PIANO!

I'm done my grade 8 piano! Now I get to play for fun for the rest of my life... if you ask me that is major pumpageness right there!

Swept Away

If given more time
we would have been closer.
My melody of comfort,
the ivory keys played with care.

Like grace notes embellishing a piece,
dissipating memories of your laughter ring through.
If given more time,
this song, bland and incomplete
would be captivating, compelling and clear.

You were swept away,
the wind taking our song.
It tangled with the score
leaving only a few sheets left to cherish.
But no more time was given.

Our song, an unfinished symphony
Though short, the harmonies are flawless.
All that remain are memories;
I treasure them,
for they are the notes that play our song.

-Lanah Teigrob





I love you Jennifer and Angela. I can't wait until I can see you again!

stress and summer!

Well musical is over. And that makes me feel good... and sad at the same time. It was a blast while it lasted and yet, now things aren't as crazy-even though my life is in perma crazy mode right now. I just keep remembering that Summer is coming and stress free days are on the way!!
O ya I forgot to mention, I applied for a Job at the CIBC bank in Birch Hills. I would really like some prayer about that... I just really want this job and yet I really want God's will.
but I should go
Love you all

Craziness

Wow these past two weeks have been crazy!! School has been really busy and on top of it all musical and drama! Last week I had practice every night right after school til 6:30 and two of the other nights were til 9:30!! we started preformances this week. Our production isn't as big as they have been in the past, which kinda is a bummer, so we only have two evening preformances and one for our school. Other years we would preform for other schools during the day all week long and have like 3 or 4 night preformances, altogether preforming for around 3000 people. But our principal, who was very active in our productions, got transferred so some changes where made. But if any one wants to come to the musical/drama night it is tonight! haha ( a little short notice) and tomorrow night. tonight is at 8pm and tomorrow is at 7pm. I think tickets are $7. PLEASE COME AND SUPPORT US!!!

ps. if you do come don't expect Beauty and the Beast or the Sound of Music like previous years. but don't worry it is funny!! I'm sure you will laugh whether it is meant to make you laugh or not!! hahah

Missions Adventure Report

Well I am back! Winnipeg was great. I have a lot of great memories and a lot of stories to tell...mostly funny ones! One thing that I didn't enjoy about it though was that I was sick every day except for the last day I was there. Every morning I would wake up feeling sick and that would last until about 1:00 in the after noon and then I would eat a supper that was about half the size of the my normal one. On Tuesday all I ate was 4 crackers, half a granola bar, 1 orange segment and like 4 waters. But I slowly became better by the last day....even though the last day wasn't even apart of the missions trip....it was sight seeing. I still participated in all of the ministries but with a little less gusto and determination as I would have wanted to. During this time I really felt like I was the weak one in the team and I was a contributing player to our team. This really frustrated me and it bothered me how I had to be the one being served rather than serving others and encouraging the team.

So most of my great memories are of the last three days out of the trip. On Thursday night it was really neat because we went to a restaraunt that we had cleaned windows for the night before. This Restaraunt was founded along with a theater by a man in the community activively involved with YWAM and New life ministries. the Restaraunt is very cheap and the theater is free but by looking at them you would never know that the majority of the people that eat their are very poor people and homless. Inside it is very modern and is decorated with Pier One style furniture. It is such a great idea. They even made meal cards that homeless people could buy that costs only a few dollars but with it they can get the special of the day for like 7 days.

After we went for supper we hung out in the house. ( the house by the way Lauren....was three floors high with a basement....and was sooo nice.. it didn't even smell funny!!) The guys went a little crazy with some washeable markers as you can see. but it was soo much fun!

Friday was our tourism day. We went to the forks and the Zoo. We had a blast. I mostly hung out with Andrea, Kenton and Travis and we took sooo many crazy pictures! And played in the Elevator for probably half an hour!

Saturday we came home. Our bus broke down ...sometime about some sort of fluid not getting to the break line and the E-break was stuck on or something.. I dont' know and then also the gas pedal kept breaking.... so we where stranded on the highway for a bit. I had to go to the bathroom so Me and Olivia and Jan went into the bush and took use of some fallen trees. Olivia and I decided to stay in the trees and build a fort. It was soo fun. We got a little wet and dirty but we didn't care.

Some ministries we did throughout the week were: Working at Winnipeg Harvest -sorting potatoes, onions and making kits for shelters. New life Ministries - cleaning up streets, allies, yards and buildings. Roses to Prostitutes- handing out roses to the working girls at night...only this time we didn't walk around we drove. Servant Evangelism -sharing a bagged lunch with a homeless person, meeting new people on the street and handing out Hot Chocolate.

The week was a blast...I spent alot of it praying, but I think that is what God was trying to teach me....to rely on him more!

Missions Adventures--Happy Easter

Hey everyone. I got told at church this morning by a certain someone that I hadn't posted in about two weeks ***cough cough Sharon***. So I thought maybe it was time to come up with something to write.

First off....HAPPY EASTER!!!! And no I am not talking about the Easter the world knows as bunnies and eggs...(what is the relation between the two anyways......) I am talking about the REAL Easter. Jesus is Alive!!! This year our Church had a Good Friday evening service and a Sunday morning service. Both where soo good. It was so amazing just to focus on the cross and then celebrate our risen Lord. Both services I felt where sooo powerful! I really enjoyed them!

So tomorrow I leave for my Missions trip to Winnipeg! Yes I am excited but also a little bit hesitant. I'm not nervous about anything... I did it in Vancouver no problem. I'm just a little nervous about team unity. I'm just really trying to give it to God. I don't want anything like that to hinder our group. I really think our team could just use some prayer in that area.

Well... I don't really know what else I should write about. I haven't even started packing yet and it is 6 pm. We leave tomorrow at 6:30!!!! thats sooo crazy.
