You are looking at..















...the new Hope Fellowship Young Adults Co-ordinator!

Had a good discussion with the Pastor today in regards to my role in the church. BUT I have mixed feelings as to where my focus will now be turning. He begged me to stay on in Sunday School for another year and to drop Praise Team....I had a feeling that was what he was going to suggest. I like Praise Team though...more and less because I feel appreciated after every service and it's a relatively easy responsibilty. Sunday School is not my strong suit but things may change come the fall when I take over the age group that I co-teach right now.

So much to think about and so much to plan!! I'm excited to been given the go ahead with this role now and I'm running with it!!

I love that I am accepted by this church and encouraged/welcomed to be a part!

Cyn:"It would be like paying for a manicure but only getting your nails cut"

M: "'....tis getting late"
Ch: "Didn't realize it was creeping up so fast to 1am" (she is a different time zone)
M: "It's not even midnite!"
Ch: "Why are you going to turn into a pumpkin?"
M: "No, but the 2pm brickwall hurts"

L:"Oh shoot, I forgot my circus elephants in the car and I didn't crack the window!"

M: "T, are you Christian Fo...
T: "Yes I'm a Christian, are you going to marytr me?
M: "Yeah, with my water gun"
T: "Ha, ha"

T: "This book is like candy, cotton candy." *pauses* "No, it's like.....crack. What some crack?"

How big is your Umbrella?

:P

Sometimes I wonder how they come up with book titles.

Classic example.

Why must you tease? Weiss is back. Vaughn is alive. Crazy killing lady is back. Will Tipin is going to reappear. Maybe we should call the next episode Reunion? This show has gone nuts!

*Update*
Did some spoiler digging and apparently Sark will return to the series and maybe even Francine! I can understand Sark but we all saw Francine die, twice (both the real and clone). Oh and there is talk of them showing how evil Sloane is and always has been - now how does that not suprise me? And we may see another Rambaldi device - which I totally called last night after they performed the surgery on Syd - they want her amniotic fluids for something! Only 6 episodes left and good bye forever Alias.

Here's to the next couple Wednesday nites watching the show on a huge flat screen in HD with two lovely ladies! (Making friends with neighbours is the best thing ever!) Cheers.

TYS for the nite:
S - "My computer is super fast, it's like Jesus"
S - "A Mac is like candy"

A taste of the summer to come:

....sun shining down warming the skin
....warm wind with a hint of humidity
....reading a book outside on a grassy hill
....sunglasses
....eating dinner on the balcony enjoying the sunshine

all that is missing is a bbq...

*sigh*

Happy Easter!
Up from the grave He Arose!















I am in denial of much great depth that I have to work tomorrow....so without further ado, I shall talk about my weekend. I had a very interesting time at home from Thursday nite until Saturday afternoon - going home is never a uneventful time.

The best part of my time at home was grabbing my camera, lying on the grass hill in front of the house and just soaking in the beautiful silence, the cool fresh air and the damp smell of fresh dirt/grass. (oh and lets not for get the 101 photos I took!) Dad and I also took a gander down the path to the back bush..it's been quite some time since I've been back there.


In a moment of that afternoon I thought to myself that I never want my parents to leave that plot of land - it would be like ripping out a part of me if that ever happened. I love having a forest just moments from the doorstep, being able to sit under hundred year old maple trees, have campfires and roast marshmellows on a crisp summer nite, lying on the grass watching the stars. For as much as that sounds cheesy, i miss the country life. (I know this isn't the first time I've said this).

Anyways, this post is taking me forever to get posted....adieu for now!

Oh for some fab photos of my adventures of home - click here.

P.S. I've become a shutter bug.

It's been 14 weeks since I started keeping track of all novels that I've read...and I've been able to read a book a week! Quite amazing I know! Or sad, depending on the way you look at it. :P

Amount of books read so far?

*drum roll please*

Fifteen!!!

No wonder my book shelf looks like this...



















Or the floor beside my bed...

Ain't it a beaut??

It's love at first sight.

And shameless amounts of stupid photos.

It's my first ever digital camera of my own!

Canon PowerShot A610
5.0 MP 7.3- 29.2mm

M: "So D, Pastor e-mailed me last night and said I can be 'semi' in charge of young adults now".
D: "We don't need any leader, we are not an organization!"

GAH!

H (to guys): "We want to go camping!"
G: "The kind where u have to pay?"
H: " Uh, yes."
*grumble grumble*

GAH!

My response (and Heather's) = stupid boys!

H: "Men don't know the administrative things that need to be done"
Pastor: "That's true, don't listen to D!"

I don't care what the guys say at church, I'm realizing my passion is for building a young adults community and giving back to the church so I'm gonna take this role and run with it!

I'm insanely giddy right now, especially odd since I'm at home by myself, alone on a Saturday nite. Went shopping...oooh, got a pair of sandles for the summer, a blouse (to add to my growing pile in my closet), a polo shirt (i love them!), a roots umbrella and a movie (Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe), watched some tv and now just chill'n in front of my comp.

I also just got an e-mail from my pastor about YAG. Apparently I am officially "semi" in charge of the Young Adults at my church if I want the job - to quote: "that is if you want it….and I know no one else can do a better job"

This makes me excited!! *claps hands* I've already got a ton of ideas for events and ways we can help out the church - now to run them by Pastor Mike. And update the website:

How true this cartoon is. And here I thought this only happened to my family. :)

Can anyone cure the 2pm Brick Wall? Or at least put some padding on it so I can sleep?

M: "Some people's children!"
R: "No, some people need children!"
M: "I think it's a little too late for that"

(Well done R, you gave me some blogable material.)

New quarter released this week for Breast Cancer Awareness. I hope one of these end up in my wallet!

These have got to be the best Christian t-shirst I have ever seen! This is definitely wearable apparrel that isn't strickly bible thumping - more comical then anything.
