YC... and other random topics of course

This year at YC (huge youth convention for those of you not from Alberta) was a first for me, but hopefully not my last. It was INCREDIBLE! I got to see David Crowder, Delirious, Lincoln Brewster (of whom I am now a huge fan =D), Rebecca St. James, Hillsong United, Skillet, Leeland, Decyfer Down, and Hawk Nelson! I missed the TobyMac concert though cause we had to leave early. =P Ah well, I can't really complain. The speakers were amazing too! Mike Pilavachi was the main speaker (funny man), and Phil Dooley and Joyce (Heron) Rees also spoke. And I went to one session by Mike Love called God's Dreams and You. Very impacting, and it definitely leads into this next paragraph.

Question. Why can't God just show me one plan for my life and keep it the same? I don't know what I'm supposed to do anymore! I love missions, and I love Africa, but I'm starting to wonder if that's really where God wants me or if it's just something that I want. Or maybe I'm supposed to go overseas for short-term trips, but not long term.? I have this passion that has seemed to grow and bloom since coming back here. A passion for letting the youth of today know how severe the need is in so many countries to hear the Gospel. They aren't being told! Their heads are being filled with "Yes, the need is there overseas, but if you don't feel "called" (that term really irritates me, btw), there is lots to do here too". Uhg! So many youth are using that as a cop-out to stay in their comfortable little worlds. They don't understand how intense the need is! One song that we sang at YC said that "This is an emergency". That's not how the churches are looking at it! They're telling kids that they can go if they feel "called" but that it's not really necessary. That's another thing. We're ALL called!!! No one should be waiting for a "call"! The Bible says that as Christians we are to spread the Good News to all nations. Is that not clear enough?! This generation needs to know that this is an EMERGENCY, that they can't just sit around and wait for things to happen! They need to step out of their comfort zones and DO something! *Ok Lisa, calm down...* Kind of intense right now... What's stopping me from doing all this now? I don't really know. Maybe it's the fear of how people will take it, because I know that it wouldn't be very well received in some places. Or maybe it's the fear of not knowing what to say, or that I won't be able to answer the questions that are asked of me. It all comes down to fear I guess. I'll keep praying, and I'd appreciate it if you'd all keep me in your prayers too. =)

Hey, I was bored... =D

You Should Drive a Red Car

You're the type of driver who isn't afraid to be the fastest on the road. You have a lot of energy built up, and you tend to get your adrenaline fix from driving. Moving at hyper speed, you tend to be annoyed with slow drivers and slow people. Life's too short to be slowed down by someone else!

What Color Car Should You Drive?

Your Driving Is is: 44% Male, 56% Female

According to studies, you drive both like a guy and a girl. This means you're a pretty average driver, with typical quirks. Occasionally you're frustrated and or a little reckless, but that's the exception - not the norm.

Do You Drive Like a Guy or a Girl?

Sheep shearing

Now THAT was an experience! I think that this summer is going to be full of "firsts", but that's quite all right. I love learning new things and having new experiences. Friday morning I came into the house at 8:30 like I always do and Alice told me right off the bat that my job for that day was going to be to go out to another farm and help with the sheep shearing. I was thinking "Great! I get to meet some new people and learn how to do something I've never done before!" It was definitely interesting. =) We got there at about 10 o'clock and I was put right to work. There were two men shearing the sheep, and the set up that they had was incredible. I'll post some pictures once I get them off of the camera. Anyways, these two guys were shearing, and after a sheep was sheared they sent it off into a small holding pen where they would get their immunizations. Someone would take the fleece and throw it onto this "table", which was more of a wire mesh. The idea was that you throw the fleece out flat and then pat it down and the manure is supposed to fall through. Yeah, doesn't work very often. My first job was to go through all of that fleece and pick out the manure. Not the first thing I would have chosen to do, but hey, I'm tough, I can deal with touching that crap. ;) After the fleece is "clean" they roll it up and throw it into these huge bags, and then someone jumps into the bag and stomps it down till it's quite solid. That was what I ended up doing for most of the rest of the day and for the couple hours that I was there Saturday morning. It may sound like a boring job, but I had SO much fun!!! It made a big difference that the people I was working with were awesome. I think the that the company you're around makes or breaks the job. =)

