Standing on the edge of everything I've never been before...


This is your life, is it everything you dreamed that it would be?


Yesterday morning I received a little message from God, at least I am taking it that way. I recently received my application for YWAM and have been struggling to know if this is my next step or not. I am a person who is horrible at making decisions, especially important ones, and the whole money thing is a huge issue also as I have never saved money before for anything.


But God being the awesome man he is spoke to me yesterday morning. I was blow drying my hair as usual, music blasting, the morning's selection was "Nice, Nice, very nice" by Dan Mangan. "Road Regrets" welcomed me and as I was dancing and singing along I randomly looked myself in the mirror, stopped what I was doing and just listened. "The cost is more than what you get paid, but do it anyways" Yup, there it was, it just clicked in my head and that was that. I knew right then and there that no matter what the cost (money wise and life wise) I was going to do this.


So that's where I'm at, I'm going to the library to print out the application this morning and to hopefully get started on some of the questions, at least the one where it asks my name. :) I also haven't told my mom yet so pray for that as she always seems to be the hardest.


I'll keep you updated on how things are going and if and when I get accepted feel free to give me your lunch money, cause I may need it ;)


Money count so far: saved- $224.71

: need - $5775.29 (at least)



Much love- Yams

I'm just a lovesick fool....

Ugh it's official the so called "love bug" has bitten and it's gettin itchy folks. I hate it when they text you and then you reply and it takes ages for them to get back to you, it's practically instantaneous people! Like c'mon. My friend D was recently engaged in one of these situations and she was all stoked on the prospect of a possible new boy in her life, until he totally crumpled that hope into a paper ball and tossed in into the garbage can by completely blowing her off. I wonder if that is what God feels like when we ignore Him. Does He pace back and forth, pulling on His hair waiting for us to reply to His text message? Does He freak out when He finally receives a reply and all it says is "K." It kind of changes my whole perspective of the situation. But for now I'm just going to relish in the fact that God never ignores us when we initiate contact, even if that super cute guy does. Damn those biceps, they get me every time.

Daddy here I am...

Yesterday was my Dad's birthday, and frankly my first thought was: big whoop. Our relationship with one another is slightly strained as my parents are divorced and I live with my Mom but I thought he deserved a little hang sesh with yours truly. So, this morning we went for breakfast and while we were chit chatting I realized my Dad is fifty years old! FIFTY! Apparently he isn't too happy about this and when I asked how his birthday was he said, "rather depressing." For a young person getting older is the best part of our life. We live for the milestones, 10 years, 13, 16, 19, and so on and so forth, but when do we get to the point in our lives when we no longer want to grow older? When does our mind shift from trying to act mature to acting like a kid half our age? My Dad is going through what would be classified as "a mid-life crisis." (although most of his life has been rather ridiculous) He invites his bosom buddy from next door over and they drink like

I'll be there for you, cause you're there for me too...

My body is so filled with excitement right now it's disgusting. My friend and I are about to embark on our own "Most excellent adventure" . Her birthday is coming next week along with her reading break and I booked the whole week off of work so we can initiate what we will refer to as "Super epic birthday week." We intend to re-hash all of our radtastic adventures such as going to Saltspring, Victoria, and a myriad of crazy experiences in between. I am so stoked! You know the type of friend I mean, the one who knows you inside and out, knows just what to say when you need to hear it, and most of all, loves you not for who you are but in despite of who you are. I have many good friends but very few compare to this girl. The thing is, this little lady friend of mine, is really the only one who just "gets" me. We've been buds since the seventh grade but it really wasn't until we graduated that this huge bond grew between us. We have so many memori
