Well Guys;
Rather weird thing happened. I had a dream. (not the MLK Jr. dream but... like the Pharoah's dream I talked about in my last blog). It is rather odd at that and I don't really fully understand it yet- but it was so cool, so I figured I'd tell you all anyways.
Okay- all I can remember at the first of it was that I cut my fingure REALLY bad on something, my left hand, index fingure. It was completly cut all the way through, yet with no blood and the top was just hanging on by a piece of skin. Anyways, I was freaking out (as anyone would be eh?) and running around to all of my friends asking if they would bring me to the hospital. The first half seemed to be here in Edmonton, and all of my friends here was a part of it. The weird thing is that they didn't notice me. I cried out for help from them and they just pushed me aside and went on with their own things. It was like a trance and I was in Newfoundland, and all of my friends back there was doing the same thing to me. Finally I saw a police officer and rushed to him and told him that I needed to go to the hospital and showed him my finger. He pushed me aside as well and left me in the middle of the road... then I collasped - broken.
As soon as I woke up, I remember the dream fully and I understood what it meant.
For so long, I have been putting people in place of God. I have been relying on people to talk to, go to, cry with and laugh with and they became my 'center' in the dream. However, when things got bad, I turned to them but this time they didn't want me- they pushed me out of the picture and ignored me, even though I was 'dying' as such in the dream- after every person that pushed me away, I became weaker and weaker... and finally after the last person that I thought would help me (the police officer) pushed me away and then I died. The dream helped me see that I depend on people too much. I try to rush to them whenever anything happens.. with the end result of me- dying(according to the dream).
Anyways, it was cool and my first dream like that.
I'm not saying it's 'from God' or any master 'interpretation' or anything else related to that whole lot... but I understood it, I could see it relate to me... and it was cool.

Chapter 127: I Stand Amazed
Hey Everyone;
It's so like twenty after twelve here in Edmonton- which makes it like almost four back home on the Rock. I was just reading my bible and listening to the song 'I Stand Amazed' by Passion Band. God directed my to a passage in Genesis where Pharaoh had two dreams- one of cows and another of grains- where the weak/poor ate the good/strong cows and grains. Thanks to Joseph, Pharaoh got an interpetation of his dream, which was that his land would go through seven years of good times, and then seven years would follow of severe famine. Pharaoh made Joseph ruler of Egypt and everyone had to obey his commands. He decided to store up food during the seven good years and sell it during the bad years- and this is what he done.
It's just funny how time and time again people in the bible has a dream and seeks all the crazy people to interpet it eh? They go to the people who study the stars above them, the people who believe in horoscopes and all that nonsense- and all the times they do, none of them can tell them what the dreams mean. It takes a real man of God to see what the dreams mean- and that's who I want to be.
God has been laying several things on my heart to deal with my future ministry. I don't know if Vanguard is in that totally yet, if another school here is, or a school somewhere else- or just work. God is really showing that people are called to very different areas to share the gospel with the rest of the world. A writer is a huge step in that direction for me, and it's sortta what I feel I am called to do... but must I persue more time at Vanguard College before I can continue? That's totally up to God.
Anyways; I just thought I'd share that little but with you before I fall asleep, and also I want to post the lyrics to the song I mentioned earlier- take a strong hold onto the lyrics becuase they are amazing.
I stand amazed in the presence
Of Jesus the Nazarene,
And wonder how He could love me,
A sinner, condemned, unclean.
Refrain
O how marvelous!
O how wonderful!
And my song shall ever be:
O how marvelous!
O how wonderful!
Is my Savior’s love for me!
For me it was in the garden
He prayed: “Not My will, but Thine.”
He had no tears for His own griefs,
But sweat drops of blood for mine.
Refrain
In pity angels beheld Him,
And came from the world of light
To comfort Him in the sorrows
He bore for my soul that night.
Refrain
He took my sins and my sorrows,
He made them His very own;
He bore the burden to Calvary,
And suffered and died alone.
Refrain
When with the ransomed in glory
His face I at last shall see,
’Twill be my joy through the ages
To sing of His love for me.

Chapter 126: Busy Week+end
Wow.
There is no better word to describe this past week then the one I choose. Well, last Monday was the beginning of Modular week- thus resulting in 8 hour days and very busy days, cause anythign extra I needed to do had to be done between the hours of 6-11(I go to bed normally by 11). But yeah... so that took us all week- and than Friday took us up too 3:45, when we got out. At four, YMIT went and done another service, this time at Northwest Pentecostal church- it was amazing. We played games, worshiped and listened to Lorne speak.. and as always- after the service we played more games and ate Pizza! Woohoo!
Saturday was another busy day- I got a job at the Bargin Shop, I'll start Saturday. I have to wait and see how it'll mess my Student Loan- if it has ANY affect, I won't take the position.
Today, Sunday- some of the SPL students had to do ministry work at the Bareen(spell) Church of God, which is a small 'house' church, with 95% of East Indian people. It was pretty good, I was responsible to give my testimony- which went rather well. :) I got to meet Brother Brad's son- Brett. He totally wanted my blog address and seemed rather impressed when I told him that I write. :) - Anyways, I'm sure you found you're way here man.. have a good time reading everything I have to say, and it was good to meet you!
Well, tomorrow - Monday! Paul at 8... I'm SO totally NOT looking forward to that. They should give us Monday as a rest day, glory be by's.... the Missions team got back late last night, the rest of us had a tiresome week with MOD.... give us a break! Come Christmas eh!
Anyways... I'm gone!

