..

well i posted a long post on monday and my post seems to have disappeared, though i never actually checked to see if the post was up.

sunday my face started swelling a little, but its not too bad right now. its funny they only gave me 3 pills to stop it from swelling just enough for the first day and a half

i was so excited today, i started eating solid food again, but still cant eat anything that makes me have to open my mouth and chew really hard

yesterday our youth went to union gospel mission and had a service there for them, it was a good experience but it didn't really feel like we did anything, we just sang some songs, and rob had a short sermon

heres a plug for blood services, go give blood, its easy and painless and saves lives, and join the bone marrow registry, just think of all the people you know effected by cancer and think of how your bone marrow could help save someones life

i was going to try to write something insightful and deep about what i feel but nothings coming to me so i guess ill have to save that for next time

writing a book

yeah im feeling inspired or maybe its the t3s i just took cause i kinda feel like passing out haha
im writing about one of my latest fishing/ canoing trips which i hope i have many more to come.
i am realizing how bad i am at writing a structured sentence and feel like the system failed me a bit


in other news im really thanking god for his grace because i havent been happy about the things ive done and thought this last week and sometimes i feel ashamed that i call myself a child of god yet fall so hard
but god takes the shame away
wipes the slate clean
sometimes i feel i take everything for granted and i hope that it all doesnt fall
if these sentences dont make sense its because of the t3s haha
well ttyl

doing pretty good

im doing better than i expected
im not hurting that much or sleeping at this point
the t3's have dulled the pain nicely, though i almost puked when it was time to take all the 4 pills i had to take
and sleeping isnt very likely at this time of day at this house, thus there are many kids running around and screaming like kids do
the freezing is just about out, and im still bleeding like crazy


well im going to go eat some jello, or maybe some pudding glad that my mom is home to make me these things haha

wisdom teeth

well tomorrow is the day...
im getting all 4 wisdom teeth surgically removed
im kinda really scared, because ive been reading stuff on the internet about what can go wrong haha
they are going to put me under which im kinda looking forward to for some odd reason
i want prayer that the surgery goes well and that i recover quickly, i really dont know what to expect cause ive heard of people who were fine like a day later, and people who had to eat soft food for like 3 weeks
so if you want you can drop by sometime on the weekend and bring me a bowl of jello or a quart of ice cream that would be awesome
im thinking i might be home pretty much all weekend, taking it easy but who knows how bad it will be
ill post pictures of me looking like a chipmunk if that happens which it probably will
well ill talk to you all later, pray for me

edit* my arrival at the oral surgeons is at 10 00 and surgery at 10 30 ish i think

well its been a week since my last post

and ive been pretty busy so im welcoming this week which should be pretty slow

concerning my associate pastors son Jonah, he has a lump in his chest and even after biopsies and other tests they arent sure what it is, i know how much they were hoping that after this week of tests they would know what it was, i just pray that god would comfort them and help them not to worry too much during this time

im getting my wisdom teeth out on friday haha i hope it doesnt hurt too much

well i got to header i might post some more stuff later

prayer

first of all prayer for my associate pastors son who is 5 years old, i dont know all the details, as they dont know the details either, so i wont say anything more until everything is confirmed but just prayer for him and his family is needed

second of all, me and Breton are starting bible study at my school again we took a break because no one was coming but now feel a little guilty about not having it, so prayer that we dont get discouraged and that maybe we can reach out a little more and get some more people coming

i dont have a lot of time before i have to go to work but i want prayer that i dont get too stressed out at work especially tomorrow and Thursday and that everything goes smoothly

thanks for your prayers
your brother

crazy week ahead

well tonight i have a band competition type thing
and Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday i work
Wednesday is going to be absolutely crazy, i think im going to go insane because they are putting me on build(basically make pizzas ect) and i dont really think im ready for that because its going to be insane at boston pizza because its valentines day
friday i have youth l
saturday going icefishing during the day then to a concert in the evening
sunday will be a nice break hopefully

i need prayer for strength both mental and physical, i tend to freak out alot when alot of pressure is being put on me

now a revised plan for the next year ahead
until July just work and finish school
July work at camp
after camp get a full time job
January, February 2008 go to India with my bro, he wanted to go late summer, but i wanted to counsel at camp and didnt think id have enough money if i did that, and we found out when the monsoon season was and it was like July to October

this past week

Friday- had youth, it was really good the topic was honouring our parents and it kinda moved me on how i think about my parents a bit, realizing that people look at things i do and try to reflect that onto my parents not that i do that crazy of stuff, but older people might think that things i do are wrong and at some point thats their problem and i shouldn't worry about it but still some parts where i should be considerate

Saturday- i wish i would have gone to Missionfest but i didn't
went to jeremiahs and hung out
in the evening i went to a concert(but actually didn't) so i drive out to Selkirk because thats where the concert is and its like a 45 minute drive, so i get in Selkirk and turn on the streets im supposed to turn on according to mapquest and i cant find it i spend like a hour going up and down streets in the area and ask people for directions but i never find it, so i drive home ticked off that i couldn't find the place haha

Sunday- i had a staff meeting at Boston pizza in the morning basically telling us that we had to all work on valentines day in 3 or 4 hour shifts supposedly they made like 950 pizzas last valentines day which is absolutely crazy
then went to church
went to see stranger than fiction at the cheaps seats with jeremiah.. great movie

Monday- had no school because of the cold so slept in yay
worked in the evening.. missing one of my favorite shows prison break

Tuesday- new semester of school started.. realize that my schedule is pretty stupid
every other day my schedules changes from
band-spare-math-lunch-English-spare
band-math-spare-lunch-spare-English


there are things i am realizing
i am realizing that i am not a very disciplined person, i always put of doing stuff and just sit around doing nothing
things i need to be more disciplined on include: reading my bible everyday, praying constantly, spend alone time with god, playing my guitar, ect

thanks for your prayers and support

being sick and other fun stuff

well yesterday and today i have felt sick, i think i got the flu from my bro.. so its not very fun with the chills and the general sore body and the feeling like my brain is going to explode and on top of that i worked almost 6 hours yesterday, while feeling like complete poop

on the topic of work i am kinda pissed off because i have only been getting one shift a week though i guess i deserve to be short end of the sticked because i have been taking every Friday and Saturday off for a long time when they want you to be available on weekends. but my friend Gary started working at A&W right next door to my work, I've always wanted to work with a friend. haha but i don't know
thinking of getting a really slack job like at a movie theater or movie rental place i know ive seen signs at the cheap seats right next to my work.
but that was sort of a rant that my mind will be changed on in minutes

anyways today i was feeling a little better so me and my bro went and visited my grandma in the hospital( she got a new knee). it was nice talking to her even though we didn't have a lot of time to talk to her. she seems to be doing alright. then i got home and went out for lunch with my associate pastor that was nice, even though i was so hungry that i scarfed down my food without really even talking to him haha
thats pretty much my day
