I believe that one of the best things about God is that no matter how badly you've screwed up or how far you've run away from him, he has no second thoughts about instantly embracing you as soon as you turn your heart back towards him. He is the most forgiving and loving God imaginable. And this was clearly evident throughout this weekend. There were some moments that were so powerful, it literally made me weak inside. My favourite part of the weekend was Sunday morning. To me, that was exactly how I always imagined exactly what church should be. Worshipping the awesomeness of our God as we fellowship in love and in communion. It was such a beautiful experience. I believe that times like that are so important. As we shared with one another the love we had for each other and what we meant to one another and broke bread and celebrated, there wasn't anything that was more beautiful in that moment. Also, one of my favourite parts about it all was the way the guys broke down and layed their hearts out on the table. There are two things that I think are the most beautiful about men: the first is when they get joy out of playing with children, or when they are holding a baby in their arms; the second is when they can show their love for one another. See, it's not a huge deal for a man to show love to a woman. But when men can express their love and appreciation for each other, it is one of the most beautiful things to see. Curtis and David were a perfect example of this. Those of you who were there know what I mean. What a beautiful thing that was. I love to see the tender side of the male species. The side that doesn't always have to be telling his friends to shut up or slap his friends in the gut every time they walk by each other. I love to see what mean are really about on their deepest level. Who are they when their tough exterior is removed? It's one of life's greatest mysteries, and one of the most beautiful things to see when you get a chance to see a glimpse of this part of them. I only wish that we didn't have to wait for these glimpses. I wish that it were easier to see the deeper parts of the male species. I guess this is just their mystery. But all in all, I think that that Sunday morning service may have been one of the most profound experiences many of us who were there have ever had. So many people were so broken and full of emotion and love for one another. I believe that we need to have more times such as that to express to each other how we feel about each other and what we appreciate about one another and why we love each other. It was so beautiful. That is the best word I can think of to describe the experience. I love my God so much. He is sooo good to me and his love is so marvelous. And I love my family in Christ and the way we all fellowshipped and celebrated with each other this weekend.

I'm back!

Hey guys, I'd like to apologize for not writing for so long. I really have no excuse. Maybe I thought that no one would really notice if I didn't write anything for a while. But apparently I was wrong. Kristin Clark told me last night that I need to write in my blog because she is obsessed with reading people's blogs. That's a happy thought. To think that people really like to read what I have to say. Usually I just feel like I'm rambling about the scattered thoughts that are running through my brain. But apparent;y some people find that interesting. And I mean really, how hard can it be to come up with even just one interesting thought each day. It's really not that hard. Which goes to show that either I am really lazy and not taking the time to write these thoughts of mine down, or else, that doesn't speak very highly of my thought life. So here I am....trying to pick up where I left off. I know that in the course of a day, my brain has a lot of thoughts and ideas and things that would be worth sharing. So why don't I? I don't know. But I'm gonna start. I would just like to close the fact that I love you all. If you are reading this, that means that you are a part of my life and have had an impact on who I am and who I am becoming. And I love you for it., For real. I do! All my love!

Lack of direction can be so frustrating sometimes

Wow, there has been so much running through my head lately. And I think that through all of it, I have grasped the fact that I need to develop a lot of patience. Such a big part of me desires to find a definite direction in my life. I want to find something that I love so much that it could be a potential career for me. I just feel like I want to have something stable and strong in my life that I can lean on for security. I desire to be independant and secure. I want to get out there in the world and make it on my own. I don't want to have to depend on any other person in order for me to have a home or a job or a car or anything else. I guess I just kind of struggle with the thought of not having a direction in my life. I feel like I'm just living. Just sorta coasting along waiting for my big purpose to reveal itself. This is where patience comes in. Whether or not I discover my career anytime soon should not determine how I live my life in the meantime. I know that Jesus asks that I just continue to press into him with each day and as time goes on, he will slowly reveal to me what he wants with me. But my true purpose can never come about if I don't allow myself to be directed by God. He is the author of my life and I want his story to simply be lived out through me. I guess that this is a lot easier said than done for me. I know what I have to do to set my life straight and in line with God's great plan, but I having trouble giving my life up sometimes. I guess this is just a process that God is taking me on right now. I just ask for your prayers in this journey: for patience in waiting until I discover what God's great plan is for me; for the passion to live life to the fullest, even in my moments of uncertainty; and for the perseverance to press into God every minute of every day so that I may find myself completely consumed by him. I know that I am very useable and that God will use me as long as I allow him to. I'm real excited to see what he wants with me.

