Forty-eighth Post Ever...
Well now...this is a milestone!It's a rather random milestone granted, but a significant post on my blog nonetheless. (is that even a word...whatever!)
So this post is all about my brand new friends from Zoisia!
zoisia n : lawn grasses native to southeastern Asia and New Zealand; grown especially in warm regions
But, in my case, zoisia is the senior high youth group at south abby church. And there are a whole wack of really awesome, great, dedicated people who go there, and I love it! I have been going since august (I went night-sliding at cultus with them) and I've been going faithfully ever since. This weekend we are getting together to do the "Urban Plunge" seeing what it's like to be homeless. We get to sleep in cardboard boxes..how totally cool! For the past two weeks at youth we've been doing fear factor...I couldn't do it! I chickened out. But you can't blame me, I mean who would voluntarily drink a big mac meal, yes...I said DRINK! How nasty can you get! I mean ewwwww!
Anyways, yeah, the worship is fantastic, and Jon is one of the best youth pastors in the WORLD, and yeah. It's great, I love them all!
Here are all of my youth buddies!
Melissa and Gab (small group leaders!)
Chantelle (on the right)
Me and Rachel!
Worship time...

Forty-seventh Post Ever...
HELLO EVERYONE!!!hows life? well...life for me....its quite.......shall we say "busy-ish" I wake up, I go to school ,I get home, I watch about an hour of tv (sometimes not), I do homework I eat supper, monday's is youth, thursdays is drama and wednesday's is BYOB (bring your own bible) at church RIGHT after school, and as of like....TODAY tuesdays after school is "hard-core youth nerds get-together" at city blends! It's sooo great! Jon is like...THE CoOLEST YOUTH LEADER IN THE HISTORY OF YOUTH LEADERS! (although I'm biased, because he's the only youth pastor i've ever had...so yeah) And yeah..school's all good, I got my interms (or midterms..i have NOOO clue what they're called) and I'm getting a B in PE, WOOT! and 90.87% in spanish, and 99% in socials! so life is pretty much ALLL good. I sang at youth yesterday, that was GREAT fun, I also gave my testimony there a couple of weeks ago, and I'm doing small groups with the grade ten girls from youth, which is also awesome! You will laugh hysterically when you hear our group name..are you ready for this..ok...it's "The Upper Fijian Bulgarian Tree Climbers Who Ride Unicorns!" It is soO rad........I mean, how creative are we? coming up with a name that long!?!?!? oh yes..it was good! so yeah..basically life is pretty much sweet!
OH! and I'm going to a concert in november with the youth....wooohoooo!
OH! and did i tell you, I got a new baby cousin! he's adorable! He belongs to my auntie tracy and uncle google (otherwise known as uncle hugo) and he's is ADORABLE! (oops, i said that already, oh well....its true!) and yeah, hes like......a month old..i think! *shrug* i dunno, it's very cool, and he is So precious!
Anyways, that was my post..hope you all enjoyed it immensely...i will try to post more often now too....because I kind of took like a leave-of-absence when school first started..but now i'm in the swing of things there should be more time for this sort of thing!
See you all around..sometime.......
