1st Peter Chapter 3

2011-09-28T10:03:00.000-07:00

          Wives, in the same way be submissive to your husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, when they see your purity and reverence of your lives. Your beauty should not come from outward adornment such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight. For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to make themselves beautiful. They were submissive to their own husbands, like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her master. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear.
           Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.

             Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble. Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with a blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing. For,

"Whoever would love life

and see good days

must keep his tongue from evil

and his lips from deceitful speech.

He must turn from evil and do good;

he must seek peace and pursue it.

For the eyes of the Lord are on the rightueous

and his ears are attentive to their prayer,

but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil."

Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good? But even if you should suffer for doing what is right, you are blessed. "Do not fear what they fear ; do not be frightened." but in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give a reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander. It is better, if it is God's will to suffer for doing good then for doing evil. For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive by the spirit, through whom also he went and preached to the spirits in prison who disobeyed long ago when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built. In it only a few people, eight in all, were saved through water, and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also-not the removal of dirt from he body but the pledge of a good conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who has gone into heaven and is at God's right hand-with angels, authorities and powers in submission to him.

1st Peter Chapter 2

2011-09-20T15:42:00.000-07:00

Therefore Rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind. Like newborn babies, crave spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation. Now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.

As you come to him, the living stone-rejected by men but chosen by God and precious to him-you also like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. For in scripture it says:

"See, I lay a stone in Zion, a chosen and precious cornerstone, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame."

Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe,

"The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone."

and,

"A stone that causes men to stumble and a rock that makes them fall."

They stumble because they disobey the message-which is also what they were destined for.
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but not you have received mercy.
Dear friends, I urge you, as aliens and strangers in the world, to abstain from sinful desires, which war against you soul. Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us.

Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to authority instituted among men: whether to the king, as the supreme authority, or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong and commend those who do right. For it is God's will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish men. Live as free men, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as servants of God. Show proper respect to everyone: love the brotherhood of the believers, fear God, honor the king.

Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh. For it is commendable if a man bears up under the pain of unjust suffering because he is conscious of God. But how is it to your credit is you receive a beating for doing wrong and endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God. To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.

"he committed no sin,
and no deceit was found in his mouth."

When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly. he himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed. for you were like sheep going astray, but but now you have returned to the shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

The Promise

2011-09-15T15:33:00.000-07:00

As I stare down the woman, I notice her flawless skin, perfect hair, and thin body type. Her abs in her bikini ripple in strength, Her never fading smile shines like a bright star, and I look in the mirror and say "Who do you think you are?"
I think about the food last eaten and the workouts not done, the restrictions put on by none else but myself, failing them all. I wonder about why I even try sometimes. But as soon as I say so, I begin to feel something near to me, something called Love.
It comes in a still small voice, calm and soothing, it weeps for me and my thoughts about myself.

A tear drips from my right eye.

The voice brings up a feeling of worth and comfort, yet i push it away, not wanting comfort from the comforter. Rather, wanting comfort in myself, in my own skin. I'd never thought about how much these thoughts could destroy a person, nor how much it could terrorize or even threaten, I thought this was normal. Everyone doesn't want their body, everyone thinks they aren't beautiful.

But I had more to learn.

The voice goes deeper and deeper into me and begins it's work. And I allow it, finally.

It Hurts.
It pains.
It's honest.

It's a promise, that it doesn't matter what it looks like on the outside, but that on the inside, if it's truly seeking after the voice, will heal. And once it begins the healing process it makes the outside shine brighter than the sun.

Proverbs 31:30 " Charm is deceptive and Beauty is fleeting. But a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised."

Where's the line?

This article about a Christians thoughts on the final Harry Potter movie is very interesting, it links Christianity to the theme of the movie. To some extent I can see it (though I haven't watched any of the harry potter movies) from what I hear it could very well be a form of Christ's story. But I also beg to ask whether the overwhelming witchery, spell casting, and wizardry is a good way to present Jesus. Why present all the evil in the world as good in a fictional novel or movie? Even if it is to present the gospel in a new way.

In the same way, I was thinking about The Book Of Eli, this violent, cussing, incredible movie is very fond of Christianity, presenting it as truth. Is it right to present Christian Themes dipped in evil, or flavored with violence? What will the audiance take back from watching/reading/listening to this type of entertainment? How does Jesus fit into the entertainment industry?

