Wow...it's been a coon's age since I've posted on here. Today I had to fly home from school when my molar decided it wanted to chip and practically fall out of my head. So here I am, typing away with a temporary filling; awaiting a root canal and crown at my next dentist visit...fun fun.

I missed being in pre-con this week but seeing the amazing sunset today calmed my anxious soul. Only God can leave you breathless and full of words of praise all at once...truly He is awesome.

Dear friends where ever you are in life....I miss you terribly and I would like to apologize yet further for not keeping in contact with many of you. Life and God takes each of us down our separate paths sometimes but it is not always easy to accept. I have neglected to send a greeting to you guys, failed to simply say hi and see how you're all doing but I have never stopped praying for you all and thanking the Lord for bringing you all into my life. Until I am more mentally and emotionally stable, please accept this blog as my way of reaching out as best I can right now and know that I love you all and am constantly thinking of you all. God is working with me, chipping away at me, molding me for His glory and in that I have confidence. Right now it's just hard to deal with but knowing I have my Father and the friendships within the church is such a blessing.

Thank you for hearing me out again...I don't mean to be so negative but I wanted to say sorry, hi and thank you.

your sister in Christ first,

Heidi

Sparkle snow hath arrived! Wow it's been ages since I've posted on here. In the meantime my dear chickies Amber, Tara and Danielle had a rocking party for their birthdays. Gobstopper launches, good tunes, delicious cupcakes....what's not to love?

God has really shown me just how much you can rely on Him to bring you through some tough times you may be having. Some people might read this and think that I'm being too personal online but I don't care. I'm dealing with clinical depression and I just wanted to set aside some myths about it as well as any stigmas. Depression can be environmental (linked by certain events) or hereditary. It has nothing to do with your faith as some people may believe and sometimes you're depressed "just because"....which is me. I'd like to apologize for neglecting and avoiding many of you dear friends because you guys have been there for me, pointing me towards the Lord every step of the way. So sorry and thank you. Ahh feels good to get that off my chest so my  recent actions can be better explained.

My sister Heather and Nick Lodder got engaged recently too!! Yay that was super exciting...first kid to get married in our family.

School's great so far! I got my nails done today...snazzy.

Everyone nearly done their gift-shopping?

yay

 Pretty sure the CYA retreat was amazing! The speakers were excellent, the discussion groups were superb, the food exquisite, and the people very people-like . *There's something more dangerous than fighting in a battle; that's to think there isn't one* and *There's something worse than committing murder; to think that it's ok* are just two of the phrases that stuck with me. One of the texts that kept coming up was Romans 12:1,  "Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—His good, pleasing and perfect will."

That can be so hard...or at least it is for me. There were some really encouraging texts given and perspective on what our role in life is.

So I started school this past Monday; so far so good. It still seems somewhat vague as to what we're supposed to be doing. As long as I look like I'm brushing my mannequin's hair I think I'll be ok  My bag of stuff they gave me is almost as big as me!! Whoa

*It's gonna be a bright, bright, sunshiney day*

A hearty "good Thursday ma'ams and sirs" to each and everyone of you. I START SCHOOL NOVEMBER 6!!!! Sorry for shouting at you all but I couldn't contain myself. Since dad's summer of unemployment, we're still getting our feet back on the ground so school had to be postponed for a bit. This means I'll get to play with dolls, do hair, and be taught how to make things beautiful...this sounds like something a little girl of 2 years is taught; "boys play with trucks and cars and girls play with dolls". Weird. My dolls just happen to cost a truckload and I get to cut and colour etc on them. Barrie here I come! When Andrew, in boyish confusion, asked me why I wanted to do hair after highschool, I simply asked him what it was about landscaping that caught his attention. "Well, I love to take something that needs work done on it; something plain or ugly and watch it turn into something beautiful. It's a fulfilling feeling seeing something go through that kind of transformation." Laughing, I told him that I couldn't have said it better myself about hairdressing.

So yesterday Opa and I went to town to get quotes from the hardware stores to see which store would be cheaper for our bathroom renovation. Whodathunk that looking at showers, toilets, sinks, flooring and such could be so intriguing? Personally, I found his GPS in his truck to be more spell-binding. Man, those things are nice!

Pre-con again tonight . Worked on my drawing yesterday. Do you guys ever give up working on something because you know that you'll never be satisfied with the results and that you'll keep working at perfecting something until you've ruined it?

Well I must be off...so in case I don't see ya, "Good afternoon, good evening and goodnight!" *Truman Show for loyal viewers lol
