Wedneaoyeusday!!

Ya know what, i have no exciting updates about my life that i can share... soo sorry..



Oh but i learned about JOINTS today in biology... no not the ones you smoke although that would be cool to learn about... the kind of joints on your body... kinda funny looking things



Goodbye yon fiends!!!

Yay for Epiphysis!!!

Alright so Friday.... left around 5 ish... on the way i was really thinking about floor hockey and how i was missing three weeks in a row which really sucks...had some supper in Hope (triple Oh's... yummy) anyways... i watched a movie on the way...meanwhile i was kinda nervous about the rest of the weekend...Got to langley late... were staying at the Bartels.. (the head of Baptist churches in bc...) they have a cute house probly worth over 600,000 but it's tiny... they have a massive projector room which is wierd cuz they are not the movie/entertainment type

...Anyways... went to bed at 10... woke up at 9:30 had some breakfast... then me, mom, and lanny... went for a nice long walk... about an hour... it was soo beautiful all the trees and greeny things hehe.... we totally got lost on all the wierd streets...After that... came back and watched 3 hockey games WOW the canucks game was insane after that went to bed at 10 again but didn't get to sleep in for aslong because of church

.alright soo we go for a car ride takes about 25 minutes to get there... CHURCH!!!!!!! the big moment... not really...Alright so the church. The parking lot is a little bit smaller then valleyview's... the church building is older but stylish .
We are greated by alot of people very friendly warm atmosphere.. looks like a pretty formal church old people in suits... young people formally dressed...The songs were older.. couple hymns ... but full band...
The sermon... was about the path to heaven... how some people think there is more then one way to heaven...and there isn't (meh... went alright)Um.. so overall accesment of the service... alright... nothing stuck out nothing surprised me...
Then afterwards they had a coffee time... went and met some people... kinda awkwardmet the youth... then went and helped them move some tables to this storage room thingyMet with all the head honchos...
After we went to the pastor's families house for supper... they have a 15 year old guy still living with them and a couple others older out of the house.We played some Halo with his friend.... then i got invited to his small group bible study... kinda wierd aswell

Anyways there were 6 people there and it was led by a couple who didn't even go to there church... but we talked from this book called Enjoy the silence... which was good..

after that we played some Star Wars Triviul Pursuit... and hung out...

Back to the van and the long journey home which i slept for most of it listening to some quieter bands...

The bathrooms were disgusting by the toll booth... ewwwwwwGot home and slept... YAY!!!!!!!

Soo... the chances of our family probly moving their ...1 in ....it's actually almost up to me cuz they want to be close to a college and everything for me... well it's ultimately up to God... soo... I feel like they need us there but there is always that pulling in your heart away from such things... soo still not sure

The pastor their is just itching for my Dad to put in his resume... my parents are excited for new things i am excited for new things but sad for the ending of old....


I have said enough....


Work tommorow 9-4:30 then walk to McDonalds.... (just kidding... haha)

FUN


Goodnight!!!


Oh right today i learned about Epiphysis and Diaphysis and Red and Yellow bone Marrow... in Bioligy my favourite....

Home

Glad to be home to my own bed... very tired... confused... excited... longing... but i will make it...

More to come tommorow...


(maybe... full day of school and work 2-7 maybe have time)



-Josh-

Off to langley

Please be praying for our family as we visit this church... and brave the Coquahala...

Music

Soo lately i have been thinking how depressing the music we listen to is... maybe not all of you but most of us listen to really depressing lyrics... why?
Is it that we love to hear about heartbreak and... hurting ourselves on purpose.... or is it "the only music I like" ... that's one of the lamest things i have ever heard... just because we like something doesn't mean we do it... in this case... just because we like the music doesn't mean we have to put ourselves through those lyrics... they hurt and sooner or later, no matter how much you may think you won't... but you'll start expressing and doing the things you hear... soo please BE CAREFULL friends... i like you how you are now... you don't need to be depressed to get my attention and friendly loving... :D

We may like candy... and it's not that bad for you but over time it destroys your teathe.