Romance.....

I am such a hopeless romantic. Anything and everything that has to do with romance, just absolutely captures my attention . I was at my friends' Mandy and Shane's wedding yesterday. It was truly a beautiful wedding. I think that one of the most beautiful parts about it was that I have never seen a bride and a groom just stand there looking at each other with such innocence and respect. THey were completely captivated by eachother. As Mandy started to walk down the aisle, we all watched as Shane gently brushed away the tears that were beginning to come from his eyes. This was his bride, and his love and admiration for her was evident to everyone. They had a foot washing celebration during the ceremony, as a reflection of the way Jesus was a servant to everyone, so they wanted to be servants to each other in their marriage. Weddings are always my favourite events to be at. I could never understand why some people don't like going to weddings. Like I said before, I am a hopeless romantic. And to me, there is nothing in this world that is more romantic, than two lives becoming one in body, mind, and spirit. What a BeAuTiFuL thing!!!! It is like the epitome of romance right there. But being at a wedding such as this one can't help but make one long for the same kind of love and intimacy that this couple is sharing with each other. I often wish that I could be at that place with another person. I feel like I have a lot that I could offer to a man and that I'm not too bad of a catch. Lol. But then again, what person does not long for the greatest intimacy they can find? I so desperately long to have, in the flesh, a picture of Christ's love for his people......his bride. No, don't get me wrong, I'm not even close to being at the point of feeling sorry for myself for not having a man yet or anything. I Realize that I am still very young and that there is plenty of time for me to come across this form of love and romance and intimacy. I am just soooooo freaking excited for when that day comes!!! But I know that I have a lot to learn before that can happen. I often think about the qualities that I desire in my future husband. And the more I realize that I want these things in him, it makes me realize that maybe he desires the same things in me. This helps me to pursue these things with the desire of becoming the woman that God had in mind when he created me, as well as the woman that some man is dreaming of finding one day. My desire for a husband is that he would chase after God with ALL of his strength. I want to walk into a room and see the love of God just radiating out of that man's being. I desire for him to pursue purity with all of his might. That he would know that I am a beautiful gift from God to him, and that the wait can be nothing but beneficial to our relationship. I desire a man who truly can see me as a treaasure to be pursued for the rest of his days. And I hope that he will never lose that vision, because I believe that every woman deserves to be treated as a queen. But I know that all of these things will have to wait for a little while. I understand that I will never be able to experience true intimacy with any man before I realize that first and foremost can all of my desires for intimacy be met in the truest, most beautiful husband of all....Jesus Christ. Only after my satisfaction is found in him, will I be ready for this picture in the flesh. I love romance. I suppose I need to keep reminding myself that God himself is the author of romance. It doesn't get any more beautiful than that.

What an adventure it could be

Ok, so I'm not sure if I'm the strange one in all this, or if no one else is affected the same way that I am, but for real, there are some movies out there that just move me a certain way. Like for example watching Coach Carter gave me this burning desire to not be afraid to make something of my self. It made me just want to get out there and be somebody and chase after big dreams. Or how The Notebook makes me want to build a house with a big beautiful yard like the one on the movie. I watched Sahara last night for the second time, and that movie gives me such a desire to get out in the world and have an adventure. Undoubtedly the characters in the movie were not living dull boring lives, but rather they were out exploring the world having one adventure after the other. Man! That would be so awesome!! Then, all of a sudden, this tiny little lightbulb seemed to come on over my head. I started to see the connection between my spiritual journey and these dreams and desires. Why don't I direct these passions at God? Do I fear that because the movies that brought about these desires in the first place were not focused on God in any way shape or form, then maybe it wouldn't work out quite the same for me? Man, what a wake up call!!! Of course it would not work out the same!!! This is God we're talking about! Anything this world can deliver, my God can surpass and completely blow out of the water. I can still have my great adventures. I can still chase after big dreams. I can still be somebody. But all these things will be greater if the ultimate goal is Jesus Christ. If my focus is directed on him rather than on the things I'm trying to attain along the way, then all these things will be given to me in their greatest measure. Only then, will I truly be able to experience the truest adventure of all.

