Well, it's getting towards the end of the week and my goodness it's been gloomy and cold. Josh and I have spent some the time watching old classic shows. It's been good. Unfortunately, the weather isn't helping my back, which I happened to strain a few days ago... mental note: Never lift with your back.... only ... ONLY... use your legs.....
Yes, so I've been working, recovering and hoping to catch a glimpse of sunshine. I hope it comes soon. Summer days just aren't summer days when it's snowing.

Thuh DooWee Desimal Sistim
Well, here I am. Tuesday morning, and I have endured and lasted through my first day at work. Learning to scan books, arrange them, stack them, send them, mail then, hold them, carry them, read them and just stare at them. Indeed I have done them all... at least to some extent. Today I'll be learning to do everything I can possibly do at the front counter. Checking out books at it were. Apparently the protocols that go along with all the wonderful work of typing is a cornicopia of information that will most likely be frustrating for me to remember... and being that I usually cannot remember what day it is, or what my name is, it becomes rather frustating.
No, I didn't always have a bad memory... lol, in fact I believe it is actually working to some extent today. But the lack of sleep in the last couple months has taken it's toll, and my brain efficiency is down 35%. Only prayer and more sleep will get that back up. So.... I tried to get to bed earlier...lol, and I never can get there until after 12am.... sigh......
On other notes, I spend the weekend in Nipawin, primarily at NBI, Nipawin's Bible Insitute. It was the grad weekend for many who had spent their time working there. At present, I have no idea whatsoever of what I'm going to do. But I know I will at least take 2 years.... perhaps 3 or 4 even. So many choices and so little life in which to explore them. So.... I wait, and ask God what he wants of me. It saves me a lot of time not having to worry.... OH, heh, I still need to finish my income tax... lol. I have my last T4 slip at a previous job... and lol, I can't leave until close to working time.... I'll leave at about 12...
Yup, so I've been doing a lot of stuff.... getting ready for China, learning some Chinese.... um, yeah! Lots of stuff. OH!! Did I mention Karina's home for a quick break?! ^_^ That's kewl. We were able to hang a lot at NBI, and lol, where I also met George... she's a friend of Karina's... and I met my Grandma twice at DQ. Good ol' Dairy Queen.
On a side note, I'm waitng for Debbie to get the pictures from our excursion to Calgary back. I'd like to see some of the crazier ones. heh. In anycase, farewell for now folks, and may you go in in the peace of God.
Xie-jin... O.o

Fork...
Ok, so there's this fork in the road. Now if you take the one way... You remain chilling with your friends, but continually growing poorer. On, the other had, you could take path number 2. You become more wealthy, but you miss you hanging with your friends, a huge amount, and then you also are unable to play guitar(your favorite thing to do) for them.
This is what I was going to say my current dilemna... however you spell that.... is. But, it isn't anymore 'cause I gave it to God. Yup. No more worrying.
Know what else was really sweet? Yesterday my buddy (Nathan) called me up from over near PACI school. Well, he wanted a ride because his car had died.... in a halfhour parking zone. I arrived to find him in a nearby Cafe, and I asked for his keys...
I went out to the car, and sure enough... it wouldn't start. It would turn on the engine problem light. Not a sound of it turning over either. But the battery wasn't dead.... the oil didn't need changing yet.... we had no idea what was wrong with it. He comes out after that and opens up th hood. It's dirty...but nothing we can see is very revealing to us. Then again, we know almost nothing about cars.
So finally after trying about 30 times, he heads off to find a buddy he knows nearby. Suddenly, it was like, oh yeah.... why don't I pray about it. So I got out of the car, walked up to the hood that was open, and put my hand on the engine.
I prayed, 'God, let yourself be glorified through this. In the name of Jesus I ask you to uncease this car and let it run. Thank you. In your son Jesus' name, Amen.' I walked over to the open window and turned the key...........
Nothing. So I did it again. and VRRROOOOOOMMMM!!!
lol.
Nathan came back, 'What did you do?!' 'I asked God to start it', I said. lol. He stood there shocked and then looked up...'Why didn't I think of that God?'
It was an interesting day. And God showed me something that I don't see very often. lol, and if I do, it is hidden from me most of the time then. There have been several stories like that.... ones with storms... moose.... bad road contitions... it's crazy how he provides. :) This is why i will not worry. Because God commands us not to. He has everything under control and in that grace and his sovereignty I can truely walk outside on monday mornings and say, this is a great day. And I don't have anything fall on me, or run me over. It's a heart attitude.
Farewell, and Xie-jin.
May God show you how richly you are blessed today.
Shalom

Trampoline. Oh much I miss thee.
Well, actually not that much.... being my back is so messed up, i'm not that frantic to return to the turbulance yet. Today was a pleasant day. Much sunshine beat down upon me today for I was wearing black... but just black... but also: (gasp) A TIE!
Yes. A tie. You have heard right. I was actually wearing......wait....................
AM actually wearing a tie. lol.... it's still on. And it has golfing themes.
I'm not even good at golf! Go figure....Yes, so I was invited by this guy named Dave out to his church by the airport. Lo and behold, upon my arrival I find a few friends of mine there. Namely Elly, Essy, and Prentis. That was kewl. What a weekend.
It's been good. i've been keeping busy and I'm hoping to go for a job at the Library tommorow..... after I buy the weedwacker for Dad.... which has to be at the early bird sale.
Yeah... oh, that's right. I finally listened to the new Jars of Clay cd. 'Redemntion Songs' and it's pretty nifty... there are a few songs that I don't like as much...but it's all done very well, and it's a good listen to be sure. Yeah..... hmmmmmmmmm.... ntohing else is really new around here. The job hunt... the health survival.... the odd way in which I tend to have my mindset. It's all good.
Anyways, everyone, please enjoy your life. And eat plenty of peanut butter and bananas. Farewell, and Xie-jin