On the other hand, i was listening to a band i hadn't listened to in a while called Needtobreathe... and i realized that their newest album has some amazing uplifting songs... i just want to share one with you...

Nothing Left To Loose

When my dreams are over
And my feet hit the floor
Is my will enough to move on
When we fight to get back
The love that we’ve lost
Will my hands be enough to push on
Tell me will I have enough to go on

Cause we are alive
We are strong
We can’t watch it go for nothing
Watch until it’s gone
And we are down
But we can choose
We’ve got nothing else to live for
Nothing left to lose

Love is just like a war we can’t win
We can give, we can give, we can give
When we stand in the face of the world falling down
In your hands you hold the pen
What’s your answer for the end

Cause we are alive
We are strong
We can’t watch it go for nothing
Watch until it’s gone
And we are down
But we can choose
We’ve got nothing else to live for
Nothing left to lose

Oh, Oh, I’ve got nothing left
Nothing left to lose
Oh, Oh, I’ve got nothing left
Nothing left to lose
When there’s nothing that we can’t afford to sacrifice
There’s no way they can put out your fire
There’s no way they can put out my fire

-------------------------------------------------------

I love the last two lines of the song.


Now i have to admit i have listened to some depressing songs but i am moving on and cleaning up my music act.... that's a challenge

Tuesday

Well... today was one of the more boring days...

I ate every meal today which was good... this medicine is helping a lot...
I did some school...

Tommorow will be even better i am going to wake up early and get lots done...

then i have bible study... which will probly be interesting


And for some reason i am not feeling very close to friends right now... don't know why?
I just feel like conversations are shallow and have no point except to find out how their day went and is going... bleh... that's not how i want to know my friends... I just wish they would talk and talk cuz all i want to do is listen and help... i don't want to judge or be judged.... i love listening and no amount of talking is too much....


Goodnight!

Monday

SICKNESS.... BLEH!!!!!

went to the doctor... i have a respiritory infection... and he put me on some drugs.... probly be UNsick in a couple days...

Holy Smokes i bought a MASSIVE pack of cadbury mini eggs today.. My favourite... so yummy

Tommorow i will attempt to do some school... don't know how that will work though...

Sunday

K so church was ok...

Went skating at 2:30 ish... was dumb... ice and the sun were good but... my lungs have weakend by like 50% because of this cold so i didn't last very long...

Thought i was getting better this morning... but as the day went by i got worse and worse and now tonight i feel worse then ever... probly going to the doctor tommorow...

Coulters came over tonight... it was ok.. besides feeling lousy... did some stuff... had some food.
Pretty good.


welll...ya... i do not feel good so goodnight...


-Josh-

Runny noses and clean bathrooms

Soo.. today i got up at 8 o'clock expecting to babysit lanny... not knowing he wouldn't get up until 10... o well.. took a shower... read the paper... watched the morning news... had some tea.

After that i was in an amazing mood... i cleaned all three bathrooms in our house spotless... did all the dishes... took out the garbage... listened to music... then lazed around quite bored for a few hours...

Went to Tim's house at 3... went to the sand pits for a walk... it's was really refreshing to get outside after 4 sick days... we pushed some rocks down... and then ran across some private property... hehe...

Still pretty sick... and it still sucks...


Tommorow... Church... maybe... then laze around maybe take a nap... then Coulters are coming over for supper... should be fun....

Not much of a post.... i will leave to go to bed now :D


-Josh-

Soo.. sometimes this is how I feel, specially being sick, never wanting to get out of my bed...

I feel that us as christians we can be the same way, we hide under the covers of our "christianity" never wanting to come out of the warmth.
I mean, it's a challenge for everyone but take this. I got these from the Webster's dictionary.