We were almost done the 250 sheep when I left at about 10:30 Saturday morning (I'd been there since 8) to go to Edmonton for a wedding. Well, Calgary and then to Three Hills on Saturday and then on to Westlock (which is north of Edmonton) on Sunday. We got there just as the wedding party was about to go in, and it was an absolutely beautiful wedding!!! Sara looked incredible. =) We stayed for the reception which started at 5, and then headed down to Justin's parents place for the night (they live about an hour and a bit away from Westlock). I had to be in Calgary at 2 on Monday, so we were up and off at 9:30 Monday morning. I was in Calgary just before 2 and then we were off to Burdett soon afterwards. We got back at about 6:30ish, and boy was I ready to be out of the car!!! That was a lot of driving for just a few days. And I'm off to Edmonton again tomorrow! Mark has a speech contest on Saturday, and I'm going to be going to YC, so it's going to be a super sweet weekend. =D I'm pretty sure that we're going to hit the water park at the West Ed on Friday before YC starts. That'll be another first for me, and I'm SO excited!!! =D I'm sure I'll have a lot more to write about when I get back. ;)

Working out feels amazing... afterwards

I figured out today that it's been almost 2 months since I've consciously done anything for exercise. But I ran today for 1/2 an hour (and by ran I mean that I speed walked for 3 minutes, ran for 2, etc), and boy did it ever feel good!!! However, I think that I may currently be counteracting the effects of it. It is 11:16pm and I'm eating my supper of leftover Kraft Dinner and meatballs. Not exactly the healthiest choice, but hey, I was hungry! =)

Oo, I just remembered! I got to see a calf being born today! Definitely a first for me, and it was exciting. =) Ok ok, so small things excite me. What would life be without those little things?

So I should probably get in the shower and go to bed. I do have to work tomorrow after all. But I'm going to a Bible study in the evening with a gal that I met at church on Sunday, so that should be nice. =) Looking forward to it!

64 DAYS TILL I GO TO TOGO

My own space...

Yes, I finally moved out of the house, and boy does it ever feel good. Last night I moved all of my stuff from the house to the trailer that the Schussler's have parked outside. And of course it was last night that there was a storm and it got cold. =P I have electricity, but no heat, so needless to say I was pretty cold. It's just nice to have somewhere I can go to get out of the house, and I don't have to hear people moving around in the morning, etc. I'm also going to start eating breakfast alone rather than coming to the house.

Church this morning was so long! 2 1/2 hours to be exact. Well, including the time that we spent talking afterwards. =) The pastor did a sermon on mother's day, and after that a team that went to Mexico in April did a presentation that took about an hour. Ok, something that I've been thinking about for a while... Does it seem like more and more pastor's are preaching more from what other people have written rather than directly from the Bible? What is going to happen in our churches if Scripture isn't made applicable? It's going to become something that we read because we're Christians and it's God's Word, but we won't apply it to our every day lives or even understand how to. How are my kids going to grow up? Are they going to understand the importance and significance of Scripture in their lives? How am I to teach them that if the church isn't equipping me?

I don't really know where all that came from... Guess I have a lot more questions that need answered than I realized. How am I going to help the church? What role does God have for me in all this? As weird as this may sound, I'm actually beginning to think that just maybe God doesn't want me to go overseas as soon as I'm done at Prairie. I'd still love to, but is that what He's calling me to? I was first confronted with this a few months ago during a missions conference that was held at Prairie. One thing in particular that the speaker said that stuck out to me was that we should all be preparing to go but be willing to stay. Am I willing? I feel a burden for the youth of today. How can I help them? Can I use my experience of living in a "foreign" country to reach out to them and help them become aware of the need? Am I called to stay here and raise up missionaries rather than go myself? I just don't know anymore, and if you know me at all, you'll know that I hate feeling like this. There's a whole lot of prayer that will be going on in the coming months. Oh wait, for the rest of my life! Seriously, I don't know where this came from... I wasn't even really thinking about it until I started writing. Maybe God's trying to tell me something... Or maybe I'm getting ahead of things. I don't know...

