roadtrips!!!

Firstly I have to tell you all.. go out and get yourself a nectarene.. they are so good.


secondly.. this past weekend i enjoyed the lovely Mellisa Enns' company while we travelled together on the roadtrip of terror to edmonton and back for Carol-Lynne Atkey's (now Quinn) wedding.. (Ashley you owe me your firstborn for not showing up.) Definantly got lost in Vegreville.. it's like a black hole.. avoid it at all costs. I learned that despite what some people may say.. I am a good driver.. whenever I go out of town with people and we're in a larger city.. I always end up driving... so I am a good driver.. despite what some of my youth group freaking thinks. I was a candle lighter at this wedding.. only to arrive and find out.. that Mellisa and I had to light about I dunno.. 50ish candles each.. they were even along the aisle.. my biggest fear was walking down this aisle.. bending over to light a candle.. only to fall over because this thing is on a fairly good slant... and end up lighting everything on fire... by the time I got to the last candles. my hands were shaking like mad. Overall it was a pretty sweet wedding.. had a Braveheart/music theme.. Carol-Lynne looked extravagantly gorgeous.. uhm other than that the trip involved getting lost a whole freaking lot. It was great!
but i'm going to bed.
peace.

...what

This week has certainly proved to be interesting..
Thursday was a really hard day.. travelled out to the accident site and then the cemetary to just lay flowers and take time to remember the girls with a few friends.. and while out there being awkwardly hit on by my one friend.. the next night i was required at the Legion because i was involved in putting on a show there.. only to run into Jesse.. the driver of the car.. then to go back inside to see my friend Matt who survived.. and then go back outside to see John.. another guy from the crash.. then to travel back inside to see one of the girls sister.. it was a tension filled night.. Saturday was full of work.. and movie watching with friends.. then late night talks about Jesus/life.. Today was full of church goodness picnics and rumaging through the bushes with Daniel.. because he insists on making his own trails through the grossest bushes I've ever seen.. all moss/fungus covered.. it was so disgusting.. but I got a pretty good picture out of it.. (see picture above.) but of course the day had to have something in it to make me truely appreciate the awesomeness of the rest of my day.. and todays bad part was brought to you by going to work.. basically.. what happened is that we ended up closing three hours early because the one guy (who has worked there for two months) screwed everything up so bad that three tables left and the earliest a delivery got out was 77 minutes. and everything was a complete mess and not only the waitress was going to walk out.. but my manager was aswell.. and I was due to follow. I basically had to pull super pro pizza-maker-kid to save the freaking day. Honestly this kid doesn't even know what fettechini (sp?) noodles are.. it was so frustrating.. and God so saved the day by providing me with enough self restraint and strength to make it through work without stabbing people and with the ability to get things done..
but over all.. it was good.. and my Dad took care of the bad parts.. so it was pretty sweet...


anyways that was the update.
peace.

June 15th.

Take three minutes.

up...to the date... or something..

Holy man I haven't been at this in awhile..
I've been pretty busy lately.. started back at work.. only to end up missing my second and third shift due to my friend passing away and then the funeral.. then I have finals coming up so my weeks have been full of reviews and studying at school.. working at getting my photo's (*pic's here*) into the local gallery... and then if I'm not at school or work or doing endless running around I'm at church.. and if I choose to procastinate I'm out with friends.. life has been busy.. and God has been good.. I don't really know what else to say.. I've been constantly learning how to be living a life based upon truth and not just be chasing after emotions and temporary highs.. how to properly deal with my 'failures'.. and uhm a few other things.. but i gotta go to bed.. just figured i'd give a lil' update..

peace,
Eliza

Is it possible.. to be in the middle of a crowd.. yet be so utterly alone?
For the past few days it's how I've been feeling..
Today was especially hard, sitting in this foriegn school.. hearing whispers surrounding my friends death.. and there I sat.. the only one who actually knew him.. I've never felt so alone in my life.
But the age old truth is that we're not alone.
My Father has me.. and He isn't going to abandon me.. He understands my pain, my heart.. and now that I'm again facing a season of being stripped of my crutches.. He's becoming my everything.. I'm learning that He alone is sufficient..

June..month of tragedy

Well, it sure has been awhile since I posted anything..
The past two weeks have been full of blessing and sorrow.. I was able to see Jane and Delia and that was a pretty big blessing.. nothing much happened i pretty much.. went to school.. and then did nothing.. just relaxed and hung out with friends.. which was pretty sweet.. but today I learned that a friend of mine whom I grew up with died last night.. I was pretty much at a loss as to what I should be doing with myself for most of the day.. I think one of the worst things anyone has to do is tell someone that a friend/relative has died.. a couple of my friends just got back into town and I had to tell them.. and the five of us just ended up going to our church.. and my one friend played piano/sang and the rest of us just.. worshipped/prayed.. and for the first.. in what seems like long time.. I danced. and I ended up just collapsing on the floor and it felt as though I fell into my Fathers arms and collapsed against His chest.. and things may hurt now.. and seem all dark.. but in that moment.. I found hope.. and assurance that things will be okay.. because my Father fights for the good of those who love Him..

please pray..