A desire for more

Wow, what an incredible God I worship. I feel like right now, I barely know him. I feel as if I have been pushing myself away from him in an attempt to be self sufficient and self reliant. But I realize that deep down in the corners of my heart I have always known what I was missing out on by doing this. My life has been merely drifting along without a realy purpose or direction. I feel like I have been simply existing instead of truly living this life that I was placed here to live. And I'm the one who's being cut short. God wants to walk with me down this path of life. It was, after all, he who gave life to me. Why should I not allow myself to be accompanied along this journey by the very one who put breath in my nostrils? I mean, really, who knows better what steps I am meant to take each day than the one who knew all the days ordained for me before one of them even came to be? I desire more for my life than what I am experiencing. I desire God and all his glory to radiate from my life. I want others to truly see Christ in me, whether they even know him or not. I've been reading Dwayne Harms' blog. I want to try and understand who this man was and try to grasp any amount of wisdom and insight from him that I can. I hae barely even made it into the beginning of July and already this man is teaching me so much about living in a relationship with Christ. It is more than a lifestyle. It is more than a routine or schedule. It is more than warm fuzzy feelings or blessings overflowing all over the place. It is the ultimate reality that I know I have not been living in. It is sooo REAL!!! It is not a surreal figment of the imagination. There is no greater reality. I want to know it. I want to have life to the full. Beyond full. Overflowing even. I know I have to start somewhere. My sluggish attitude has to go. If this is what I want. I have to chase after it. And I will. I will begin to do so. Somehow....I'll do it.

So much excitement

Hey Team...See the colour of the text here??....ya that's about the colour that my new room is going to be! Only 3 days!!!!! Guys I'm freaking out here. It's practically torture having shared a room 19 and a half hears and knowing that in only a few days, I will no longer have to live in such conditions!!! Man....only those of you who have shared a room for your whole lives could possibly know how I must be feeling. It's a fabulous feeling. So, here I am babysitting Quin and Abby once again. After today, chances are slim that I'll be babysitting them again 'cause Clayton and Michelle have found a new sitter for the upcoming year. (tear...sniff sniff) I just love these kids like they're my own. And I LOVE that Quin can talk so well now. He says my name all the time and he talks in semi-full sentences. I just love him to death. I guess I will just have to continue to chase them around after church every Sunday, as has become the weekly tradition. I am also sooooooooooooo ridiculously excite for Melissa's wedding! Man.....I can't even stand how excited I am. It is going to be soooooooooooo much fun. And 'cause it's like the Pastor's daughter's wedding, it's going to be like the ultimate Cornerstone party. Man!!! I can't wait. . It's gonna be awesome. Just hope it warms up a bit. But I should get going now 'cause Abby's rest time is over so we have to go and watch Berenstein Bears now. Good times, good times.

So much excitement...

Hey sorry that I've taken like 5000 years to write anything. We got news from the computer shop that our computer is officially dead and unfixable so, we are now without a computer and it will be a bit until we can get a new one. But here I am trying to make a desperate attempt to write something now while I have the chance. I am currently at Clayton and Michelle's babysitting the two cutest kids in the world. I seriously love Quin and Abby like they were my own flesh and blood. They're my little goofballs. So yes, I am having a fabulous time today with them. Although I now remember how much I hate waking up at 7:00. Starting work at 12:00 or 1:00 is so much better than starting at 8:30. But today is going by pretty quickly so it's all good. So, have I mentioned that I super love my job a lot? 'Cause I really do. Never in my life did I think I would ever like working retail, but suprisingly, I enjoy it quite a bit. I just love it a lot. Although I have been having stress out moments because of my lack of direction in life. I just feel kind of lost, like I have no clue where I'm supposed to be going or what I'm supposed to be doing. I know that stressing about it won't help me any. I know that if I just keep living one day at a time, that eventually, everything will work itself. I'm getting pretty freaking excited to move!!! We get posession of our new house in one week from today and I am freaking excited! One more week of sharing a bedroom and then never again for the rest of my days! Well....until I get married of course. Lol! And I'm getting super pumped for Melissa's wedding!!! I can't even wait. It's going to be the best ever 'cause it's the pastor's daughter and it's just going to be like the hugest Cornerstone party ever!!!! It's gonna rock my world! Yay! Well, I'm gonna run 'cause I'm dying of thirst and I desperately need a drink. Love you! Later!

