Tomorrow, March 25th, will be the day that commemorates one year of being self-injury free. I haven't been this proud of myself in a while.... |

I was thinking a lot last night and today and I've come to a few conclusions. I've been having a few problems with relating to God. A big thing for me is understanding stuff, which sucks cause thats IMPOSSIBLE with God. Too much, too big, too awesome... and I get that. God is a huge part of my life, I pray, I talk to him, I'm starting to read my bible, etc. I need to get over the fact that God is not a "thing" or a tangible. My whole life, whenever I thought of God I got this picture of this huge guy like zeus with the lightning bolt and white hair or the hollywood Jesus thing (white, long brown hair and beard...) I hate that. I don't wanna worship some big figure head that makes me think of charlton heston. I'm starting to get over it, but its really hard. I have to realize that God is everything, everything around me, everything I see, everything I don't see. I have no doubt that God is there, I can't deny it, I've felt him and seen him work..... So why does this all feel weird now? When I'm by myself praying, it's cool, I'm basically fine and I can relate. But when I get in a group it feels like everything changes, I don't know why. I'll keep praying about it.
I like how I can upload pictures on this blog now so I'm gonna keep doing that. Here's me and Meredith in Hawaii. I miss her...

I think God's speaking to me today. I've been writing a bunch (just the kinda thing where you just keep writing whatever comes to mind without stopping). Today's the 11th month free of self-injury for me, I just realized that while sitting in church. It's weird cause I didn't really know who to tell or remind. I guess this blog is the first thing I've mentioned it on. Most of the youth were on a snowboard trip today (most of my friends, so I couldn't tell them) and I went out for lunch today with 2 other friends, one of which who knows and the other I've refrained from telling for now. I'll probably share my testimony in march at youth or something. Anyway, today was a pretty good day, but just in the past hour or so, I've been feeling kind of weird. Basically getting impulses for various things, dwelling on them and stopping myself, asking myself what's wrong with me. God, what I am I doing? I've lost focus. Have I become too busy for you? What a dumb question. He is the basis of my life. Why should I be putting him on hold? I've also lost confidence in my self appearance. My skin's a big issue. But why should I care? I suppose I'm only human. I know I'm tired and I know I have a lot of things coming up, but I don't want to sleep tonight.
On a lighter note, my basketball team won fraser valleys. When we got the trophy I held onto it the whole time and eventually brought it home. (haha) We'll be going to provincials in 2 weeks along with the boys (they came 3rd). We'll be going up to kamloops on a bus with them, which will be a gong show...
Here's me cutting a piece of the net down...
I think I just need to relax a little, and let God take over... |

I kinda miss updating this thing. Sooo that's what I'm gonna do. I just bought the new Underoath cd (Define the great line) and I love it! Its so amazing. I don't know what it is about their music but I feel so alive when I listen to it and I can totally worship too. If you aren't really into screamo/hardcore music, check out their lyrics on the web anyways cause they'll hit you hard. Underoath is coming to Vancouver next month on the 18th. Pretty sure, I wanna go. They're way up there with Thrice on my list now. I heard an old Thrice song in west 49 today and my ears perked. It made me happy at the time. "see you in the shallows" it was called. Anyway, I bought a thicker winter jacket today cause I'm going to saskatchewan next year.
Frasier Valley playoffs are this week. Our basketball team is going in as number one, so that's pretty sweet. I think we're also 2nd in the province, which is also pretty exciting. I think I'm enjoying basketball now. Maybe because I know now that it's ending soon....
Ask me questions.. I'm bored these days... |

Check out this band ----> http://www.purevolume.com/blackrain
All of the comments are stuff like "you guys are amazing" or "I love your sound!". THIS BAND BLOWS! Are these people deaf or are they blinded by the physical beauty of the singer? Tell me what you think.... |

I'm graduating from high school this year. It's not really the actual graduating part I'm anxious/excited about right now though, it's planning what I'm going to do next year and years to come. I've decided to go to Briercrest college in Caronport, SK. (assuming I'm going to get in) I'm planning to do a two year music program (Associate in music). I've been trying to arrange this for a few months now, but just tonight did I realize what I'm really in for. I didn't realize that it's a "bubble" kind of atmosphere. No piercings, no tattoos, no social dancing, gotta go to chapel/church all the time, etc. I feel that God's been wanting me to go there for some time, but now it's a little more taxing on my mind knowing that this experience is going to be a little out of my kinda norm. I just hope that the music I play/learn/make isn't too conservative christian. I think you know what I mean...
On that note, I'm going to see Rise against, anti-flag, moneen and billy talent on Friday!!!!
I'm excited.

Last night, it hit me how much is going on in my life right now, but the strange thing is, I've dealt with this kinda stuff before (almost with ease). I have a mass load with biology/math/school etc. because the semester is ending. I'm also heading into inferno mode with basketball (middle of the season), and it'll get insane pretty quick. It's not like I've never had a basketball crazy basketball season or a large school pile up, but its just getting to me now. Maybe because it's grade 12, I couldn't tell ya.
Official top 5 bands:
1.Thrice
2.Refused
3.Pedro the lion
4.Rise Against
5.Sigur ros |