Me personally wanting to become an actress in pop culture this question has begged to be answered and I have come to the conclusion that you can glorify God through the arts, even in a non-Christian setting. God gave us talents so we can use them to glorify Him, I believe we can glorify Him even in the secular industry by being a light in our area of talent. As a simple example take The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. I've seen the movie, read the book, and seen the play. Presenting Christ in such a powerful setting is a great experience, and portraying such characters as Aslan, Lucy, and others is a great chance at portraying the light. But what about playing evil characters? The Witch, Wolf, and many opthers are not what you would call examples of Christ, but they bring the story to a completion, they round it out per say. Without the evil there would be no good, all would be mediocre, But where is the line drawn? Does one play any character then so that you may show both the bad and good sides? I believe you can play a moral Character in a non-moral play and please God, and I believe you can play a non-moral character in a moral-play and still please God, but there is a point where you are no longer using your talents to please Him, you are merely "working", I believe this changes from person to person, but that overall, If you can feel God's pleasure in what you do, you're doing it right.

1st Corinthians 10:31 "So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God."

"All the world is a stage, and all the men and women are merely players..." I get to memorize this for a skit we are doing here at Acting school, It's very busy but exciting!

Life Away From Home

2011-07-11T18:12:00.000-07:00

Life in the life of Aisnley Daumler has changed recently to that of being a light. The phrase has meant a lot to me before but even more so now, being in a non-Christian enviroment with many negative comments towards Christanity, many swears going around and lots of sexual comments sprinkled on top. I've never before known such a communty in my life. I have seen many tings, but not to this extent.
In the mix of all this though, I find that my Faith is getting stronger, I'm realizing more and more how much God means to me, how I need to stay close to Him and let Him work in me. I'm finding frinds here that I thought would never in a million years wouuld be my type. god is turning my view of life upsidedown!
In the mist of all I have found a very select few that have come to the same conclusions as I about my faith and how it fits with my actions and words.
Other then the spiritual sde life ehre at Summer School is very intresting and I'm learning lots. Being in the Passion Play is awesome. God is working something very special at rehersals, becasue the air is thick with Him. yesterday the moon showed up early in the sky and during the crucifixion scene, if you looked from the right angle it looked like a halo on Jesus' head.

Life is changing, and I believe it's for the good. I can't wait to see what God has for me in the next two weeks here in Drumheller, God is good!

In Christ,

-Ainsley

I'm Alive!

2011-07-04T16:56:00.000-07:00

I'm here on day two here in Drumheller, It's been intresting to be here. In a Christian enviorment, but without fellow Christians (or at least those living the Christian life) except for one that I've found. She is an identical twin and is homeschooled, from up north, some small town, She is very nice. Since being here I've been challenged to live like I do at home but with many, many peers. There is a deotion every morning, chapel on Sundays and lots of Acting, singing, and Dancing classes.
This morning I participated in dance and acting, then acting and dance again in the afternoon, it's good hard work and it's just challenging enough yet not too easy. In dance we are beginning to learn our "Gala dance" which we will perform for the entire school in three weeks. In acting, we did some improv and get to know eachother games. we also are beginning to look at shakspearian plots, particularily in his commedies.

The food is great, and I am learning lots so far. I auditioned for some stuff for the passion play poeple and we go there I think either wednesday or Thursday. I just wanted to make sure all kne what was going on and that I do have access to computers though not too often.

This year at the summer school the theme for all is kinmanship, (friendship) and I was tthinking about the verse, about how iron sharpns iron, so a man must sharpen another. (or soemthing like that!) Friends that are going to last, must sharpen you and it might hurt, sparks might come, but that is what is going to be the best for the relationship.

My last 24 Hours in Calgary

2011-07-02T10:47:00.000-07:00

Nearing my trip to Drumheller I feel excited and nervous. Excited because I get to be away from home, don't get me wrong, I love family and being with them, but sometimes it's nice to get away for a bit and enjoy myself without them, but not for too long! ;) I'm also excited for just being immersed into acting, I love the feeling of performing, it is an explosive and wonderful feeling for me. I'm nervous because I'm not sure at all what I will be doing nor what to bring. My knowledge of what exactly I will be doing while there is foggy to say the least. But I expect it will be a wonderful and learning experience.

