Here we go! ok...for those that don't know, I'm leaving tommorow the 30th for Mexico...Sunwest drives down every year, with the Senior High Youth Group and builds houses...there are 110 of us going, did I mention driving? :) I'll be back on the 10th..so I'll be calling back, emailing on the 11th...I'm sleeping! : ) haha
Feel free to drop me an email...and if you call...Kathleens checking my messages so feel free to drone on and on...she'll looooove it! haha
If you Pray:
1. Focus on the Goal (building relationships and loving kids)
2. Health ( A friend Emily is my tent mate, please pray for her too!)
3. Spirit in Power (I would love to speak into these kids lives)
4. Rapore (—Synonyms: fellowship, camaraderie, understanding- with my van especially)

Thank you all...much love
Bettina

A Little Pre-ST.Paddy's Joy!

 

From Dr.Suess

So I was visiting Nat-an's blog...and noticed a little something that I felt worth passing along

"Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those that matter don't mind..."

Failure

So what really constitues failure. I was fired on Wednesday to clairify...now where was the failure because I assure you I'm feeling it...was it in the fact that all I wanted to do was watch tv? Was it in the fact that I could have not showered ever again and felt that was fine? Is it in the dread I feel in looking for another job? Was it in the moment today that I wanted to hate my supervisor instead of pray for her? Because I truly have the capacity to drive out to her house and egg it...actually. The worst part about this entire scenario...getting fired...is that I feel like a failure...when she said to me 'oh you are just trying soooo hard' I wanted to smack her...yeah..in the face. I've never failed at something I wanted to do...not even once. I've failed things but realized I didn't really want to do them, and thus quit. I've sucked at things, but not truly wanted to be good at them...other than in the competition way that I want to be good at everything...just to beat everyone else! ; ) But I've never lost...in a job that is. I've always been everything they have been looking for and now I am reveling in the sweet misery of failure...please watch Elizabethtown now if you've never failed at anything...
I would love to leave this post at that, but you should know that it was a personal issue...not my preformance that caused this separation of me from retail...although my supervisor doesn't admit that, head office does. And Head office is willing to give me a reference that states I quit...which blows my mind. And in that is the silver lining...but I don't feel any better about it.
So I ask...because we don't talk about it very often, who has been fired? Or gone through a failure they would like to share with the team? I'd like to hear.

Janelle

I...Love....you. Notice the hot hot links I have here? That's because of Janelle...she actually had to log into my account to start that off for me...LOVE....you. Send me a picture...and I'll sleep with it for a week...and when I say that I mean I'll post it...with hearts around it...

Since I live in Calgary...

 


So the picture didn't really turn out...but can you see my expression? I had to have the flash on to capture my disgust...Did I mention it was +19 on Sunday....

I need some helllllp

Ok...so i really really want to have a side bar of my friends...links to their blogs..but I'm completely inept right now dang it. Please...nathan? Heidi? everyone else seems to get it...ps...every body check out Matt Dyck's blog tymewithdyck.blogspot.com because Joel...is the most attractive baby on earth let me tell you! But seriously...

Deep Dark Confessions...

Now let me explain! I haven't been blogging..yeah..I know, but I've got a reason, i hate just writting...not to be confused with I 'just hate writting'...no one really reads it, lets be honest. I'd rather look at something funny, or stunning and then go on to read the witty commentary...Sadly, I need a reason to read. I've confessed..can we still be friends? That and I'm annoyed by this whole google account thing...anyone else?