Chapter 121: Bennett?
Hey Everyone;
Two blogs in one day... this hasn't happened in a while. Well, it's a little late at night and I was just surfing different things and decided to check out my Creative Communications teacher (Dave Von Bieker) website, which links me to another site, and then to THIS(click the word 'this'): Bennett!
This turns out to be my teacher's band.... yes, Dave Von Bieker HAS a band... creepy eh? Funny thing, I like it! : Dave, you just won me over... and I think you have some serious talent. This is definetly blog worthy and rather interesting... this is the first time that my teacher has a rather cool website and a rather amazing band! This is odd to me actually, but good on ya!
Well, I think this is doing more than my share... you can download his music off that site, and all you have to do- spread the word. So here I am, taking the songs- and now blogging about it, thus spreading the word. Also, I shall link the site from mine.
Blessings;
(wait, I can say 'Bennett' - I learned that Bennett also meanings Blessings...)

Chapter 117: Internet Explorer 7.0
Hey Everyone;
Well I'm just here to tell you a small bit about the BRAND NEW Internet Explorer 7.0 Browser! It's fantastic- seriously! Well, I posted a few back about Flock, the 'newest and coolest' browser that I know about... well, just after a short two weeks (if that) it's been on my computer, it's been retired already.
Microsoft has steped up in their browsers and put a awesome cool look to it, with many sweet benifits- my personal favorite.... BUILT IN SECURITY! Now those nasty virsus and adware junk can't get on my computer, thanks to Microsoft's sleek technology upgrade.
Here is a screen shot of the new browser:

Chapter 116: All That I Have
Hey;
Yeah.. umm- I promise a real blog next time... but I feel this song, since it now has some importance to me.. I want to post the lyrics- even if ye don't want me too... and yeah- tough, it's my blog... and I want too.. feel free to read or just leave. :)
The song is called 'Everything I Have' and it is one of FOUR songs Clay Aiken wrote for his NEW CD- (by the way.. it is AMAZING.. no joke.. one of the best secular CD's I have ever heard). But yeah.. have a read:
Everything I Have
I feel like I never measure up to who you see
Sometimes I think I can't give you all the love you need
You keep changing everyday
Amazing me in every way
If I could be the perfect man in your eyes
I would give all I'm worth to be a part of your life
I could promise the world but it's out of my hands
I can only give you everything I have
I never dreamed I could ever feel the way I do
I hope and pray I will always be enough for you
I can only do my best
I have to trust you with the rest
If I could be the perfect man in your eyes
I would give all I'm worth to be a part of your life
I could promise the world but it's out of my hands
I can only give you everything I have
I promise I'll hold you through the changes and fears
When life seems unclear
And when I can't be right there with you
I know there's angels by your side
If I could be the perfect man in your eyes
I would give all I'm worth to be a part of your life
I could promise the world but it's out of my hands
I can only give you everything
If I could be the perfect man in your eyes
I would give all I'm worth to be a part of your life
I could promise the world but it's out of my hands
I can only give you everything I have

Chapter 114: The Day After
Hey Everyone;
It's the 'day after' - the day after our horrible Turkey Day. It was pretty bad if I do say so myself and everything that I made didn't turn out that great- which made me rather upset... cause I wanted my Turkey Day meal to be somewhat like moms.... but it was FAR from. Okay, it wasn't that crappy... but it wasn't that good. It was just enough to be thankful for... at least I had friends and some kind of food to eat. :o)
Anyways... yeah- so how is everyone's day so far? My morning was rather interesting! I woke up, showered and than done laundry and read while doing so. After I come back.. Sarah is making breakfast for us- some weird pears fryed in grease... eww! I wouldn't eat it.. anyways... somehow (I seriously can't remember how) a can of wipcream came into play and we got into a wipcream fight. It was all over the walls, floors, doors and US! It was SO funny... I wish we took pictures... but it was kindda hard to do with all the wipcream! Sarah had it all over her clothes and hair... I got her in the face with a big pile of it in my hand pretty good! She got me good as well.. I'll give her credit on that part. :) It was a blast and yeah- I had to get back into the shower... it was super funny! :)
Oh my... So yeah- last night, Jus and I slept in the same room... like 1am Sarah and Amanda came in- and Amanda sang to us. I was half asleep so it was rather annoying... yet funny at the same time. I tell ya- it's like a zoo up here! :)
Anyways, I'm doing a major assignment- I'm taking a break from it just to blog. Actually, I wrote like 3 pages so I stopped for a bit, and read a book that I have to have a report done up and handed in by Mid-Week... Mmm... busy week for me again this week!
Anywhos--- I'm gonna take off again. Get back to reading.. eat and than Paully Wally again! :)

