What does it mean..
Monday, August 07, 2006
Let me tell you all about it..
I LOVE THE WEEKEND. I live for the weekend. Honestly I don't know what I would do without the weekend, I would just about go nuts. Here is what I did over the weekend Friday I went to work to pick up my paycheck expecting it was BIG MONEY, but oh I was so wrong, I was confused about how she told me they did paychecks. Anywho I walked over the Amy's from there and we went to the mall and later on went to Annicks & Andy's house with Amy and guess who was there Kelsey.. my oh my she is soo gorgeous, and she is so grown up to.. And yeah it pretty cool too cause she has a bit of an accent, its so cute. Well we helped out with the baby well mostly just visited and ate dinner and what not.
Then SATURDAY went to English bay because it was my friends birthday party and it was also the fireworks finale. So we ated at the beach which was pretty cool cause my friend like made a feast and she's such an awesome cook. My friends and I decided to climb rocks it was fun. LOL. Anyways so we walked around a bit and talked and what not.. then we watched the fireworks.. THEN we were walking back to the bus stop but we had to pick up our other friend cause he got lost and he was at the art gallery, so we picked him up and started walking and guess what EVENTUALLY we got LOST. I've always wanted to get lost before but, this wasn't the way I pictured it. We were also at the creepy part of vancouver we were pretty much by TINSEL TOWN. lol BUT we did fine our way back at like 12:45 and we finally got the bus at like 1 ish. lol. Met some pretty creepy people and some dude was smoking weed on the bus NOT COOL. Anywho that was my eventful saturday..
And then here comes Sunday. Went to the mall, then to my other friends birthday party. We ate like animals, watched tv and played KAREOKE. lol. Then we watched "The hills have eyes" TERRIBLE MOVIE, it was far from scary more sad than scary .. honestly I advise you guys NOT to watch it. After the movie Cara had to walk home and I must say people are very inconsiderate i was the only one that walked her home and my other friend only walked with me like 1/4th of the way. She got home safely. Well that made me pretty upset so I went upstairs to my friends room to read, eventually people started pooring into the room, by that time there were like 2 guys left. and they were in the hot tub and it was like 2:45AM LOL and in come my friends DAD. Aiiiicarrrummmbaaa LOL he's like all the boys OUT. lol and then the 2 guys had to leave but they couldn't cause one guy forgot his WET boxers and he didn't wanna go comando. So we were trying to blow dry it to give him WITH A BLOW DRIER. In the end they 2 guys ended up sleeping over. The boys slept in the theater room and the girls were in my friends bedroom. It was really fun cause one of the guy came to our room and we just had good chat time. I wanna have lots of big sleepover parties like that. I think it was fun and NOTHING like that would happen we just talk and then go to sleep. I think we should do that again sleepover are so much better when its girls and guys, but I don't think my mom would let me. Then in the morning we woke up and ate a really yummy breakfast; eggs, bacon, sausage, french toast, and pancakes. and we can't forget ORANGE JUICE. OH and we watched "the notebook" in the morning. I hate that movie but it seems to get better everytime i watch it.
Well that was the story of rheba's weekend. I hope you enjoyed I left out a bit of major details but, if you really would like to know then just let me know. okay have a fun BC DAY everyone bye. =)

bad day
Its only 12pm, but I have a feeling that I'm gonna have a bad day. I hate these kinda days.. its not as if anything is going wrong or anything you're just having a bad day and thats all.. it sucks it really does. Its like nothing is going wrong right now.. but then something always happens like .. iuno but you kinda just feel .. like blah like nothing. Like you're worth nothing like you're NOTHING. For no reason what so ever. I realize some days thats I'm not happy and its over the stupidest things ever.. like I wish I were closer with this person, but I have friends that I am close with and love me and I can't be grateful for them. The ones thats are my friend and that are there .. I hate it and I feel terrible cause its like they want to be my friend but I'm still stuck on the people that don't care for me. Like I don't even understand myself this is majorly pathetic. But yeah what can ya do about it. Today is not a good day.

