I am so tired! But not as tired as Sammy...I don't think I could pull an all-nighter and then walk downtown for miles (literally). Sammy you are my hero!
The French trip was fun...tiring but fun. We got to look at an awesome photo display. I can't remember the photographer (he's french though) or the place (it's also french :), I'm too tired, so I'll tell you guys later. The Biblioteque Champlain was really cool. All these books and movies and CDs- all in French! I hope I can go back there sometime. Then we went to La Maison de Croissant. VERY yummy croissants!
Uh-Oh, I think I'm getting sick- red cheeks and sore throat. Yikes.
So formal time is in the air! Oops, sorry Sarah- "Spring Banquet" season is in the air. Everyone is chattering excitedly about who to go with, how to get there, and most importantly- what to waer! At least the girls are...the guys are rolling their eyes and thinking if it's really worth it to spend $110 on 2 tickets, plus the cost of a tux just to get that pretty girl to smile at them in that special way...Hmm...
Well the Religion ISPs are done (except for one naughty student on the French trip...) and we have Chem on Mon...I don't want to think about it. My face is sunburnt...Ok I'm tired, I think I'll stop now. Have fun at the party Sammi!
I've made this song my prayer. It reminds us that we need to sit at the feet of God humbled to serve the broken. I got the lyrics from higherpraise.org:
Humble King
D Em D/F#
Oh kneel me down again,
G A2 D
here at Your feet
Em D/F# G A2 D
Show me how much You love humility
Em D/F# G A2 Bm A2 G
Oh Spirit be the star that leads me to
D/F# Em A7 A7sus D
The humble heart of love I see in You
G D/F#
You are the God of the broken
Em A2
The friend of the weak
G D/F#
You wash the feet of the weary
Em A2
Embrace the ones in need
G D/F#
I want to be like You, Jesus
Em A2
To have this heart in me
Em D/F#
You are the God of the humble
G A2 D
You are the humble King

The second one today! :) Hey, I'm new at this... So...the retreat...I really learned alot. The first night it hit me like a shock that I didn't measure up- I'm so proud sometimes...so i had to go out to my cabin to get something and I just prayed that God would heal my heart. I had prayed that he would humble me, and through a stupid prideful mistake I realized I would never be a help to God unless I relied on Him. Sounds simple...but hey, sometimes you have to learn the same lesson over and over again, most times the hard way.
So I still don't know what I'll do when my parents leave for Senegal...it would be amazing to go with them for a year, but what ever God wants. The question is...what DOES He want? And when I come back, will I go to Memorial Uni. in NFLD with my family, or stay in Ontario with my friends? And will I do medicine, or look into international law? Grade 11s I know you feel my pain- what will we do with our lives?! It's so hard to try and hash it out- I'm only 17! Well, not yet technically...but in a week... God help us to find your will, and help us not to mess stuff up. And if we fall...pick us up...and if we break...heal us Lord we pray.
