Roadtrip...

2006-10-01T15:50:00.000-04:00

So I definitely went on a roadtrip this weekend and it was tres fun!! It started when we heard Stefs dad was in the hospital... tres no fun:( So we decided we would go visit him in the hospital as a SURPRISE! So we lead out in Berty, but first stop for gas... Berty needed some energy... so we did and we are driving along when Stef's like, "Issac lives in this area..." and I was like, "well hey lets go visit him... and really no one was expecting us anyways.... so not like we had to be in Windsor at a certain time..." so we detour to Tilsonburg...
We find Issac's home with no problem because we are geniouses... ahha... even though I dont know how to spell... and we end up staying at his place from like 10 pm to 1 am... FUN TIMES! let me tell you Issac Card is not what you would first think..ahha.. he's hilarious... we had some Youthworks venting and what not....
So after our detour to Tilsonburg... we head back to the 401.... Windsor we are going for sure... so we stop at pretty much every service station on the way... why? stef has an overactive bladder thats why ahha... so as we are arriving at the 401/402 split I get tres excited... I have never driven that way before...lol... always towards Sarnia.... so I'm really excited... so we end up in Windsor or should I say Tucumseh... at about 3:30am... we hit the sack...
Wake up at like 1pm ahahah... and eat and then visit Stefs dad.... that was tres fun... then we hit downtown Windsor and visit some lovely little parks along the river between Windsor and Detroit and have a photo shoot... tres fun.... and then head back where we rent 'inside man' and 'tristan and isolde'... good movies... and go to bed 12 ish...
Then we get up Saturday morning and clean all morning... make plans with Shannon Kelly, a beautiful friend from Chatam... and then visit Stefs dad again... then we head on to the movie theater to meet up with Shannon... unfortunately we just missed eachother as Stef and I went in just as the movie was starting... we watched 'The Guardian' with Kevin Costner and Ashton Kuchter... let me tell you its an awesome movie but i cried... like a baby... soo sad... but sooo good... and then we got some Wendys and headed back where Stef and Issac talked on email for an hour.. ahha.. msn wasnt good enough i guess.. and i watched 'Waynes World 2'.... then we went to bed got up this morning and headed back...
We got breakfast at timmies and then headed to london... we arrived at london at 11:40 where we met Issac at Kelseys..... we had lunch which was alot of fun.. Iissac had his kids grilled cheese haha... and Stef and I ate like adults... then after a few photos we departed ways... it was tres fun... good good times... then we arrrived back to Cambridge at about 2:45... so overall... it was some good times!! oh yes and dont forget the awesome singing at the top of our lungs to which we could have made any normal person deaf..ahaha
Thanks stef for everything... and mr. bazijanec we are still praying for you....

Youthworks!! I ended up in Winnipeg for the summer... so that was alot of fun... helped run short term mission trips to youth from the states... that was also tres fun! I led with Shannon Kelly, Sybil Mosley, Jared Dalton and Brian Fader... I was 'program' staff which means I led the evening club times and did the evening activities. We had 5 pin bowling, a poverty game, manitoba museum and then kildonian park... tons of fun... and then I led the talks everynight... definitely got over any fears of public speaking might I add... my biggest group was like 70 or so... so yeah... definitely STRETCHED me to the extreme... also learned about living with people I barely knew... and team dynamics... must say there is still some growth needed in that area... but I must say sleeping with Shannon all summer was TRES fun... haha... I do miss you Shannon...
Then there was camp.... HAHHAHA... lets say that it was alot of fun... but man did God ever teach me about contentment there... I really loved it and it was great... Also got into my first car accident... but it was minor so no reports... also two cop cars drove by and did nothing might I add... ahhaa... but yeah it was good
Then there was the frequent Ottawa trips... yeah that was fun... then I painted my aunts house with my cousin Ange... ahha.. and I broke their broom... ahha... I'm just too much I guess... ahha... yeah good times... miss ya Ange...
Then there was the training week... that was fun... totally LOVE being an RA... sooo much fun... our team is the greatest... Tim and Stacey Gibb are our resident directors... and then we have a team of 5 girls: me, stef, jenny, tab and chasity... and then 5 guys: brady, ben, markus, tom and chris.... definitely the coolest people EVER...

