Where life takes me"home is where the heart is" 1月13日 Sorry this is boring...I decided to venture over here and check out my old blog. this is pretty boring. so i changed the background. and I put a new picture on. lol! hope thats better for you all. anyways, i'm still blogging at blogspot, so i won't be using this at all. the address is (again)
enjoy! 8月3日 NEW BLOG!!!So, I have switched over to Blogspot now. I will be blogging on there, i think it is the "in" thing to do. PLUS, i never really use MSN anymore.. and it's just to confusing for my parents to figure out how to get to my msn space. So, if you would kindly continue on to my blog that would be wonderful!
So there you have it! 8月2日 "Life aint always beautiful...... but its a beautiful ride." So, the quote i just wrote, is from a country song thats been in my head all day now. at work today i got to listen to country all day, it was great. But this song (by Gary Allan)..it just really spoke huge to my heart today. As many of you know, my family is going through some tough times right now. myself included, with all the stresses and pressure of trying to figure out what to do in the fall. all the uncertainty is HARD. but, I was comforted by this song today. Here are some more of the lyrics:
Life aint always beautiful
Sometimes it's just plain hard Life can knock you down, it can break your heart But the struggles make you stronger
And the changes make you wise And happiness has its own way of takin it's sweet time No, life aint always beautiful Tears will fall sometimes Life aint always beautiful But it's a beautiful ride Ok, i know i'm cheesy at times. but really, its a good song. anyways, I was also doing some devo's today and came across this little tidbit:
"I am the Lord your God, who holds your right hand, and I tell you, 'Don't be afraid. I will help you'." -Isaiah 41:13. the devotional went on to say: "Answer the big question of eternity, and the little questions of life fall into perspective". WOW! I was humbled huge by reading this. I don't need to worry about what I am doing in the fall, next year, or for the rest of my life- because God has it all under control. I need to stop worrying. Seek him. and trust!
This may all just seem like common sense... however i think we all need a reminder at times! I'm out.
love,

janell 6月28日 bean salad and biting dogs!So! As most of you know, I am a painter. I go to random people's houses/condo's and I paint.. do prep work, get the place ready, that kind of thing. Well, this week i have been at a sweet old lady's condo downtown. she is so sweet, everyday she makes me coffee and we sit and have a wonderful chat. i have learned so much from this old lady. and i have really come to enjoy my time there. anyways, today as i was leaving... she offered me some of her bean salad that she had made... and while she was putting it in a container for me, the dog she babysits bit me on the leg!!!! and i yelled a little. i think that scared the stupid thing, so it bit me again on the other leg! I can't believe it, I have never been bit by a dog.. and up until this point, i didnt mind the little creatures... but now! it's a different story.. i really want to kick that stupid little mut! ok, now that i vented... i can go. i hope you enjoyed my story! love,
nelly 6月19日 Father's Day!! /prayer requestSurprise!! i went home for father's day! so that was exciting, and i really did surprise my dad. it was pretty awesome i must say! anyways, This is more of a prayer request than anything else: So, my family heard some really hard news on thursday.. My sister-in-laws' mother was admitted into the hospital on thursday and discovered that she is extremely ill. I won't go into to much detail here, but you can email if you would like more details. Basically She needs a miracle here, and I believe that we serve a God who can do all things. he can heal if it is in his will to do so! anyways, a phrase that has been stuck in my head since thursday is: "PRAY HARD" I do believe that there is power in prayer, and i would ask that you would pray with us for her family and especially for her mom. my sister-in-law's name is Ange and her mom's name is Gail. Please keep them and their family in your prayes! thanks. 6月3日 Cafe 22So, I have not been so faithful to my blog here... I will try to write more often. Anyways, This weekend has been going well. Karis and Joeline came over from Bethany doing some recruitment work here. They are staying for a few nights, so thats going great. Tonight I got to go for supper with Ange! we went for supper at a cute little cafe called "cafe 22" it's definetly not the first time i've been there, but every time i go i am greatly impressed with the place. Liz, i think of you often as they play great music all the time. tonight we were eating our meal to sufjan stevens and imogene heap with a little death cab near the end. it was a great time. anyways... life here is pretty good, I am working alot, and i have lots of time to think about life. sometimes i think about how much i always look forward to something that has not yet happend. when will i ever just be content with where i am at??? thought of the day!
5月28日 making some friends...So, I have been making a few friends here slowly but surely (i hope) I went over to a friends place this afternoon for some good times. and also this evening Randi remps came over and we went to a church service in the city here. it was pretty sweet, and i met a lot of college and career folk there. we even played a little vball after the service in the gym. I must say, church has to be the best place to make friends! You all have a common interest and usually you'll make friends that challenge you on a deeper level than your average jane doe. ok, sorry for stating the obvious there, but that's what i do best. anyways, life is still difficult adjusting to a new city and starting all over. it's exciting and frusterating all at once. If you think of it- you're prayers would be appreciated as it is difficult putting in the work that is required to make friends... and sometimes its just plain lonely... and sometimes its sweet because you are reminded of God's goodness in the relationships you already have (they just may be many miles away!) Well hang in there in whatever you are dealing with! Im off to bed. night!

ps- Chris, don't worry, not creepy. 5月23日 Caitlin and Stefan's wedding!Hello all!
well i just got back from an eventful weekend in saskatoon! i went out with sarah, ange and randi for Caitlin and Stefan's wedding. A beautiful wedding! While i was there i stayed with Holly, so that was super awesome! The weekend was full of visiting with friends and not alot of sleep! To all those that i got to see- thanks for the sweet times and the meaningful chats! I have missed those! anyways, God is doing some pretty cool things in my life right now. i am learning alot of what it means to be myself and to find who i am in Christ. FREEDOM!! anyways, i must go to bed. night all~!
Janell 5月10日 I got a job!!Hey All! well I got a job! woot woot! I am a painter.. and i paint walls. yup it's pretty fun. I decided this could quite possibly be the best job for me. I can just paint walls, and daydream and think and pray all day. I dont really have to talk to anyone- which could be good. cause then i dont have to deal with lots of drama.. but then i also dont get to chat it up with people often... so i might get bored. we'll see. Thank you to all those who have been praying for me! God is my provider, and yet again he pulls through! Well, im off to bed, another day at work tomorrow! blessings!
