Andrea's Life...

It's been awhile since I've left a blog, so I've decided to "update" my blogness.

Well, I just came back from one fantastic amazing Junior II Crowsnest Lake Bible Camp. What can I say? God is amazing.

It's hard to sum up one entire week. I had six amazing-hyper-loud girls and one awesome co-councilor. I watched as God molded friendships, open doors for healing and lead to the awareness of how broken people are and how much prayer is needed. I made new friends. I got proposed to for the third time. I got dunked in the lake. I stole the big light from Robbie during MI. God provided me engery when I had nothing left. God allowed me to be well for all of camp. He granted me patience when I know that they were beyond worn thin. God is amazing, I cannot describe how great He is. Beyond comprehension.

I'm preparing to leave for Belize and I honestly believe this is where God wants me. I'm scared, but so excited at the same time. What kind of adventures does Jesus have in store for me, how many lessons shall I learn? WOW...WHOA...and...AH.....PRAISE GOD!!!

Okay, I'm thinking I should sleep now....

God bless y'all!!!

I love the sun.

not just love the sun I LOVE the sun!

I like finding joy in simple things.

One is I love cruising down the highway with my music too loud and my windom complete down. Don't ask me why cause I do not know. I just love the feeling.

I love taking pictures. Especially random pictures, they are the best.

I love talking through movies. It makes everything all the more entertaining for me...and...usually just me. haha.

I love late night talks with my best friends. My most recent best friend to talk with at night is Evangeline, and it was so...lovely. It's even better when Byanka randomly opens her eyes and is like "I haven't talken to him sense then!" :)

I love little children, especially the little ones with big eyes that stare at you for no reason. Actually, just in general, I love little kids.

I love God. He never changes, He's always faithful, and He loves beyond comprehension.

Wow, I think I can once again say, I love life. :)

Thanks God.

It really sucks to be a perfectionist in life when we are all doomed to be imperfect.

 

I messed up again. I realize when I mess up, I retreat. In hopes that I can get things straightened out before I face the world again.

 

I don't like letting people in because I don't want them to see me mess up. I hate messing up. I hate hurting people. I'm scared. Lame.

 

I did that this past weekend and I feel stupid.

 

I like to tell people 'it's okay' or 'everyone messes up.' But I still hate it when I mess up. I have this fear inside of me that people won't accept me when I mess up. Oh dear.

 

I thought it would be appropiate to quote one of my favourite bands...Skillet

 

 

 

 

 

It's been awhile since I've blogged. I guess that's either a sign of busyness or lack of motivation. Possibly both?

Sometimes it seems that I never have time for the things I cherish the most. Maybe I just don't make time.

I laughed so hard that my side hurt tonight. It's been awhile since that has happened. As much as my side ached, it was such a great pain!

 

It doesn't take much to make my day, but it is the small wonders that never cease to amaze me.

A smile on a little child's face.

A kind jesture from a stranger.

A call from a friend.

Nice drivers on the road.

Random hugs.

Singing...

Haha, and random cars lights that pop out of the hood of the car when turned on.

What can I say? I'm a small town girl through 'n through.

 

O wonder.

Sometimes tears are needed to cleanse the heart from plague building from life's troubles.

Sometimes laughter is needed to provoke the joys boxed away in the back.

Sometimes mystery should be held tightly in your hand.

O wonder.