You're probably sick of reading this by now, so I'll sign off... I kinda strayed from my original reason for writing... =}

Day in Bow Island

Ah yes, the "big" town that's near us. Not really. I'm guessing that it's about the same size as Three Hills or so. Anyways, I thought that I was going to be going in for a nice relaxing day away from the farm. Alice had asked me to come in with them because she had some work to do and the kids had dentist appointments. We finally left the house at about 9:30 this morning and went to the dentist for their 10 o'clock appointments. I was also planning on getting passport pictures taken for my Togo visas as well as getting a police check done for my Wycliffe Canada application. I went to the only place in town where they might do passport pictures and was told that I'd have to go to the city to get those done. After the kids were done at the dentist (at about 10:30ish) we went looking for the police station. Mark said that he knew where it was, but considering the amount of time that it took us, and the fact that we had to stop and ask someone, I don't really believe him. ;) Anyways, I go in there with three kids and told the lady that I needed a police check done and why, and handed over my driver's liscence. She looked at it a promptly told me that they couldn't do it there because my address was a Calgary address and that they would have to do a local check and she couldn't access Calgary's files! =P Oh man, that did NOT make me happy. So after that little ordeal I headed over to the library with the kids, where we stayed until almost 1. Then Alice came and picked us up and took us to the park where the kids were going to practice their play that they're doing on Father's day, or something like that. I basically just sat and read all afternoon, which was lovely. Later on we walked back into town to get some Slurpies, and then back to the park. On our way back to the park Alice drove by (she'd had to go do some more work) and told us that she was going to be at least another hour (this was at about 3:45). So we headed back to the library. The thing was, I wasn't planning on being in the sun today, and I didn't bother to put sunscreen on (cause I always do... *sarcasm*). I've got a burn on top of my burn, and it hurts like the Dickens! Ah well... I guess it'll turn into a tan soon enough. =) And that I won't complain about. ;) Especially for the wedding next weekend...

Oh, the wedding! I am thoroughly looking forward to next weekend!!! I'm going to get to go up to Edmonton with one of my good friends (Justin) to go to Sarah and Lee's wedding! I didn't think I'd be able to go, but then things just kinda fell into place for it to happen. =) I'm so excited!!! Not to mention the fact that I get to see people again. ;) No, it's not really all that bad living on the farm. I just miss having my personal space and people around all the time. I honestly feel like a live in babysitter/servant. Tommy actually told me yesterday that I was basically their servant. =P Ah well. I just have to stick it out for another... 8ish weeks. =) And then I get to go home!!! Yay!!! =D

There's a cat walking in front of the screen....

Great weekend

I thought that I was going to miss my bus from Calgary to Burdett yesterday, but managed to get on at 2:01 (the bus was supposed to leave at 2). Thanks for driving me Justin! Other than the little panic "attack" that I had before that, the weekend was absolutely wonderful. =D So relaxing... I didn't have to do anything, and I was even served my meals. ;) I did help with making them (somewhat) and clean up though. lol.

Today has been pretty busy as far as getting stuff done. I set my alarm for 7 this morning but fell asleep again after I turned it off. Ended up getting up at about 8ish. After breakfast I organized the games cupboard (which had been driving me nuts since I got here!), and made lunch. After lunch I washed the van, made baked oatmeal, and got tea ready for Opa and his guest (who's name I don't remember). Then I had tea with them and finished cleaning up the kitchen. Busy busy! Now I'm just taking a break. =) I'll probably tackle the kitchen cupboards next, we'll see. I'm actually pretty tired after all that. Maybe I'll fall asleep faster tonight than I did last night... Guess I'll find out! =)

If any of you reading this would mind, I've got a couple of prayer requests. One, pray that everything will fall into place for me to go to Togo this summer. There have been a few complications, which I think are being worked out, but I'm not sure where we're at with them. Also, please pray that the finances will come in for the trip. I don't know what I would do if I couldn't go... Thanks for all your support and prayers! I really appreciate them! =)

Summer busyness... or not

Well, the school year is over and I'm on to my summer plans. I thought that it was going to be busy, but as of yet I'm somewhat bored. =P I'm living on a farm just outside of Burdett (or Bow Island, whichever one), babysitting and helping around the house. How am I going to survive without my social life?! It's tough going from living in dorms to living on a farm in the middle of nowhere with no vehicle. =P But I'll live. I'm in Three Hills right now visiting friends, cause I was definitely going stir crazy. I'm gonna have to get used to it... Anyways, going to get food now!