be who you say you are../priorites
Being who you say you are..
In our world being who you say you are is a big topic .. the #1 thing that bothers me .. about people saying they're something but they're not. is when they say"I'm christian." They come to church and worship god, pray and "do the christian thing" but then as soon as they're outta there they turn around and swear, its like they have split personalities. If you say you're christian, at least TRY to follow God's word.. and not because you think you HAVE TO, but because you want to. Remember being christian isn't all about you. I mean of course sometimes it will be hard.. but if you love God with all your heart you can do it and he will be there to help you. Its the same if you're someone's friend .. be their friend 100% of the time. If those are a problem for you PRAY ABOUT IT. People underestimate the power of prayer.
Prioritizing.
As christians our priority in our life should be GOD 100% and the fact that .. some people make their priorites their girlfriends/boyfriends, or education, or money, or work first bothers me and not just that it brings me down. If you and your girlfriend/boyfriend spend more time together than you and God.. then you have a problem. If your education.. is about what you want or your family/friends wants.. then thats a problem. ASK GOD for what he wants, its not about you. And with money we think we need money to satisfy us or to put food on the table.. but thats nothing close to what you need. You need god not money. Once you have God your financial problems are no longer exsistent. WORK I think is the number 1 problem in our chrsitian lives.. people tend to over work themselves and use it for an excuse for not having time for God, which I think is pathetic. MAKE TIME, and if work is stopping you.. then do something about it; book shifts off.. or get a new job if its that bad.

5. Friend A member of the Society of Friends; a Quaker.
tem·po·rar·y
adj.

I looked those 2 words up today, and I realized I don't want any of those 2 word to combine into a temporary friend. I mean if its not over my controll then I can't do anything, but I will put all my power into trying to never let that happen, but one person can only do so much. A friendship is 50 50, not 70 30.

To treat with affection and tenderness; hold dear: cherish one's family; fine rugs that are cherished by their owners.

You don't know what you got till its gone

Pour yourself into the Bible.
1 Corinthians 5
Church Discipline
5:1 It is actually reported that sexual immorality exists among you, the kind of immorality that is not permitted even among the Gentiles, so that someone is cohabiting with his father’s wife. 5:2 And you are proud! Shouldn’t you have been deeply sorrowful instead and removed the one who did this from among you? 5:3 For even though I am absent physically,4 I am present in spirit. And I have already judged the one who did this, just as though I were present.5:4 When you gather together in the name of our Lord Jesus, and I am with you in spirit, along with the power of our Lord Jesus, 5:5 turn this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord. 5:6 Your boasting is not good. Don’t you know that a little yeast affects the whole batch of dough? 5:7 Clean out the old yeast so that you may be a new batch of dough – you are, in fact, without yeast. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. 5:8 So then, let us celebrate the festival, not with the old yeast, the yeast of vice and evil, but with the bread without yeast, the bread of sincerity and truth. 5:9 I wrote you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people. 5:10 In no way did I mean the immoral people of this world, or the greedy and swindlers and idolaters, since you would then have to go out of the world. 5:11 But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who calls himself a Christian who is sexually immoral, or greedy, or an idolater, or verbally abusive, or a drunkard, or a swindler. Do not even eat with such a person. 5:12 For what do I have to do with judging those outside? Are you not to judge those inside? 5:13 But God will judge those outside. Remove the evil person from among you.
Thats one intense read, I really think everyone should read that and dig into it, its an awesome chapter and Corinthians is an awesome book aswell. Yeah I really think that reading is it is one thing, but then diving into it with a friend and talking about it is another whole level, so I say do that. okay enjoy the word of God.

AMAZING I tell you. Honestly God is one awesome dude. He totally fixes everything when you rely on him. And I am gonna do that forever. I just prayed alot and alot.. and God answer's prayers.. sometimes not right away but he does. I also realized I love praying, I really do.. thats why I think I know now that I really wanna go on a Mission's trip..

Treasure the important things in your life.
okay.. yeah i'm picky I know. well.. I actually I wouldn't say picky, I just know what I want.. and I know exactly what I dont want. What I really want right now is a job at chapters, I got an application on friday, so I'm going to apply. I also really wanna buy this book called "My sister's keeper" by Jodi Picoult. I heard it was really good. Today.. as in saturday.. wasn't too much of a good day, I'd rather not talk about it. Anyways stayed home all day, until about 9:30pm, I went to tim hortons to hang out with Heather. We saw Emma and chatted with her for a bit.. she's so gorgeous. I actually saw her the other day before that too. She bought chilli and gave me a bite, which made me extremely hungry.. so I bought one, and Heather and I spilt it. It was soo filling but scrumpcious. Then we got a tad bit bored so we went to SHOPPERS.. and I bought a magazine. We were gonna go, but then Heather saw some skaters and wanted to see if they were hot.. so we went back in Tim Hortons but turned out .. we saw her friend.. Melissa and Kayla. So we sat and chat with them. And not too long after we saw SHREDDYY. hahha.. and Alycia! It was so weird seeing so many people in one night, but at the same time it was fun.. at least I did something today.. I really needed to get out of the house.
Fact.
I hate it when people say they will do something then they don't.
I can't stand it when people are rude, honestly its ridiculous.
Don't take people/opportunities for granted because you'll never know what you got till its gone.
Quote of the day.
"In life we have something precious. We don't treasure it and we loose it. We don't know how bad we need it until its gone and is to far away to ever get back. We cant start over, and we wonder why we did what we did to ever lose it. Its left for a while, then it goes through a cylce. Sometimes you are given a chance to start over; but you loose it again just like you did the previous time. You can't make anything work, but most of the time you leave it and don't bother to fix it, however when you realize you did something wrong, theres nothing you can do about it."