Chapter 113: Happy Turkey Day
Hey-Hey;
Happy Turkey Day to one and all! It's an awesome day here in beautiful Alberta. The sun is shining, the air is nice and crisp- it's a real fall, perfect 'turkey day'!
So far today, we went to church- which was good. We came home- put the turkey on- I have awesome pictures, that I'll put along with the blog. It was so funny! I'm here now, just chilling. I soon have to do some homework (gotta make the day productive). I picked yesterday not to worry about a bit of homework, so tonight now I have to start cracking. Same as tomorrow- last day for break... all day full of homework. Suppose I have to tie myself to a chair and study- I'm doing it! :)
Well, I missed all the other YC feeds :( - I have been trying and trying BUT the feeds are busy. There are alot of people watching, which is amazing! Maybe YC will release official numbers of just how many hits they got this weekend! :) Anyways, I'm DYING to get some YC updates- see how things went, where YC is next year (I predict St. Johns but for some reason Labrador maybe... or I could be just crazy! lol)
Anyways.. yeah- Just closing it up with a shout out to ALL my family and friends back home... Happy Thanksgiving to you all. I SO wish I could be there with you all but I can't so yeah... instead I'll leave you with these pictures:

Well, I missed all the other YC feeds :( - I have been trying and trying BUT the feeds are busy. There are alot of people watching, which is amazing! Maybe YC will release official numbers of just how many hits they got this weekend! :) Anyways, I'm DYING to get some YC updates- see how things went, where YC is next year (I predict St. Johns but for some reason Labrador maybe... or I could be just crazy! lol)
Anyways.. yeah- Just closing it up with a shout out to ALL my family and friends back home... Happy Thanksgiving to you all. I SO wish I could be there with you all but I can't so yeah... instead I'll leave you with these pictures:
Blessings;
Josh

Chapter 112: YC Newfoundland
Hey Everyone;
Okay- YC Newfoundland is SO happening RIGHT NOW, as I blog this! I have been watching online and it has been mindblowing- I hope everyone in Corner Brook is getting as much as I am from it... and I'm in Alberta! Last night service (it was about 4:30 here) was amazing. I sent the link to watch the online feeds of YC to a number of people and they all came back after saying how much it moved them. :) It was awesome! Anyways... I was talking to Robin, Heather, Jer, Rudy, Stefan, Scott, Dean, Stacy and Jessica last night on MSN. It helped me out alot... just knowing that everyone was there! :) But yeah- emotional afterwards but, amazing! :) Guys, and to ALL of our youth group that IS at YC- SHOUT! Guys, SHOUT TO THE LIVING GOD! That's all I have to say! I'm so gonna watch again tonight and tomorrow- can't wait!
Okay, alot of people keep asking me, so I'll just post it. To watch YC online click: here! The YC Website got the schedule list up, go there to see when you can watch it! :)
Enjoy!
Peace
Prayers

Chapter 111: Our God Reigns
'Our God Reigns... Forever His Kingdom Reigns'
There is no better way to start out this blog than the awesome words of 'OUR GOD REIGNS'! Amen. I have not posted a 'religious' post in quite some time now, so I really feel the need to somewhat tie 'God' into this blog.
Well, what to say. I could say 'Our God Reigns'and sum it all up with my now-famous words 'Peace Out' and that'll be it for this blog but I think it needs more.
But 'Our God Reigns'- how true is that? I have to admit that I have been having a hard time adjusting to the 'Vanguard' life- and all the work that comes with this college life. I have a very little desire to start, let alone finish the book reports, papers and more... but for some reason I know I have too. I think I need to hear a word about how we should/need to bless God with our studies, cause right now, again- I have little devotion. But OUR GOD REIGNS! No matter if I am doing this work or not-
Our God Reigns in the dawn of morning.
Our God Reigns in the noon of day.
Our God Reigns in the darkest of night.
Our God Reigns!
No matter WHERE we are, WHAT we do or HOW we go about our day- OUR GOD REIGNS!
God is in control of everything and even though some times we forget that and allow ourselves slip far enough that we get on thin ice, our God still reigns.
In today's society, alot of people do not consider 'God' to be a huge part of their lives and just even last night- I had a person tell me that they don't believe in Heaven/Hell, God/Satan. I wish I had the opportunity back to tell that person even if they didn't believe it, our God reigns and his KINGDOM REIGNS FOREVER MORE!
Anyways- I just felt the need to post about how our God reigns and to remind everyone that God IS still in control. :)
Peace Out
Prayers

Chapter 110: VITAS
Okay, I'm a freak for 'unique' music... but I think I have found THE most unique one ever!
His name is Vitas and he's Russian and he's well... an awesome singer. Watch that video and I promise you- you'll say 'wow' at least ONCE during the video... IF you appreciate TRUE talent!
Peace
Josh
PS> thanks for Rudy, Sarah, Sasha and Brook- ye know why! :)

Chapter 109: Flock
Hey Everyone;
Just wanted to help Rudy out by saying I am now a supporter of the 'Flock' browser. It seems great so far, let's see how well it is when it comes to giving me/its users asware, spyware, viruses? Again, so far, so good!
Also, like Rudy talked about- the good improvment of 'blog this'- I like!
Peace Friends;
