| long, long time ago, i can still remember
well.. it certainly has been an extrememly looong time since i blogged
anywhere.... (which is what i wrote last time i blogged here in
december...)
okay.. well... let's see.. where do i start?
i think i'll go backwards.. easier that way.. although i'll have a lot of
mixed thoughts when i remember random things... so bear with me =P
kk... just started my second year at UWO. because i didn't do well enough
in music history last year im only in the bachelor of musical arts program
instead of the bachelor of music honours in education... it's alright though...
i'll do my best to get into the honours program =D so right now im taking
whatever courses that all the second year music students need to take... which
is : music theory, music history, sightsinging, keyboard harmony, dictation,
lesson, ensemble (orchestra), and my music elective for education is
instruments... im learning flute and guitar (classical) this term and in second
term i'll be learning clarinet and percussion =D can't wait to learn more
instruments!!! so those are my music courses.. my non music elective is second
year french grammar... it's... not as interesting as i would like it to be...
and it's so early in the morning... but it's just grammar so i can't really do
anything about it.... i just need to do well in it so that it can go towards my
minor =)
the university just hired a new viola teacher cuz the one from last year
moved to chicago so she wouldn't have to go back and forth all the time for
performances... so the new teacher... someone from windsor apparently... he's
really nice.. im still getting used to the way he teaches... but i guess he
didn't really give me a good first impression of himself to me... so i really
dont know how i feel... i'm giving it time... give him a chance... patience
=)
i think that's about it for academics... next is house i guess
when i came back to london to move in, there was still someone living in
our house so i just put down my stuff and locked my room door and met up with
muriel and michelle... slept over at their house for 2 nights... had a lot of
fun cooking, writing a birthday song and just talking about the randomest things
=D then on the monday i went to campus to get my bus pass and to meet up with 2
of my housemates... lilian and jess.. we had a lot of fun just going around...
to the music building to sign up for auditions for ensembles and going home to
summit 14 for the first time... we had a lot of cleaning to do and the person
was still in our house so it was really hard to deal with at first but we did
it! we cleaned and we moved things to the garage (stuff we didn't want), and
cleaned some more...
i went over to my roommates' house for dinner.. then came back and jess and
lil were still cleaning so i joined in.. eventually we called it a night and
went to bed... the next day was more cleaning and moving.. and we did some
shopping too.. and while we were shopping, viv moved in.. the 3 of us didn't get
home till late so we didn't really talk much before going to bed but we had to
figure out how viv was gonna sleep cuz her room hadn't been cleaned yet.. so she
slept in lil's room for about a week and a bit i think... there was mold
and lotsa bugs in the basement room so we didn't want viv to sleep there...
we asked the landlady to change the carpet in the downstairs washroom and in the
basement to hardwood floor and the lights needed to be changed as well... our
landlady is great!! she did all of these things.. and even gave us mooncakes for
mid-autumn festival!!
i think im gonna stop here.... just called home and feeling kinda homesick
='( | | |

| Prayer Nov 12/07Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You for sending Lei and Jenny to me. I needed help in understanding Your Word. I know now that I believe in Christ Jesus, that You sent Him to die on the cross for my sins. Thank You Lord for all You've done and will continue to do for me and everyone on earth. I will praise You and I will follow You all of my days. You had a plan for me when You sent me here to Western. There are so many brothers and sisters to help me on my walk with You. I want my faith to become stronger in You. And with the family You have given me, I know I can. I believe that I am here for a reason, not just to study music but to know You more. I may still have many problems beginning my path as Your follower but I know that You will never give up on me and I will not give up on myself. I will do my best to praise You in all I do. Open the eyes of my heart, Lord, I want to see You. I pray that Breanne's niece, Addy, recovers from her surgery and that she will be able to do the things You have planned for her. She's young but has already gone through such a difficult stage in her life. Please take care of her. Also, I pray that my sister and brother will come to know You as I have found You. Use me to talk to them if they will listen. Give me the courage so that I may be able to tell the world that I believe. I want to be able to share what You have done in my life. Even if it is by writing and by singing. Everyone here at Western ACF is so nice and caring. Even if they don't know me, they make an effort to know you. This is Your work in them. Continue to bless everyone in ACF and on campus and in the world. Show them Your love through Your disciples. Thank You so much for everything You've done in my life. I want to know You more. I don't know what else to write. But You know what is in my heart. Things that is hard for me to put into words. Thank You for loving me. Thank You for having me as Your daughter. Thank You for bringing me to this place. Thank You for everything. Keep Muriel safe as she travels back to London for class tomorrow. Bring everyone back safely. Also, place Your hand upon all those with troubles in their hearts. Help them. Let them know that You are there. Show them. Guide them through their trials. Give them the strength to carry on.
Lord God, what do You want me to do with music? I feel as if I don't know anything. I feel as if I don't have the right push.. the right.... motivation.. to practice and to study. Is this what You want me to do? I don't have enough confidence still. I don't remember why I didn't talk until grade 8. I don't know the reason. Was it for the attention? Or was it because I was scared and shy? I never know what to tell people when they ask me. Is that the reason why I have such a hard time putting my thoughts into words? Is my mind just thinking too much? What should I do?
Thank You for always listening to my prayers. In Jesus's name I pray Amen.
I feel like I still have so much to say... Just pouring out my heart to Him.

| I'm so confused... please pray....I'm really confused... what does it mean to be Christian? how do i know if i am Christian? i joined all these groups and i go to the events to learn more about God but i'm still so unsure of myself... i tell myself that i believe.. but like Roger said.. some people always have a "but..." and that's me... i always think of a "but..." what should i do?? i'm so scared to ask people face to face cuz i always start crying... and i don't know how to ask.... i want to be someone who is sure about what i believe in... and i want to be one of those individuals who can just shout "I BELIEVE!"... i don't even know what's holding me back.... is it cuz my siblings aren't Christian? and the fact that i'm so used to having my sister go first?
i find it so hard to express myself in words... it's hard for me to pray aloud... that's why when there are group prayers... i don't say anything.. but i might start humming a song... it's hard for me to speak but i can sing for worship without a problem.... so is singing my way of worshipping God?
i'm so unsure of if i truly believe or not but i help others with their faith.... how does that work? when i'm helping others i feel sure of what i'm saying... how God loves them and has a plan for each of us..... but when it comes to me personally.. i get mixed feelings...
overall i'm a person who's always unsure.. i don't like making decisions... and i just let things happen... but this is something i feel like i need to do of my own will.... with the help of the Holy Spirit... how do i know He's there? how do i know He's helping me?
Open the eyes of my heart, Lord Open the eyes of my heart I want to see You I want to see You
To see You high and lifted up Shining in the light of Your glory Pour out Your power and love As we sing holy, holy, holy...
In the secret, in the quiet place In the stillness, You are there In the secret, in the quiet hour I wait, only for You 'Cause I want to know You more
I want to know You I want to hear Your voice I want to know You more I want to touch You I want to see Your face I want to know You more
I am reaching for the highest goal That I might receive the prize Pressing onwards, pushing every hindrance aside Out of my way 'Cause I want to know You more...
THANK YOU!!! | | |