Happy night

Well tonight was the youth pool party. It was soooo much fun. I didn't get out of the pool for probably at least 2 hours. We ate supper and then swam for a bit and then most people went across the street to the part to play ultimate frisbee. I stayed in the pool with about 10 other people. It was good times indeed. Then slowly everyone got out of the pool and many went home and soon I was alone in the pool. It was fantastic. I just chilled there until the people from the park came back. Then Scott had this brilliant idea that everyone should jump in with their clothes on and go swimming. So pretty much everyone did. It was AwEsOmE!!! Such a blast. I just love my friends soooo very much. They are my shushine! And now I think I'm gonna go straighten up the house a bit and maybe pack my things up. Clayton and Michelle come home tomorrow so this will probably be my last entry for a little bit 'cause my computer at home is still broken. But as soon as it's fixed, you can expect to hear from me again. Well, I'm off. 'Til next time..... :)

Yay for pool parties!

Well, I am feeling very lazy right now. I've spent most of the day reading my Bible c'ause I'm trying to catch up on my behindness. So that's been good. I ate a bowl of popcorn and now I feel kinda sick. I'm super looking forward to this pool party tonight except I am still in search of a way to get there. But I'm not worried. I'm just excited for all the fun that's to be had. OH ya!! Last night my sister and I went out shopping with my mom and we bought bridesmaids dresses for the wedding. They're super cute! They're strapless with some pink flower pattern on them. I super love them a lot. And now I have a dress to wear to Melissa's wedding and Mandy's wedding too! Hurray!!! Well, I'm gonna go now 'cause I gotta get ready to go to the fun fun pool party! Lata!

My feet hurt soooo very much!!!

My feet hurt a lot! I really want a massage!! I worked today from 2:00 until 6:30. It really was pretty dead so I was a tad bored. But I just folded shirts all afternoon 'cause I really enjoy folding shirts. Work was pretty good though, all in all. I took the bus home and it always seems to take sooo long to get here by bus. And plus the bus took a slightly different route than it usually does, so I managed to get off at the wrong place and had to walk 3 blocks. Bah! But how I'm home and I'm hungry hungry hungry!! Perhaps I'll finish the kraft dinner that I had for lunch. I think I may possibly do something with Jasmine tonight. That would be fun. I think I'll give her a call right away. Well...I gotta go find some food before my stomach caves in on itself. Buh bye!

Monday, July 25, 2005

Tonight was fun. I went out for dinner and a movie with my dad. I was glad to do that 'cause my dad and I don't spend enough time together. We went to Moxie's for supper and then we went to see Sahara. Now, that was a freaking awesome movie. I super duper loved it. It was fantastic. Then afterwards, I went over to Jenna's for a fire pit. Jessica was there too. It was fun fun times. Jenna did some burning of some things and then she tried to play the guitar and us sing, but she didn't really know many songs, so it was kinda funny. Then we went inside and listened to some music and stuff for a few minutes before I left. Now I'm back here at my house to myself. Great times. I think I'm gonna go to bed right away. Hey, I have a prayer request for myself. K, I'm reading the Bible chronologically this year, and I'm about 3 weeks or so behind right now. I really want to catch up on that before the end of this week so that I can get back into regular reading and spending time with God. So if you wanted, you could pray for me that I would be able to do that. Thanks! Blessings to y'all!

I love my job!!!

Today was a fairly great day. I woke up at like 10:45 and just chilled for a bit. I read my Bible for a bit and did a lesson on biblical evangelism that I got off the internet. It was great. Then I sat at the piano and tried to play anything and everything that I could. I can't wait until Jasmine gives me piano lessons and then I can actually play stuff. Can't even wait. Then I went out rollerblading for a bit. Let me tell you, the roads and sidewalks around here are not nearly as decent as the ones in our end. SO it was a little bumpy and stuff, but it still felt good to get out and do something. Then Svend came and picked me up and took me to work. Work was great. It wasn't even that exciting, but I just love my job super much. I just really enjoy it and the time always flies by. Ya, I just love it. God has really blessed me here. I'm excited to try and get to know the girls that I work with a bit better. They all seem to be super duper nice. Then Svend came and picked me up from work and brought me back here and we ate Burger King together and watched tv. It was fun. I like chillin with Svend. We had a good time. So , now Svend went home and here I am. About to go to bed right away as soon as I finish my converstaion with Astro on msn. So....until next time.....ta ta!