This is also the first non-Christian summer experience I will be going to, I'm guessing there will be many "Christians" because Rosebud is a Christian performing arts school and the passion play is well, about Jesus! So I hope to be salt and light where I go, but also to have fun and learn new things about myself and where acting fits into my life.

I'm sure this will be an experience to never forget!

Have a good July everyone, If I do get to a computer while I'm gone I will attemp to blog but if not, I'll see y'all in August!

Prone to Wander

2011-06-29T18:31:00.000-07:00

As God teaches me the wonder and amazement of Himself I am in awe of His amazing works. This year I have learn't so much regarding God's timing, His plans, His Will and what it means to follow it. But I am still struck by the swiftness that I turn away from all this and attempt to follow my own ways. My sinful, imperfect and disatruas ways.

Or when I forget God. It seems like something that wouldn't happen, I mean I'm always talking to people about how God is doing this ans that and I'm consistently reading my Bible and thinking about God things, how could I forget God? I believe our sinful nature makes to that God can easily be in the back of our minds, even the most respected and prominent theologians have lost sight of God one time or another. But I also believe that when we do forget and realize that we have forgotten we have to then take action and remember. God is constantly speaking to His people in the Bible, telling them to remember, we are such a forgetful and wretched people.
In saying take action, I do mean that we must then, when we forget, turn back to Him and ask for forgiveness. Satan uses one trick that is quite popular in which he tells us that God isn't interested in someone who forgets. "if you haven't prayed in a week, why pray now?" he might say. But I urge you, don't listen to that voice! Listen to God's loving receiving voice of remembrance. He is so joyful when people come back to Him. When I was little my mom used to tell us that every time we ask God to forgive us, he has a part up in heaven for us, along with those who have just asked Jesus to be their Lord and Savior. God celebrates it when we come to Him! So let's remember Him today and celebrate with Him. and When we do forget (because we will) turn away from our rebellion and return to His open Loving arms!

-Ainsley
P.S This song is so good, I sing it often when I am doing devotions.

Come thou fount of every blessing
Tune my heart to sing thy grace
Streams of mercy never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise
Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above
I'll praise the mount I'm fixed upon it
Mount of thy redeeming love

Here I raise my Ebenezer
Hither by thy help I come
And I hope by thy good pleasure
Safely to arrive at home
Jesus sought me when a stranger
Wondering from the fold of God
He, to rescue me from danger
Interposed His precious blood

O to grace how great a debtor daily I'm constrained to be!
Let thy goodness like a fetter, bind my wandering heart to thee
Prone to wander Lord I feel it, prone to leave the God I love
Here's my heart, O take and seal it, seal it for thy courts above

Summer seems to have begun

2011-06-28T09:16:00.000-07:00

In five days I leave for Drumheller. I'm going to the Canadian Badlands Performing Arts Summer School...for 3 weeks! I will be able to participate in the Canadian Badlands Passion Play and go to some Rosebud Plays. I'm really excited about this and I can't wait! Trying to get together with friends before I leave is proving more difficult then I thought, with only four days to work with it gets complicated!

After I come back from Acting school I might be leaving for Manitoba to stay with family for a week, without my immediate family! It would be so sweet to be able to do that, it's still tentative but I know it would be just fantastic! After all that Traveling I'm going to be volunteering at my church's day camps and then I'll have two weeks of relaxing, I'm looking forward to it!

Throughout this time I will also be starting to study for next year's Quizzing materiel. Hebrews and 1st and 2nd Peter. I'm beginning on August 1st! I plan to turn off my Facebook account starting September 1st during the week but resuming Facebook during the weekends since most people use Facebook as a means of communicating with me. I find facebook one of the biggest distractions in my academic and studying life, so I'm going to minimalize it as much as possible.
That's the plan, I hope I can stick to it, but it's summer, I'm going to have fun!