Awareness

2006-04-23T16:09:00.000-04:00

quotes from 'Awareness' by Anthony de Mello

- Normally, the way it goes, I press a button and you are up; I press a button and you are down. And you like that. How many people are not affected by praise or blame??

- If you ever let yourself feel good when people tell you that you are ok, you are preparing yourself to feel bad when they tell you that you are not ok.

- Anytime you have a negative feeling toward anyone, you're living in an allusion. There's something seriously wrong with you. You are not seeing reality. Something inside of you has to change.

- We never feel grief when we lose something that we have allowed to be free, that we have never attempted to possess. Grief is a sign that I made my happiness depend on this thing or person.

- The next thing you will be doing is demanding that other people contribute to your happiness. Perfect love casts our fear. Where there is love there are no demands, no expectations, no dependancy.

- Being aware is to watch yourself. No one can show you how to do it, because he would be giving you a technique, he would be programming you.

- What you are aware of, you are in control of. What you are not aware of, is in control of you. You are a slave to what you are not aware of.

- If you label yourself, you are going to cling to them. You worry if they fall apart and that's where suffering comes in.

- No event justifies a negative feeling. There is no situation in the world that justifies a negative feeling.

- Nobody was mean to you. Somebody was mean to what he or she thought was you, but not to you. Nobody ever rejects you; they are rejecting what they think of you.

- Suffering points up an area in where you have not yet grown; where you need to grow and be transformed and change.

- Another illusion is that external events have the power to hurt you, that other people have the power to hurt you. They dont. It's you who gave this power to them.

- Another illusion is that you are all those labels that peple have put on you, or that you have put on yourself. But, you are not.

- If I need you to make me happy, I've got to use you, I've got to manipulate you, I've got to find ways and means of winning you.

- Wisdom is to be sensative to this situation, to this person, uninfluenced by a carry over from the past, without residue from the experience of the past.

- to love someone, it means to see a person, a situation, a thing as it really is, not as you imagine them to be.

- Living is to have dropped all the impediments and to live in the present moment with freshness.

perceptions and choices

2006-04-18T22:09:00.000-04:00

I know I posted this on my msn space but some dont check there... so I put it on here too... :D

If there's anything that I have learned about people this past year it’s about perceptions and choices... I have learnt that everything a person does in life is based on a choice... People make choices everyday...
- I want to wear the pink shirt, my choice...
- I want to take the back roads to school, my choice...
- My friend tells me I look fat, my choice to be upset...
- My teacher tells me I could have done better on the paper, my choice to be upset or take it and learn from it....
Life is all about choices and how we chose to respond to people and what we chose to let bother us and let us shape and mold us into the person that we are...
Perceptions... oh man... that has been a big thing for me... I always thought that if someone didn't understand where I was coming from that I was wrong or that I was dumb... and that was so hard to get past that... I just assumed that if someone didn't see my way that there must be something wrong with me... now I know this seems like common sense but it didn’t hit me 'till I experienced it... Anyways, in life, everyone experiences things differently... everyone has different life events that alters someone’s view on life... not everyone will view everything the same... so it's ok if someone doesn't see something the same as me... it doesn’t mean that I am dumb or stupid... it just means that everyone's experience is different... not everyone will see life the same as me and that's ok because it would be pretty boring if we all thought like me...I mean a bunch of half sane/ half airheads walking around...ahaha... but yeah... and so from that I can take it as: "ok, they have experienced life differently so that means they just see things differently... doesn’t make me dumb or stupid... they just have a different view..."
But there will always be certain standards and truths that we all uphold... like a chair is a chair... we have different views of the chair... but it's universal to know that it’s a chair....
Also, it's also important to take things with a grain of salt because everyone has a different view. It doesn’t mean it has to apply to me.... if someone doesn’t agree with me, it's because they view it differently. That doesn’t mean I have to take what they say as gospel... and that's ok... it goes along with choices... you can choose to let it bother you or you can chose to see it as their view and that's ok for them... but not necessarily ok for me!! If its not hurting someone or hindering your walk with God, why does it need to be changed or expelled? It might not... that is where critical thinking comes in. Take it, judge it, form your own view...
I guess this has been a big thing for me and it's really opened my eyes to dealing with people who are opinionated or just have different views as me... it's ok... and I am not dumb and we are all unique and special in our ways... just some food for thought I guess...