Christian: one who professes belief in the teachings of Jesus Christ

Profess: to declare or admit openly or freely


I love to help people...

but even if i do... why the heck is it soo darn hard to DECLARE the AMAZING news of Jesus Christ to people in Canada.
There are soo many people here that are probly going to hell(hopefully not) but it seems, to me, like they don't need help finding the answers... most have money... homes... food... libraries... computers...bibles... they have the opportunities to find the answers/"meaning" to life...but they reject them or don't even think about them...
whereas, people in third/fourth/fifth world countries barely have any of these... specially not bibles...
We can get soo wrapped up in other countries needing help (not saying they don't) when really we need to start here in canada soo we can get even more people going over to those needy countries...

This coming from me, the guy who wants to go to be a missionary over sea's...:P

That's why i think we really need to challenge ourselves over the next couple months to be missionaries in our hometowns...

--------------


Soo, i am sick... it sucks...

I wont be going to floor hockey tonight...no physical activity, thanks MOM!!! (she knows best:))
Instead i am going to spend some quality time with my Daddy watching the Blazers get there pants knocked off like usual...

Soo last night... i am on msn... like usual, lately...
I start talking to some good people...:D
One of them...is farely depressed... his girlfriend dumped him on valentines day... kinda ironic eh?
anyways.. we get talking and he decides that it is Gods fault and that God wanted him to be sad... and that God hates him...
I start convincing him that God didn't do it to make him sad but to teach him a lesson... i kinda get him calmed down...
He tells me that he planned on giving her flowers and taking her out for supper... :P (I just don't understand "dating" at the age of too young:)
Anyways... i get this idea in my head ...
"hey, i am dateless, he is dateless... we should do something together... a man to man date (nothing wierd:) and plus it would get his mind of things
Soo... i ask him on a date to the movies...
we pick him up, and Matthew joins.... kind of a date triangle
anyways... we walk down to the movies... get in a massive line... and get to the counter... my friend says to the old creepy man who usually just does janitorial stuff...
"i would like a youth ticket for The Eye (14A)"
The man glares at him... "How old are you?"

"i am 14 he replies"

Being the asininely stubborn creepy guy he is he shoots back "i will need to see some school i.d."

wimpering he replies "um... i am almost 15... and someone stole my wallet at school"

"well... i'm sorry but you need i.d."


That was the most ridiculous thing ever... who asks for i.d. for a 14A movie.... honestly

anyways.. we sat there pondering what to do... and then i said

"hey!! we both know you are 14... soo... i will buy your ticket at the other counter...."

I am amazing... it worked the movie was jumpy, but dumb.... and i found out later that my friend and his girlfriend are probly getting back together... ho ly (valentines day... wow)

Looking for Angels

This song by Skillet really got to me (it's kinda not in song form but w.e. i am a busy man and i don't have time to do that kind of stuff)

Walk this world alone try to stay on my feet Sometimes crawl, fall, but I stand up cause I'm afraid to sleep And open my eyes to a new day, with all new problems 4. and all new pain All the faces are filled with so much anger Losing our dignity and hope from fear of danger After all the wars, after settling the scores, at the break of dawn we will be deaf to the answers There's so much bigotry, misunderstanding and fear With eyes squinted and fists clinched we reach out for what is dear We want it we want We want a reason to live We're on a pilgrimage A crusade for hope Cause in our hearts and minds and souls we know We need it we need We need more than this Going through this life looking for angels People passing by looking for angels Walking down the streets looking for angels Everyone I meet looking for angels So many nations with so many hungry people So many homeless scrounging around for dirty needles On the rise, teen suicide, when we will realize we've been desensitized by the lies of the world We're oppressed and impressed by the greedy Whose hands squeeze the life out of the needy When will we learn that wars, threats, and regrets are the cause and effect of living in fear Who can help protect the innocence of our children Stolen on the internet with images they can't forget We want it we want We want a reason to live We represent a generation that wants to turn back a nation To let love be our light and salvation We need it we need We need more than this I became a savior to some kids I'll never meet Sent a check in the mail to buy them something to eat What will you do to make a difference, to make a change? What will you do to help someone along the way? Just a touch, a smile as you turn the other cheek Pray for your enemies, humble yourself, love's staring back at me In the midst of the most painful faces Angels show up in the strangest of places

Sicklings... and

Soo... sick last night.. carried into this morning... didn't know if i was going to be able to do anything today...

but as time roled along... my body started to fake me into beleiving that my sickness was over yay! but it wasn't

Went out for lunch with a buddy... went great...lots of good... There was a baby at the table next to us.. and it made the biggest mess on the floor ever... but what are babies for anyways?...


