Soccer Champs

My soccer team had a tournament this past weekend in Moose Jaw. We played 4 games total. We made it to the Champoinship game which ended in a tie so we went to overtime, which still ended in a tie and then we went to a shoot out. It was pretty intense. Michelle played goalie during that shoot out and let me tell you she is a stone wall. Nothing got past her. It was awesome. So needless to say we WON!!! It's about time. I am so happy I could cry.

Disaster


Ok so I've had this craving for Creme Caramel (Flan) this week, so I looked up a recipe online and today I decided to make it. It really did not look too hard at all. It was only supposed to bake for 45min but mine was still runny after 2 hours of sitting in the oven. So i turned up the temp and it ended up looking like some pancake experiment gone wrong. And it doesn't taste right either. So needless to say I was pretty disappointed.
After my YQ weekend I got crazy sick, it must have been from the lack of sleep, or post YQ i know it's post YQ (haha just for you Janet & Chantal). Anyway I had a pretty high fever on Monday night and Michelle came and took care of me putting wet clothes on my head and came to check up on me periodically. So I basically spent 3 days in bed, but now I feel a lot better. I am still stuffed up and congested but I am back to my witty self again. I know you all missed that! haha
Chantal you can move back in our room anytime now. I miss my roommate! Don't get too attached Janet, it's just a loan for now!!

Youth Quake 2007 - Freefall

So YQ was basically insane. I think they should remname it to SD for Sleep Deprivation! It was a super fun weekend, but incredibly busy. I only got a couple hours sleep on Friday night because I was up editing, then had to get up early to tape some more events and then edit those as well. I got a bit of a break at one point so I had a 40min. nap. And then I taped the Downhere concert on Saturday night and then I was done. But we stayed up until 4am because I hadn't eally gotten a chance to hang out with my wonderful friends who came down for YQ! So that was a really fun night! I was sad to see them go.

Age is only a number

People say Bible School is a great place of maturity. I guess I missed the boat on that one!

Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. Do not put out the Spirit's fire; do not treat prophecies with contempt. Test everything. Hold onto the good. Avoid every kind of evil. May God Himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful and He will do it.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-24

God is here and working in the lives of students and faculty here at Briercrest! God's got some seriously big plans for us. Please pray that everyone will continue to be sensitive to the spirit's working. It's been an amazing semester for me so far. God is definetely showing me a lot of things in my life that need work and we're working on them together. Also pray for the youth that are coming out in a couple weeks for Youth Quake, that they will be able to feel the presence of God here as we have, and that they will embrace all that He has for them.
Thanks for your prayers!

Clipper's Soccer

My soccer team is pretty darn cool. Most sports teams dress up nice for classes that day before they head out to a tournament, but my team we dress up 80's style. It was tons of fun. We had spagetti night together and watched Back to the Future! Good times!
Our tournament went well. I was so ecstatic to finally play, we've spent the first part of the year just practicing, so it was good to finally get out there!! My coaches were laughing pretty hard while they were watching me play because they were like of my word she is so intense and does not smile. So not Jacquie. I get a little intense when it comes to sports. I started smiling more after I got my first goal though!! It was a really fun weekend bonding with my team mates, on the court and off (Especially in the showers!!). I have a pretty blue swollen ankle right now from some girl who kicked me (I got her back don't worry). But that didn't stop me, I still played a couple games on it, and scored!
