Thought 13: Yes I steal ideas from people. This one being from my friend Sam Sawatzsky. 2010 started as the worst year I've ever had but turned it all around the second half.
January: My girlfriend being in Rwanda Skypes me and after being on different sides of the world for four months we break up. I try to use that time to seek God.
February: I take over the Alive young adults group. Our kickoff starts with a massive three people showing up. We would grow to 21 before dropping down to 9-12.
March: I buy a new truck. A white 1996 Chevy S10. It would later be known as Cranston
April: I finish my second and last year at Okanagan College and prepare for school with Briercrest College.
May: My then ex-girlfriend returns to Canada from Rwanda leading to a month of awkwardness and emotional agony for the both of us.
June: The years starts becoming great. Me and my girlfriend get back together a couple days before I leave to Watson Lake, Yukon for 2 weeks.
July: My fourth time up to Watson Lake and my first time co-running the camp. I spoke in the evening chapels and God taught me a lot. To trust in Him with the words to say cause when words are led by His Spirit things happen. About 6 kids committed themselves to Christ. We also travel to the Calgary Stampede in what was quite a fail of a trip as we continually got lost in Calgary.
August: Was warm. Not a lot happened. I worked a lot.
September: My girlfriend got baptized. I was accepted as an intern in the young adults program at Willow Park Church. After 3 months in charge of Alive we stopped and it never got off the ground. The new pastor took it over and I was going to be his intern. I await my school package to arrive after many calls to Saskatchewan because of form confusions.
October: I start working at the church as an intern and my school finally starts to arrive. We begin GENnet Young Adults.
November: We travel to Vancouver for the Passion Vancouver conference. We went early to go to the aquarium first and then ate at the old spaghetti factory. Chris Tomlin, Matt Redman, and David Crowder Band performed. Another slight fail of a trip as we continually got lost going to the aquarium and to Rogers arena.
December: Me and Katelyn celebrate our two years (cumulative) together. Also attend our first adult Christmas party (we were the youngest there) and my first ugly sweater Christmas Party.
Thought 14: My Facebook wall is full of people wishing Happy New Years and a few saying how much they hate New Years. Why do we celebrate New Years? I think because a New Year in our minds is a new start. New Years brings a hope of bettering ourselves and blessings to come our way in the next 365 days. Even if that hope never reaches realization and we stop going after our resolutions in a few days the hope of that night gives enough for many to celebrate.