-Ainsley

Skimpy

2011-06-26T17:02:00.000-07:00

Looking through peoples photo albums on Facebook this afternoon because I was bored, I noticed that so many of the photos are of my friends, dressed with low cut shirts, short shorts (and I mean short!) and their make-up done perfectly, usually in the position of leaning down, smiling, and looking in the mirror in their bathroom. "Seriously?" I ask myself. What do you think people are going to say, think and ask after you post these on Facebook?
I read comments like "Sexxyy <3" "Wowza" "smokin hot babe!" With boys thinking about sex about every 14 seconds (ages 14-25) what kind of thoughts do you think are rushing through their heads at that moment?
I even remember seeing a picture of a girl wearing a presentable shirt but her comment underneath was " thought I'd put away my boobies this time!" Now guys posted things like "awe, I miss your boobies!"
What kind of people are these anyway? These are guys who go to my youth group, who come to church, who serve with our Children's ministry!

Our battle for sexual purity does not rest in technical purity. No, We must guard ourselves from all impurity. Girls who dress like they are whores are going to be treated as such. And if your thinking is of the "Even if I'm on a diet it doesn't mean I can't look at the food" type, then wake up! How hard is it to just look at the food and not indulge or even imagine yourself indulging. As girls we should be Encouraging our brothers to stay pure in thought, and for you guys, learn to bounce your eyes. don't let them rest on a tempting object.

I know this can be hard, I still have many, many struggles. But remember that we are not alone in this battle, we have help! God is with us in every situation, including this one!

"No temptation has seized you beyond what you is common to man. And God is fathful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted He will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it."
1st Corinthians 10:13

The Jets are back!

2011-06-24T11:42:00.000-07:00

I'm excited for tonight's announcement about the name for the Winnipeg NHL team. In a few hours it will be announce and hopefully the "Jets" will be better then ever this year!

Change is good

2011-06-22T10:29:00.000-07:00

I redid my blog today. I believe change is good.

I looked up acting schools this morning, Vancouver is the likely target at this point, no visas needed, has great schools, and it's said that Vancouver will be the new Hollywood.
But why do I bother? Really, when I graduate, in three years (That's a long time, or at least that's what I keep telling myself) will I even still want to act as a career? really speculating, I beleive I will still enjoy acting, weather it's just as a hobby or as a career I'm not sure, God knows, He always does. He'll keep me posted.

Good to hear your voice

2011-06-21T20:11:00.000-07:00

This evening I got to talk to my aunt in St. Agathe in Manitoba for an hour. It was so nice to be able to listen to what is going on in her life lately and let her know what is going on in mine. It's such a great thing, some ones voice I mean. Letters, messages, emails, they're all good, but to hear some ones voice or see their face is something special! It's a buzz feeling, it's like, well, it's hard to explain but I get a tingle in my spine on the back of my neck when I hear the voice of one that I care for. Writing, typing, or even texting is nothing in comparison.

But even more so, is The Voice. Hearing God's promptings must be the most amazing feeling on the earth! I've never actually heard God's voice in a physical form, but I sure as Heaven have heard god speaking into my life, guiding comforting, and leading me. It's mystical, enchanting, and somewhat humbling to know that the God of the universe wants to get to know me, wants the best for me, and knows what I want when not even I know what I want! There's nothing like it!

-Ainsley

Not This Time

2011-06-19T09:19:00.000-07:00

casting decisions were made this weekend for the musical "Anne of Green Gables" I had auditioned but I didn't get a part, but you know what? I loved the experience! Never had I ever auditioned for anything in my life, I was so happy that I was able to participate in the form of auditioning.

Most of all though, I'm happy that because I don't have a part, I can do quizzing next year! It was going to be a though year if I were to give up quizzing even if it would have been only for the first half. It would have damaged my chances at Great west and also my chances of really digging into Scripture I think I would be more concentrated in the script. But there are more auditions coming.

"The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe" in September, and "Little Women" Near Christmas time. I'll book for those and hope, once again, to win a part!

Also, I went to a home school grad for Caleb Senneker, a friend of a long time. It was so nice! I had no idea what to expect, but it was so well done and executed wonderfully! I was able to catch up with friends from multiple social groups during the fellowship time, which was great! I'm looking forward to seeing what God has in store for Caleb.

Lastly, I wanted to share a verse that has been on my mind for the longest time. it's Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

-Ainsley

Done!

2011-06-17T09:59:00.000-07:00

Grade nine is over today. Really, I don't feel like this year was beneficial in my academic life as much as it was beneficial in my spiritual life. I learned tons about God and how much He loves me, cares for me. I learned about God's timing, He has plans for my life and His will is always best. My wants and needs (or rather what I think I need) are so unimportant.

