Reflection, The Future, and Discovery

Well, I've been reflecting on recent events, and have come to the conclusion that even though life is crazy, mean, and a little bit like a roundhouse kick to the cochlea, that it can also be amazing, breathtaking, and as sweet as putting a tablespoon of sugar in with your Sunny D.

Alot has happened to me over the past while, some of it amazing, some of it not so awesome. But I know that whatever life hands me, I can take, because God never leads you anywhere you can't get out of.

I have had the pleasure of knowing of the best friends that I've ever had. Her name is Haley. She walked into my life a few years ago, grade 9 I believe, and we've been friends ever since. We Rockbanded together, we went through good and bad times together, we even went to Wall-E in the Barrhead theater together just because we're that pro. She's part of the ninja brotherhood, the Barrhead Mafia, and she laughed at all my stupid jokes. We were even gonna be grad partners.

But then, some stuff happened at school I guess, and she moved to the Fort for whatever reason, and I haven't really had a chance to talk to her since. And while this is hurting me, I can't imagine how it's hurting her, and that makes me forget even my own pain.

I still think of us as great friends, but I can't get a hold of her, and yeah......

Anyway, I also have so many other aweosme friends, and I am so greatful for each and every one of them. Without friends, no one could ever weather any storm. With or without God, but especially without Him.

On the other side of things, I've been practicing guitar, learning some awesome new stuff, and now my long awauted goal of forming a youth worship team for my church is even coming together, and far better and easier than I expected. We're learning some awesome new songs, I'm bringing in a unique perspective to worship, especially for my church, and I'm also learning a few things.

You see, worship in my church has always been...well...not the best. 8 times outta 10 it's way too slow, the wrong pitch, the wrong beat, and just way too difficult to sing to, which kinda destroys the whole worship thing. What I hope to achieve with this is to, long term, get the church at least keeping the right tempo. I really want to bring my all into this, and I know it won't be easy, although probably easier than first expected, and I'll probably meet resistance, but bring it on.

Also, my future, I think for one of the first times in my life, is coming together. I plan on going to NAIT in Edmonton to do Culinary Arts, eventually go to Greece or somewhere there to study under some awesome cooks, and I'm finally going for my driver's license again on Wednesday. WOOT

Everything feels right, like it's falling into place. At least in that area.

So yeah, that's more or less what's been on my chest for the past while here.