Stupid Girls???!!!

2006-04-10T05:33:00.000-04:00

Well I heard this song the other day and at first I thought it was crazy... maybe because it was written by P!nk and she is so contraversial. But her song made sense... so many girls these day act like mindless zombies just trying to be something they arent and to just look pretty... because they think thats all life has to offer... boy are they wrong... we are women who are capable of anything that we put our minds to... God did not make us as junk... he made us wonderfully and fearfully... here take a look at these words and let me know what you think...

Stupid girl, stupid girls, stupid girls
Baby if I act like that, that guy will call me back
What a paparazzi girl, I don't wanna be a stupid girl

Go to Fred Segal, you'll find them there
Laughing loud so all the little people stare
Looking for a daddy to pay for the champagne (Drop a name)
What happened to the dreams of a girl president
She's dancing in the video next to 50 Cent
They travel in packs of two or three
With their itsy bitsy doggies and their teeny-weeny tees

Where, oh where, have the smart people gone?
Oh where, oh where could they be?

Baby if I act like that, that guy will call me back
What a paparazzi girl, I don't wanna be a stupid girl
Baby if I act like that, flipping my blonde hair back
Push up my bra like that, I don't wanna be a stupid girl (Break it down now)

Disease's growing, it's epidemic
I'm scared that there ain't a cure
The world believes it and I'm going crazy
I cannot take any more
I'm so glad that I'll never fit in
That will never be me
Outcasts and girls with ambition
That's what I wanna see
Disasters all around
World despaired
Their only concern
Will they mess up my hair

Baby if I act like that, that guy will call me back
What a paparazzi girl, I don't wanna be a stupid girl
Baby if I act like that, flipping my blonde hair back
Push up my bra like that, I don't wanna be a stupid girl

[Interlude]
Oh my you guys, I totally had more that 300 calories
That was so not sexy, no Good one, can I borrow that?
[Vomits] er no! I WILL BE SKINNY ! ! !

(Do ya thing, do ya thing, do ya thing)
(I like this, like this, like this)

Baby if I act like that, flipping my blonde hair back
Push up my bra like that, stupid girl!
Baby if I act like that, that guy will call me back
What a paparazzi girl, I don't wanna be a stupid girl
Baby if I act like that, flipping my blonde hair back
Push up my bra like that, I don't wanna be a stupid girl

Cultivating a Heart of Beauty and Strength

2006-03-28T09:20:00.000-05:00

I am currently doing my devotions on the book of Esther about becoming a women of beauty and strength and I read this and it just said something to me... I thought it was kind of cool and I wanted to share it... because I know I struggle why things happen and do not happen in my life...

"You can struggle to understand the details of your life, but better it is to understand that all that happens to you- good and bad, large and small, earth-shattering and insignificant- is directly related to the providence of God. He faithfully overrules, intermingles, and causes the particulars of our lives to cooperate with each other until He brings His will to pass. It's like making a chocolate cake. Have you ever thought about the ingredients for such a delight? They include something bitter (chocolate), something tasteless (flour), something sweet (sugar), something raw (eggs), and something sour (buttermilk). Yet when mixed together and passed through something hot (oven), they produce a lovely confection... Know that in Gods hands, the ingredients of your life will always work out for your good and for His eternal purposes (Romans 8:28). Trust Him to produce something lovely."