I did learn in school though, I learned that if this was Junior high...I'm not looking forward to highschool! I don't mind writing papers, essays, reading,. But science and math is of no use (again, my "needs" I think I don't need science and math) to me.

It will have to get done though. And the way I see it, In the picture of life, three years of highschool don't take long at all compared to the rest of life, so let's get the most out of it!

-Ainsley

Oh where has my bonnie gone?

2011-06-15T13:39:00.000-07:00

Life.

How could something so complicated be so simple? I am pondering this and I felt like blogging about my experience with life.
When I was young learned that life was precious. My grandma dying created this picture in my mind that when people get old they die, it's sad, but everyone goes to heaven so it's ok. I mean, that's what everyone said at the funeral. "mémère is an angel now, looking down on you and watching you." they would say. When we arrived home from the funeral my sisters and I received a long talk about where people really go. how there are only two options. Either they know and love Jesus and go to Heaven or they don't know him and they go to Hell.

From that point on I wanted everyone to know Jesus, I still do, but my motives are different then before. Then I would ask my uncle in front of everyone if he knew Jesus, everyone would laugh and I would be left asking myself why. I would tell them that he needs to know Jesus, or he will go to hell, they laughed more. As one of my "evangelistic approaches" I would ask to pray for the meal at grandmas house and pray for everyone by name who wasn't Christian and ask that they would try to know Jesus soon, my parents gave me another talk about not praying like that after we got home.

Life was a big thing for me, I wanted to enjoy it, sometimes I would sit in the grass in a field during a picnic and stare at the clouds and grass, the mountains and birds, the wind and trees and I would take mental pictures in my mind so that I would be able to appreciate life and it's beauty.
As previously told at this point I still believed that people died when they grew old. But when my family and I ran an orphanage in Africa for seven months that changed my view of this, sometimes overnight we would go from thirty babies under two years old to under twenty babies. While there I had my favorite baby, Madeliene, I was teaching her to talk and walk when, while we were in the capital, she just stopped breathing, I couldn't imagine how such a short life could just die like that. Life doesn't last till all are old. I could go on and on about young poeple who in an instant are cut short of life. But I know and trust that God had a plan for each of them, His plan is not always ours. It's a hard lesson but it's the truth.

Some people do grow old though, I visit senior homes on a monthly basis now, but used to go every week, (thanks high school) I met a woman who was quite "with it" compared to the rest whose name was Patricia. We talked long about many things from her life to mine, from music to school. I always felt like bringing up faith in the conversations but never ended up doing it. One morning I was reading the newspaper and happened to look in the habituaries, Patricia had died. The paragraph talked about her vibrant love foe her Lord however, and I knew that God had her in His arms at that moment. Life goes and comes. God cares for each and every life. he wants all to know His son Jesus Christ, but some don't make it to his arms. I know many who have taken that path also. There are many not so pleasant stories I could tell.
Life goes by fast. You never know when it will end, you could only have a minute left to live or maybe many years, maybe a decade, maybe only a week. Let's live then! Carpe Diem!

-Ainsley

Waiting...

2011-06-14T19:11:00.000-07:00

Although I have received my email confirming my admission to the Canadian badlands Performing Arts Summer School I haven't yet received my promised "Package". I am quite annoyed at this. But at the same time I am willing to wait.
Waiting seems to be a huge part of life recently for me. I am waiting to hear more about the casting for "Anne of Green Gables" and I am learning more and more about waiting for true love in life, Waiting is vital I believe though. In many ways God teaches us through patience, humbling us to receive His will.
Waiting on Him,

The If Only Game

2011-06-09T11:41:00.000-07:00

If only... I've been starting a lot of my sentences and thoughts with these words lately. It's not a good show at all. We shouldn't be living for if only s. We should be living with what God has given us, weather good or not good (in our own opinions). My if onlys are right now mostly about Math...the most horrid part of my year thus far. little work during the beginning and middle of the year means work OVERLOAD these last few weeks. In nature I am a lazy procrastinator, If I don't feel like doing something It takes a lot of work to get me to do it. And I have to pay for it in the end.
Tonight I audition for "Anne of Green Gables-The Musical". I'm a little nervous, but I hope to just have fun, get experience and if, by some stroke of luck I get a part that would be out of my mind! If I do get a part though, I would have to work so hard next year, with my first year of high school (including Latin, Logic, Chem, and a whole spanking new math curriculum, this is only the new stuff on top of what I'm already doing this year!) Quizzing (If I want to make it to great west I'm going to have to do text and study consistently and hard.) and Violin (i"m not a beginner anymore says my teacher no more half hour practices) Sometimes I hope I don't get a part for the sole reason being that I don't want to work that hard!

