Bio class

Well I haven't posted in a long time but that's too bad for me. I was in Bio. class today and we were doing a lab and I don't know how but we somehow got onto talking about God in my group. I know both the people in my group and they both new that I was a Christian and they started asking me questions. They wanted to know things about how God could send people to heel if he had unfailing love for them and also how he could send people for other religions to hell because they didn't believe in him. All in all I don't think they were to serious about the conversion but still I felt like I didn't have the best answers. However I did find you that they both believe that Jesus walked the earth however I didn't talk about his resurrection which I realized was something that I should of done. But I just hope that this gives me a beater opportunity for something like this to happen in the future and that I will be better prepared for it. I would also like to say that I could use some prayer. I have for some reason always had a hard time praying indepthly. My prayers seem to be very shallow and I don't open myself up to him as much as I should. So God Bless all of you.

Wow

My last weekend was just amazing. I want to thank Brent and his parents for inviting me to his birthday party, for having me over for the night, and especially for the ride from and to the ferries. At Brents birthday party I got to meet lots of people and got to see some other people that I already knew. It was an awesome party. The next day they took me to church and I got meet see some people I already knew like Leon. Then there was Bible study which was awesome and what really impressed me was that it was lead by the students and not the by an adult. I thought that was amazing. The Bible study was about letting are light shine and not hiding it. Then at church the whole thing was about Joy. Every song had the word joy in it and the sermon was on it too. In the sermon the pastor said that Joy is an amazing thing and there is no other word to describe true Joy. And the only way to experians true Joy is through a relationship with God. So yay I had an awsome weekend.

School Soccer Provincials

I got to go to the provincials for school soccer. We got 11th place in the Provence. 16 teams made it to the provincals. And it was the all the AA schools. We lost 3 games and won 2 and surprisingly I got to play every game and even got to start one. I tripled my playing time in the 5 games we played. It was awesome however what I found to be even more awesome then playing is what I got to tell some of my teammates.

Everyday I would read my Bible and The Purpose Driven Life and my teammates would see me and ask me what I was doing. One even said "cool" when they found out I was reading my own Bible. On the last night we were up late into the night and one of the people in my room ask me to tell him about God. So I did the best I could to tell him about God and how he sacrificed his one and only son for us to go to heaven. It was awesome. And shortly after doing the best I could to explain God another guy came in and he thinks religion is pointless. So we also talked about about God and I don't think I changed his opinion but gave him some thing to think about.

I also got to see Ashley so that made an awesome week a spectacular week.

Mayne Island rules... Stupid cameras

Well this last weekend was awesome. I got to go to my Oma and Opa's house on Mayne Island. It is a water front property and I got to see lots of sea life like seals, sea lions, eagles, and lots of seagulls. I got to spend lots of time with my family we played lots of card and board games. Including risk but like most games of risk I play it only went till the last two players were left and then we left it at that because it was about 11 at night. We had a fire and I had to clean out the gutters. There was a lot of time to do nothing so I read the rest of a novel for English and some more of my bible and played way to much of my gameboy. Sad thing is that it was Pokemon. Also another sad thing is I didn't do any homework. I'm a little bad with procrastination. So yaa I had an awesome weekend.

About the camera. I lost mine coming back from yc and today I went to buy the same camera that I lost and guess what they don't make them anymore. So I have to go find a new camera Grrrr. How dare olypas.

Dilen

During the church serves today when every one was sing one of the last songs I heard some one call my name. It wasn't an older voice but when I turned around I could see a little hand waving above some of the other people in the church heads. I couldn't see the kids face, even when I moved around a bit. I didn't want to make myself look weird bye waving over the people heads to the kid but I did in the end. Then for some reason I could see how it was. It was Dilen, he is one of the younger kids that attends the Kid Club that I help out with at my church (I get to lead the games). This got me thinking why in the world did Dilen want to say hi to me so bad.

This kind of made me think that through what I do I will affect this little kids life. That for some reason he likes me. I don't think I have done anything to spectacular for this kid. I have helped him with his crafts I have played games with him I have told him lots to settle down and be quite. It just makes me wonder that maybe this kid looks up to me.

Also when the pastor was doing her sermon today I noticed my little sister Sara taking notes on what she was talking about. I myself had only just started doing so the weekend before. So it seems to me that whatever I do there are little kid watching me and that by watching me mite do the same as me. That they take in the things I do, good and BAD what if they see me do something that I shouldn't. Like making a joke about how someone looks or get mad at my brother or not be part of the activates that we are doing. These are all things that I tell them not to do but what type of example am I setting by doing them myself.

I now will try and stop doing these things because I'm not helping them. If I don't do what I tell them to do, who am I to tell them not to.

Learning about middle school students

Well this weekend I went to another camp called something I cant spell, so anyways. I was there because I help with the middle school students at baptize church in Parksville. I was also the youngest one that went from that church, but only by 1 day. However after that it was a gap of about 3 year and the gap after that was at lest 6 years so yaa there like parents and have jobs and cars and can do things with the middle school students and such. Anyways back to the camp part. There were 3 speakers. The first speaker spoke about disciples and how Jesus prayed and picked his disciples. And that his disciples were the lesser people. That also Jesus served his disciples, and he layed his life down for his disciples. He talked about this so that we may teach the students of Gods love. The second speaker talked about students culture. In small groups he got us to talk about students and what they like and what kind of family they may come from. We even talked about the gap between youth and the elder people in the church. The speaker said that we should invite kids over even if your just eating with your family, or if your doing an erons to just take them along with you. And how the students that we interact with may need love because they don't get it at home same with attention. And the third speaker talked about different relationships in the bible and talked about how one person would talk someone in and pour there life into them. And how afterwards the person they poured there life into did amazing things. So yaa it was an awesome 2 day camp and I also meet lots of new people and have found another board game to add to my very little collections. And that is what I did for the last two days. :) Yaa God

Back form yc

Well last weekend was awesome. I myself enjoyed it lots meet some new people and got to know other people better. Like Nick and how he is willing to stay up late and play risk way into the night where as other people where afraid to lose sleep (grrr). And ashey she is just an awesome girl. But camp Sunrise Rules, I always enjoy my at camp. But I always dislike leaving it because I always feel so close to God at camp and when I return home the closeness leaves. But I know that I should keep praising his the same even at home but it is hard because there are minimal youth at my church and there's no other youth to keep it going. However even with that I still come away from camp a little closer to God. But after this camp I think God has told me to look into doing something with kids and youth. But the worse thing that happened this camp was I lose my Digital Camera but all in all I really don't care which I find kind of odd because it was not a cheap camera. However I enjoyed camp and can't wait till next summer. :)