The List is Shortened...

2006-03-27T00:00:00.000-05:00

So I brought these schools to God in prayer and I am still praying about it... I hope you all are too... and I have narrowed it down to four... I know the suspense is killing you all I can see it...haha... well here they are... if you could keep praying about them... that would be awesome:D

Option #1: Cincinnati Christian University; Cincinnati, Ohio
MA In Counselling. The purpose of the 75-hour Master of Arts in Counseling program is to prepare counselors with strong Christian philosophical foundations accompanied by excellent skills to do Christian counseling in churches, agencies, and counseling centers. It is designed to prepare professional counselors to be properly credentialed by the state in which they practice and is in compliance with national training standards. The Master of Arts in Counseling degree fulfills the educational requirements for licensure as a professional counselor with clinical endorsement in the State of Ohio, and also satisfies the educational requirements for credentialing as a National Certified Counselor.

Option #2: Providence Theological Seminary; Otturburne, Manitoba
MA in Counselling Psychology. The three-year counselling psychology degree program provides an opportunity for students to specialize in either a general track or one of three specializations in Pastoral Psychology, Marriage and Family Studies, or Congregational Care. It also provides an opportunity for hands-on clinical training in a supervised field setting beyond the requirements of the four practica. The intent of the program is to prepare the graduate for practical ministry.

Option #3: Indiana Wesleyan University; Marion, Indiana
MA in Community Counseling. There is no doubt that stress, burnout, anxiety, depression and other mental health related issues are on the rise. Children and adults alike are suffering from the constant demands that are placed on us. Our society is looking to competent counselors to provide a source of healing and restoration to a hurting world. At IWU, students in the master's degree in community counseling program are trained to provide mental health counseling in private practices, community agencies, and organizational settings. The graduate counseling program prepares students to become highly competent counselors who constantly strive for growth and development in all areas; they also become facilitators of change in the lives of people whom they serve. Students in the graduate counseling program are exposed to a variety of learning environments through the classroom, practicum experience, and internship placement. Due to CACREP accreditation, students graduating with the 60-hour degree are eligible to forego the 2000-hour post-graduate experience and take the National Counselor Examination (NCE) during the last semester of their coursework. Students that pass the NCE are then eligible to become a National Certified Counselor (NCC), a certification of the National Board for Certified Counselors (NBCC). AND they accept Heritage degrees.... haha

Option #4: Trinity Western University; Langley, British Columbia
MA in Counselling Psychology. It provides integrated training in scientific psychology and counselling skills, so that students can appreciate the linkage between research and practice. Recognizes the importance of Biblical principles and spiritual resources in the healing process. I like this one because it allows me to live in Ontario still...

So there we have it... shorter and sweeter... keep praying... I know I am...

Seminary or University??

2006-03-24T23:36:00.000-05:00

Please help me decide... I am praying about this and I also would love if you could pray that God reveals at the right time what I need to do... Thanks a tons:D:D

Option #4: Providence Theological Seminary; Otturburne, Manitoba
The Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology differs from the M.A. in Counselling both in its length and content. In addition to the basic courses taken in the two-year M.A., the three-year counselling psychology degree program provides an opportunity for students to specialize in either a general track or one of three specializations in Pastoral Psychology, Marriage and Family Studies, or Congregational Care. It also provides an opportunity for hands-on clinical training in a supervised field setting beyond the requirements of the four practica.

Well the first time I took this test it told me I had:

Shephearding

Mercy

Teaching...

that was three years ago... now I am told this is what I am....