But one condolence is that I have been accepted to an acting school this summer. Three weeks of pure intense acting! Maybe not for you but this is bliss to me!

In theological matters, I have been pondering and researching on the role of woman in God's kingdom. Should females be pastors? Teachers in the church? If any of you have thoughts on this please comment! Next week I am talking about this subject with a friend of mine who is a female pastor, to see what her take on this is. So far I am assuming that a woman in a lead position in a church isn't quite biblical, I mean how can a woman if, say she is married be her husbands humble servant at home, but in church be his superior? Anyhow. I don't have much time to go into a lot of depth at the moment, but you all know how much I love talking about subjects such as this. So Phone, message, email me!

Quizzing

2011-03-09T15:22:00.000-08:00

Quizzing has been a blessing in my life for four years now. I am always so happy to go to practices and tournaments. God has used quizzing to lead me closer to him though the people I meet at quizzing, and also through the competition itself. and yet every year, I get dissapointed at the end of a certain tournament. every year I mess up my game somewhere. Great west. It's been my quizzing goal for a few years now and I have never reached it. this weekend could change that, or it could make the situation worse. I REALLY hope that I quiz well this weekend and that I make it, It would be amazing, and I would love every second of it. prayerfully and hopefully I prepare fr this tournament like never before. studying like a maniac and practicing seriously. My team is solid, and I hope to quiz out once and get about 1-2 questions a quiz. My goals, provided every one else is quizzing at the same rate they have been all year, will get me into a good spot for Great west. Prayer is appreciated.

perfection, Perfection

2011-01-18T15:33:00.001-08:00

Why are some people blessed with it and others aren't? why are some blessed by it and yet don't realize it? and the ones who aren't blessed by it realize it more then ever. I guess there has to be uniqueness in the world, and if there weren't any ugly ( do I dare say it?) people then we wouldn't realize how pretty people really are, and yet there is the onside of people I bet some people who look perfect on the outside look terrible on the inside, maybe even ugly. not saying we should be judging people, but what if there was someone as pretty on the outside as on the inside? or would they be to proud? maybe it's better they don't realize how pretty they are. or at least acknowledge it and act like they aren't hearing that they are beautiful for the first time ever. anyways those are my thoughts at the moment, if you bothered reading this please comment this thought is still being processed as you read this, unless this is like 2020 or something. anyhow, It's an odd thing to think about at a moment like this but if I were one of those skinny, fair skinned, people, would I change in my attitude? even going further, if I were a wealthy, or influential, or popular person, would i change?

been thinking...

2010-04-18T16:38:00.000-07:00

lately I've been learning how impossible the Christian life is to live. Trying to keep a Godly balence in virtually every area of my life will never be possible...unless I rely on the Holy Spirit to help me live a successful life.

Faith, Hope and , Love

2010-04-05T08:46:00.000-07:00

1st Corinthians 13:13 "Now these three remain: Faith, Hope and Love but the greatest of these is Love."

Why is Love the greatest?

Easter Thoughts

2010-03-25T14:21:00.000-07:00

As I think about easter this year I think many things its sad that when I hear the word "Easter" the first thing that comes to mind is choclate, colored eggs, easter bunny's ect. My second thoughts are about Jesus and the ressurrection. As I pondered this I started thinking about how it got to this point, First easter is a sybol of jesus comming alive again and defeating death! then The world turns it into The easter bunny, choclate and eggs, and who doesn't like choclate? its a nice thought i guess. But what about Jesus? didn't he give us the best thing to think about at easter? LIFE! because He died we have eternal life! mark 16:11: "When they heard that Jesus was alive and that she had seen him, they did not believe it." maybe thats why most of us don't think of Jesus first. i know that some in corinth thought so, 1st corinthians 15:12-32 Paul explains why there is the ressurrection of the dead, "our preaching is usless and so is your faith if there is no resurrection of the dead" I don't know random thoughts I guess from Ainsley. anyways that was my bible reading of the day and it got me thinking, so there was my thinking, Have a good one and remember that with God in your life every day is an adventure!

