A-maz-ing Weekend!

Currently listening to: Goodbye - Audio Adrenaline

"Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, my old friend. Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, we've reached the end. You know I won't forget you, you know I never could. And when I said I loved you, you know I meant for good."

I had an incredible weekend! Friday I went out for supper with Sara and Seana and we had a grand old time sitting at Kelsey's for 2 hours lol. After that was youth group which is always a lot of fun. Saturday was the BEST day of all becuase I went Christmas shopping with my mom in Pickering and then it was concert time! Audio Adreneline's last concert ever in Canada was Sat. night and there was no way I was missing that. I couldn't. So me and my sister got the gang together (being me, her, Seana, Sara, and Andrea) got a ride down (Marilyn) and had a completely incredible time! It was the best I have ever seen them. Although, that could be becuase I was very close to the stage and was never close when I've seen them before. They are an absolutley amazing band, it's so sad to know I will never see them in concert again. Good run, Audio Adrenaline! Audios, goodbye, and thank you!

I have to do an entire essay tonight... ikes. I guess I should probably get on that.

Pictures!

Audios,
Emily

An Update!

Currently listening to : Last Christmas - Hawk nelson

"Last Christmas I gave you my heart,
the very next day you gave it away.
This year to save me from tears,
I'll give it to someone special"

I don't really have much to report, I just realized that I was in dire need of an update. School is going okay, I guess. It's not the same that it used to be. But then again, it may just be me that's not the same as I used to be. So far, grade 11 is pretty much sucko. It's such a different world... and I think I'm still stuck in"Niaive world." This reminded me of a small "devotional" I guess you could say I wrote a few weeks ago:

"I had a crappy, crappy day at school today. Today I really had my eyes opened to how much the world is changing as we grow up. In kindergarten, you talk to someone for about 2 seconds and they are automatically your friend. As you get older, especially as Christians, you find it so much harder to fit in. The world is just... so different. I felt that today. From stories of everyone's weekend, to feeling excluded, today I didn't feel like I fit in anywhere. As I was walking home, this song came on, on my ipod. It gave me shivers. It's called "This Could be the Song that will Change your Heart" and it's by Kids in the Way.

There's a burning in my heart everyday
I come to you, I look to you and say
When will I become everything that you've intended me to be
I'm beating at my chest everyday
I run to you, I come to you and say
When will I become everything that you've intended me to be

I am so tired, I am so beaten
From walking down the road of shattered dreams
I am so lonely I am so broken
Won't you come, won't you rescue me
I am so tired, I am so tired, I am so tired, I am so tired
[I'll be the light inside of you and won't let go of you]
Come rescure me, won't you come, won't you come
I'm calling out your name

It's times like these that we need to realize that we are different. There is going to be those times when we feel left out, but we need to use these oppertunities to shine for Jesus. When you are already in the spotlight, why not take advantage of these situations and spread God's love? We ARE different, and we are going to act differently then the world around us. We need to not got sucked into the world around us, but keep on being that shining light. Continue to be the one that stands out and doesn't conform. We are put in these situations for a reason. and we need to utisize them to the greatest extent. Don't be ashamed to shine for Jesus!"

The world changes as we grow up, it's not something we can change, but it is something we can help.

Gilmore Girls is on tonight! And Veroncia Mars!

Lataz, Emily

It's begining to look a lot like....

Currently listening to : Safety in the Darkness - Kids in the Way

"The smoke is in the air, choking out the sun
It's rising in the air, I can't see
And I will find you there, somewhere in the dark
Buried in a place between dead and broken hearts
There's safety in the darkness, there's safty in the dark"

Christmas! It begining to look a LOT like Christmas, my favourite time of the year. We put up our christmas decorations yesterday (yes, we put them up the begining of November). I looooove Christmas, everything about it. The sights, smells, tastes, feels, everything!! It's all just sooo good. Today I started Christmas shopping with my sister, and tonight I'm going over to her place to watch Christmas with the Kranks. She also has her decorations up and she baked all day the past few days, so there will be lots of christmas treats! Plus, the snow has made us very happy (like last night I spent a good 20 minutes catching snowflakes with Seana, Sara, Vanessa, Andrea and Hannah.) Only 51 days until the BIG day ;) (which means only 26 days until my birthday) .

So I had no English class or Law class on Thursday or Friday. It's going to be wired having all four classes again on Monday, haha. The time of cancelled classes is pretty much over now. Fall sports have ended, and I am fairly sure none of my teachers do winter sports. Sad. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. I guess it's time to get started on the mountainous (spelling?) piles of law I have to do before monday.

Later,
Emily.