- Intercession

It is the special gift whereby the Spirit enables certain Christians to pray for extended periods of time with great positive effect for the building of the Kingdom.
- Mercy

It is the special gift whereby the Spirit enables certain Christians to feel exceptional empathy and compassion for those who are suffering so that they devote large amounts of time and energy to alleviate it.
- Faith

It is the special gift whereby the Spirit provides Christians with extraordinary confidence in God's promises, power, and presence so that they can take heroic stands for the future of God's work in the church.
- Pastor

It is the special gift whereby the Spirit enables certain Christians to assume responsibility for the spiritual welfare of a group of believers.
Exhortation

- It is the special gift whereby the Spirit enables certain Christians to stand beside fellow Christians in need and bring comfort, counsel and encouragement so they feel helped.

There I am in a bubble...lol Peace out...lol... Hixxie

What's My Love Language??

2006-03-24T23:11:00.000-05:00

Katie, you inspired me.. and Peppy you inspired her... wow... how the trial goes on...lol

#1 Quality Time--This can be expressed either through those intimate tete-a-tete discussions or via doing things together. It's possible to get a low score in this category because you have a strong preference for one form of Quality Time over another.

#2 Words of Affirmation--You need to hear praise to know you are loved and you may also prefer to express your affection verbally. Negative comments cut right to the bone. You want to hear that you're loved and how much and why.

#3 Touch--You want to give and/or receive affection physically. This may or may not center around sex.

#4 Acts of Service--You prefer to show your love through favors and chores and doing things for others. You feel put-upon and unappreciated when your efforts are taken for granted.

#5 Gifts--You are moved by presents and physical tokens of affection. It's the fact that someone is thinking about you enough to give you something that moves you. The objects are of secondary importance to the relationship and sentiment with which they were intended.

Well life got busy...

2006-03-24T19:02:00.000-05:00

Crash

2005-12-27T17:07:00.000-05:00

Well today was interesting... let me say one thing... I HATE racism.... I was watching Oprah today and on it was the cast of Crash. A movie about certain individuals who all run into eachother in the span of 36 hours in Los Angeles... Its all based on racism and how our world is corrupted on racism... Let me tell you, people who are racist are ignorant and rude. I know that people are afriad of the unknown and things they are unfamiliar with, but if someone has different skin than you what makes them different? Let me tell you, the only thing different is their skin colour. They are people too, they have a heart, they have feelings, they have ambitions and desires.... so why are we so mean and cruel to them? Why do we as a white race feel so superior to them? There is no difference. I think people need to grow up and accept life and realize that EVERYONE was created in Gods image and we are made the same, so accept it... what do you think?

Friends!!

2005-12-22T21:00:00.000-05:00

Oh man... I love my friends... they are sooooo great... I had amazing talks tonight with three of my favourite people in the whole world.... Pate, Perkins and Stef-e-y!!! I love them so much!! God, thank you for them!! Then I received emails from Val and Ashley... I love them too!!! Do you ever realize how lucky we are to be in relationships with others? I love how they encourage and build a person up. I love that they can help reflect on life, and help challange your growth in faith. So this is a big thank you to all those ladies and guys out there who have been there for me when I needed someone or challanged my thinking in my faith or just encouraged me to keep going... Thanks. I love you guys....

Megan got a JOB!!

oh wow... how life is at times... this morning as I was in the kitchen preparing my breakfast I heard a loud thud from the bathroom... then I heard Petra calling to me that she had just fainted... I went to the stairs to see Petra laying on the ground... I checked to see if she was ok and then called telehealth to see what to do... after talking some none sense with this lady.. I drove Petra to the hospital... the fun part??? We had an exam at 9am that morning... sooo we get to the hospital at about 8:15... and we are there till noon... meanwhile we had to wait for the doctor and the test results... oh ever so much fun... I called the school several times to see that i was ok to reschedule our exam... and apparantly Jurgen told the class that I was the one who had fainted and fallen...ahha... nope, not me! Anyways, so I brought Petra back and its been fun playing momma hixx... as I call it...haha... anyways so Petra is chilling out on the couch and I am just sitting beside her doing my own thing... I cant wait to be a mum... It'll be so fun!!!