Soo... i have been thinking lately about getting an eyebrow ring.. thought about it before but.. never went into action.. parents are ok with it...
also when i am old enough... i don't know if there is an age limit... i am getting a tattoo on my forearm of a bible verse...
one of my favourites right now just because i feel like it's talking to me..

Joshua 1 v. 9
"Be strong and couragious, for the lord your God is with you"

and this way he can be with me on my arm..haha
but tattoo's are pretty cool as long as they are appropriate...


Tommorow is probly going to consist of sleeping in and trying to shake off this cold...

Keep me in your prayers and i will keep you in mine


-Josh--



(thanks for the cd (:D)

Why the heck?

So.. i haven't really found the purpose to a blog yet but... i don't even keep a journel... i hate writing...
Today was painful... woke up 4 times during the night... coughing dryly...lungs aching and palms sweaty... then through all this i had to go to the doctor's office to see how many shots and pills i would need for Guatamala and Haiti... apperantly my parents forgot to write some down on there little booklets... so we had some complications...

But i got out only having to take 2 massive shots... which was funny... cuz i didn't even feel either of them... (guess there is just too much muscle there ,,hehe) not even joking... (about the not hurting part :)

But atleast i got a sucker out of it :D (it was red... and kinda stale if suckers can get stale)

Getting home... i had to Lanny sit (not literally sit on him,.. come on)
We went to Mcdonalds... wow...

I have a love hate relationship with it... sometimes i will come in and scarf something down...
but today it wasn't like that...
I stared at my Nuggets for a couple minutes... thinking about how fake they were...
I can't beleive that a big name company like mcdonalds can get away with murder
(Heart attacks that is)

then i tasted the latest prodect... the Spicy Buffalo snack wrap... WOW PROBLY THE WORST THING I HAVE EVER TASTED IN MY LIFE... it was like shots all over again but in my mouth and instead of a vaccine they were injecting Kerosene... holy... but that's not to say i don't like the employees :D...


So expecting to take the bus home... me and lanny walked a ways... to the bus stop... thats a waste of money... when i can just walk 20 minutes to get home.... soo we did...
The hole way i was coughing and horking( I will explain a true hork later) ... lungs aching i pushed through the fury of snowballs coming from lanny... meh i decided to snow bank him (SNOWBANKED 2!!!!)(P4wned)

We played some hockey in the basement while blaring some Thrice as loud as we needed to rockem sockem... he won in the shootout... but then i powned him in mario kart...:)



But lately i have had some wierd feelings in my life...
Most of you know that there is a possibility of our family moving in the near future.. that's on my mind... but thanks to some help... it's in the right state of mind (ha ha)
How come that God always has to get you started on something and then yank you away from it.
I mean our family has been in Kamloops for 10 years now, and it feels like i am just getting settled in... w.e. God is a wierd one sometimes...(but always gracious and loving and forgiving)

I find my relationship with him... kind of wierd... I pray constently... no answer... I ask him for things constantly... no answer (in my oppinion a prayer is not the same as a conversation with him) But yet through all of this ... i know he is there and listens to me or i wouldn't be here talking to my bed while on my knees...
I got my thumbs up quicker than lanny today at mcdonalds... and he had(GOT TO) to pray
Why are children so much more trusting than us?... if he didn't truly beleive that God was there...and trusted in him... he would have thought praying in a public place... quite ridiculous


outstounding the mind of a child, truly is
-Yoda-


I would say... that was a pretty good blog post...
