"For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope—the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ"

Titus 2:11-13

Finally.....A Big Brother!!!

Yup that's gonna be my big brother.....we have already bonded so well don't ya think?!!

Ok so you probably all heard the big news already; that my big sister Kim is getting married!! I am so super excited for her and know that Daniel is one lucky guy! I am also looking forward to actually have a big brother for once....awwww....I know how sweet. Oh and Daniel you better not make me regret saying that....just kidding....So ya, Kim also asked me to be a bridesmaid, which I am very honoured and excited by. I cannot wait for July 19 and know that God will richly bless Kim and Dan and their life together.

Ok so finally I am actually sitting down and updating my blog, after many complaints that I am not being "current" enough. Just for all of your information I am still working at Bethany College as maintaince/custodian and I am still liking it, which I have attributed to the fact that I get along with who I work with....thanks Rhonda!

Quite a bit has happened in the last 4 months since I have updated: I am currently still living at home, I have the same job and have managed to keep my car running....ok so maybe nothing has changed. But wait! I did get a chance to meet Michael Buble in person ( & go to the concert) and go to Edmonton for some muchly anticipated shopping. So that counts right? Anyways March brings a busy month; there's two weddings, a Rascal Flatts concert and Easter; which I now realise takes up every single weekend, oh well look at the bright side, at least I will have something to post on my blog next time!

Normal??? Ya, Right!

Ok, so I really don't have much to update my blog with; life is normal...or as normal as it can be. These past few weeks I have really been enjoying hanging with some friends from highschool; we all live within a short distance of each other and it's weird how only lately that we have decided to make an effort to see each other. I have also been attending College and Career at Ebenezer Church a couple of times and it has been really good. I like the fact that I can get out of my little "small town bubble" and meet nice, christian people.....and yes, the men have crossed my mind, but nothing has happened.....yet. Just kidding, anyways that's all I have to say right now, maybe if I do something exciting like....oh I don't know, maybe go skydiving I'll let you know, but until then have a good one!

Vaccuming & So Much More

Wow, I can't believe that it is the middle of October already and have been working at Bethany for over 2 weeks. I guess time flies when your having fun....or working all the time! Anyways, I do actually like my job and it's been good getting into a routine once again. I am also getting pretty pro at cleaning, so you better watch out next time you ask me to clean your toliets....wait why would I want to do that? Never mind, just know that I make a mean vaccummer too, so you better be nice! All kidding aside, I have also really enjoyed the Christian atmoshere where I work, I have been encouraged and uplifted by so many people. I am really fortunate to work in a place where Christ can be spoken of openly without critisism or mokery; a place where I can make money yes, but also grow in my relationship with Christ. So life is good, pretty much like always, but I am content none the less. So for now I am going to bask in the blessings God has given me and have a lot of fun doing it!!

STEPHANIE HAS FOUND A JOB!!!!!! Yup, it's official I will now be apart of Bethany College's custodial staff...ok so maybe it's more like a janitor but I thought it would sound better if I used more formal terminology. Anyways, I am actually quite happy about it and am looking forward to seeing my friends from there every single day;don't worry that's not the only reason I took the job, but it is definately a bonus! I think that God has been teaching me something through the whole job searching experience; that when certian things that you think should turn out don't, it's for a reason. God has a plan for our lives; a plan that only our best intertests in mind, how great is that love!!!

Okay, so it's been quite while since I've written on this blog, but it's not completely my fault I mean facebook shouldn't be so addicting!!! Boy,things have changed since the last time I've updated, I am now currently unemployed and looking for a new full-time job somewhere in the city. Don't worry I didn't get fired from the paddling pool, it just closed for the summer so I have to go out and do the thing I hate most....interviews!!!! I'm not complaining though, God is good to have given me work this far and I have to constantly be reminded that God will provide beyond what I can imagine. Right now I am actually trying to write up my resume, but got distracted at how I haven't updated my blog in awhile.... Anyways I thought I might post some pics from the summer ( that was way too short by the way) and reminise on the good times!! I trust that God will bring much more laughter and fun into my life as another fall season begins.

Mir and I hanging out!