"group" project.
Well yesterday I posted and I was soo happy about the things god was doing in my life .. and I realized that my mom isn't so woo about.. like I told her i want to go a mission's trip and she just wasn't very thrilled about it.. and that makes me really mad because, I want her to support me but she doesn't understand. To her education is everything, I mean its important if thats what god wants you to pursue but, I don't think thats what god wants for me, and if I can't convince my mom maybe thats a sign that god DOESN'T want that for me. We shall see anyways school life is bit stressful I have a group project I was supposed to do with a group and they said they would call me on sunday to do but no one called, or told me anything, so I called them at about 1pm and they just hung up on me. I didn't go to school today partially because I work up late but I was also having a bit of an off day.. yeah I don't wanna talk about it but anyways.. so I went after school to talk to that teacher that gave me the project incase I missed anything because I had that project today, and she wasn't there so then I went home and called my group members like 5 times and she didn't pick up funny thing I called one time and blocked my number and someone picked up and said she wasn't there sure thing. So I just talked to one of my group members and he said I was kicked outta the group even thought they pretty much didn't call or tell me anything, I mean how am I supposed to be part of the project if they dont include me? AIYA.

live life in the present
today .. well last night was pretty cool went out with amy to the mall to drop off a resume at sirens, I wanna work at a clothing store, then to the christian book store to check out bibles and stuff then .. to eat at taco luis.. and the guy there is EXTREMELY outgoing it quite funny but yeah. Then we walked to youth and I went to the leadership meeting which was pretty cool.. and I think I'm gonna join that because I think that God wants to do things through me so I'm tring to get involved with the church. And thats working quite well I'm in Drama and leadership, so thats cool. Tonight was pretty fun.. we played garbage can basketball.. which was fun and then we went inside to worship, which was pretty awesome.. but right now I want God to do more in my life.. I am gonna start praying for the gift of tongues, and to be slain by the holy spirit.. and I'm just gonna pray my heart out because I want it so bad and I want to change peoples lives, and pray for them. yeah.. and tonight I connect with God but I realized I want MORE and MORE and yenno I just need that extra mile.. and I am slowly on my way to get there.. and i just need to forget about the past and live in the present/future and just try to do my best in things, and try my best to be a good christian. =) and thats pretty much what I learned tonight. I'm also really excited for God to teach me things through reading the Bible.

My first time.
hello hello.
I have no idea how long I will be keeping this blog, I have like 3 sites with this kinda stuff which is really good for me because I'd rather express myself on a blog than tell the world. yenno what i mean? okayy.. but for now i'll post. okay this is my FIRST time posting which is prolly gonna be ubberly intense but we'll see how it goes..
okayy what to talk about.. well yesterday i helped jean with her photo project it was fun she put like pounds of make up on me and did me up all nice and yeahh it was pretty cool felt like a real photoshoot lol hahah. it was awesome. Later i went to the dentist at got 3 filling ohh dammn lol i gotta stop eating all that sweet stuff. Surprisingly it went by quite fast it took like 25minutes, i was like ohh my goodness I got a heck of a dentist. Well.. iuno what else to say.. i have a test last block today and i didn't study so lets see how i do. lol.
I am connecting with god lately so much more better honestly its marvelous. Reading the bible more and getting invovled with church too. I love it, but I'm kinda worried about my friends and wondering if they're connecting with god and letting him in, I mean all that have to do is GO. and when we're at church praying or if i need prayer I GO before i was a tad bit shy but i can do i'm so happy for myself.
Work is still the same.. 2 people quit and 1 person was fired.. I really think my boss needs to hire someone new because she is giving me way too much work and i can't work everyday. I hate not being able to have time for myself. I am like one of the few people that can work during the week and I have hw too so she's gonna have to ask someone else for today. AIYA.
