Do you know that feeling you get a concert? It's not about how well you sing, it's about how loud you sing. All you want to do is scream the lyrics as much as loud as you can. It's freeing.
I just spent my evening rocking out to Starfield with two of my younger cousins. It was their very first concert. They didn't even know any Starfield songs. They screamed their first screams. They clapped theif first high claps. And they jumped and fist pumped for the very first time. The thing that was most worth it though was the smiles on their faces.
Tonight was awesome. It was freeing. It was beautiful.
Song of the Moment: Burn For You by Starfield (I'll burn, burn like a fire. I'll burn, with love and desire. I'll burn, I'll burn for you.)
Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.

Thank You
It seems that I have become accustomed to having a bi-annual thanksgiving day post. So here I am. Another long weekend come and gone. And I have just got to say that it was fantastic.
For starters I went back to my much loved community centre where I did placement last year. Than I spent the night with my best friend. I saw my dad's side of the family Saturday and my mom's side Sunday.
I had some really great bonding moments with my family this year. Lately I have been feeling so un-crazy (for lack of a better term) that I feel my relationships are becoming much healthier. I've got to say, when you are 100% comfortable with who you are and confident in your future (no matter what God is going to throw at you) you are less jumpy, less distracted, and less moody.
Are you ready for the list? Because here it is.
1. My family. Extended and not. They are awesome. Of course, sometimes they really grate my nerves, but you know what, it keeps things interesting. They have been so supportive and willing to help lately and I feel so loved.
2. My new school. It's pretty awesome here. I keep thanking God that I get to studying my two passions: social work and Him.
3. My roommates. They are a pretty wonderful bunch. For one, they've been very helpful in getting me settled in to school. Also, they make me laugh...and smile...and other stuff.
4. Pie. Pie is a truly wonderful thing. Crunchy and carby on the outside, sweet and fruity on the inside. Genius combo. I really like pie (I ate 6 pieces this weekend).
There are lots of other things I'm thankful for but I won't make you read them all, because that would take a while. You know, last thanksgiving my pastor gave a sermon where he said the following:
"What if tomorrow you only had what you thanked God for today?"
Tonight I would like to encourage you to take some time with God. Sit down, make a list of the things you're thankful for and bring it to God. You would be amazed at what you get out of it.
