If you let it, it will happen

There are moments in our lives
That shape who we are
Events that make things click in

Passion could be created
Bonds tied tighter
Or wedges pushed between best of friends
Trust becoming an issue
Misconstrued actions pierce like the longest daggers

As life continues hurts can heal
If oppertunities are taken
The daggers get pulled out
Maybe forgiveness towards the offender

Through the pain and healing
The true friends are shown
Relationships are formed.
With whom?
With the people who will walk with you,
Through the thick and the thin.

a piece i wrote in writing class

woo haven't posted in a while so time for a mixer upper post!

Saturday! - WEll it was valentines day!!!! and i would have blogged yesterday but i was tired ... :) well yea, i went and picked up Sam from the mall yesterday because she was shopping with her mom. I brought a boquet of yellow roses for her (you can see them at www.sam--middleton.blogspot.com ) and it was funny cause i came around the corner just as she walked out the door so that kinda worked out really well :P and there was some people standing around the door and a few of the girls were all .. "AWEEE" it was kinda funny. We then proceded to union street grill for lunch (since we couldn't go out for dinner cause of the church rehearsals for coemdy night.. more about htat in a bit) lunch was very good minus the weird salad Sam got .. lol but we did our little card exchange and Sam got me an amazing ring! and a glass cubic *describes further with a pic that will show up in a while* but it has an engraved picture of jesus on the cross on the inside .. it's super sweet! but yea then we went for a walk around the airpark before we had to go to the church, which was great because since we have pretty busy lives with school grad stuff and church/youth and work we don't get much time to just be with each other. After all that we headed on over to hte church and we worked on skits and practise and that general stuff!....

Sunday! - well i got tto the church at about 9:20 for the service to get ready to be on hte good ole' camera! we then had a little wendy's for lunch and long story short we ended up back at the church to practise all our skits for about 4 hours! by the end of the practise i was getting so everything was pretty funny ... (i was pretty darn tired) we to say the least the comedy night went off with out a hitch, and a BIIIIIIGGGG thanks to every one who bought tickets since the proceeds go on over to our mexico team! and the support from the pastoral team and all he encouragement and commplements will not go forgotten. it was just such a blessing i love you all!!

GENERATION UNLEASHED!!!!

Well i can't really say much about it cause it would take away from how awesome it was lol. there was no words to express how it was to see around 4000 youth just worshiping and lifting up their hands to God. It was a phenominal few days learning from some of the big names in portland hearing from P. Doug Lasi, JUDAH SMITH!!!, Donna Lasit, Asim Trent, Poncho Lauder, everything they said was great and had such great oppertunity to apply it to my life. and through all this i got to thinking, why is it so easy to worship in a room of 4000 kids but when we are alone or with some of our friends that aren't saved we hold back or we just don't tell them about God we have to be the ones to raise the bar. because the amount of youth there is about 80% of the comox valley`s youth... so one question is .....what is stopping us? what is stopping us from getting that many youth here together in the valley to just praise God. so i challenge you to take the big step and go and just talk to your friends about God what is there to loose? you might get a weird look, ooooo nooo. All im saying is that we need to start living like we have something to live for.