Quizzing, Justin, Busy, Oh boy!

2010-03-21T19:32:00.000-07:00

dear oh dear! been awhile, but I should probably let people know whats goin on in my life, if anybody even wants to hear about my life, but whatever! I got home today fromWinnipeg, My cousin Justin is in a stage called Aproching end of life. its very hard to handle for me, he is very weak and can't stand or walk he sleeps alot and is very skinny, I cry almost everytime I see him, A few weeks ago he got a call from Mr. Garth Brooks! His favourite Singer, they talked for about 45-50 minutes Garth also talked with Jus's mom and little brother. At the quizzing tournament marcg 12-13 I did splendid and I am very proud of myself but because of Jus and other things I was quite distracted and Didn't do as well as I had hoped, I did not make it to great west. But I have told myself that next year I will study study study! My life will be quizzing and school, I will be the top quizzer (or at least top 5) at every tournament, I will go to great west and do amazing! But this year I have other things then quizzing like Justin which require my attention also. Please keep Justin in your prayers and pray for his family too, as they are having to go through al this with him. well, my life right at this moment is a bit sad, a bit dissapointing, But No one can ever make me feel unloved! i have laid my burdens at the Cross and I can live because He died and that makes me want to rejoice always no matter the circumstance, I hope throughout this week I have shone my light in a way that is pleasing to Him, Anyways that was me today, kinda what I do on this blog blog out whatever I need to let out, I don't like to hold things inside. so yeah.

Faithful

2010-02-04T08:43:00.000-08:00

don't you worry I have been faithful to my promise of reading 12 chapters a day. But I have decided to only write about what I feel I need to write, I think that some thoughts are not to be said to random people who stop by my blog. lately my reading has been good, I have been really busy though (preparing for the quizzing tournament) so I read really fast, not paying attention as much as I should. throughout it all though I find that God reveals himself through His wonderful world and through His word. I am apreciating this more the more I read. last night I sang in front of the youth at my church, it was great! Its the only place I don't feel nerves. I know that the people there are not there to judge me on my talent as a singer. We are all there to Worship God, praising Him for all He has done. I hope I an do it more often. who knows I might have a future. Maybe...

Fallen

2010-01-28T15:46:00.000-08:00

Well, I did it, i read the first twelve chapters of the Bible from the creation of the world to the call of Abram. I have never realized how long 12 chapters could be, but I did find it very intresting. they are all stories that we have all heard of as children, creation (Who created the earth? God created the earth!) the fall, cain and abel, the flood, abraham? but did you realize ever how amazing those story's sre really? I think of me being the sunday school teacher for two year old right now, and I teach the story of creation as God created all the animals and all that, but did you ever realize that GOD CREATED ALL THE ANIMALS!!!! who else could think of such a design as a humming bird, girrafe, and US! all the people who have studied the human body, they work for years and years, yet God spoke all that into existance! its amazing! I pray for those who think we are evolved from premates, where did thinking come from then? which came first? the clotting system or the need for it? how many of us needed to die before we got this evolving thing right? I pray that God may open their eyes that they may see the silliness. well, ive got 99 days left and I have gone for 1 day, remember that with the creator of the universe in your life everyday is an adventure!

100 days left!

2010-01-27T16:29:00.000-08:00

New Year , New Life!

2009-12-31T08:42:00.000-08:00

I used to live for the moment, if I saw a waterfall I would close my eyes and imagine myself in a magical paradise, using my imagination I would live for the moment . I find that this year, time passes I would be there I would enjoy it but it passes without anything staying with me. my goal for the new year is that I will live for the moment, live it for God that I may take in what God has placed in front of me. I have been trying so hard to get it. but I didn't realize that what i had to get was that God has done this so that I can realize Gods amazing creation. i don't have to use my imagination to make it wonderful. I just need to look! at the little things he does for me everyday, i get to sit when i want to, i get to stand when i want to! and at the big things He has done for me , he has made the mountains, the oceans, the rolling plains. all this so that we might see His glory and sing praises to Him. Thanks be to God! i think of mary's song in luke ,

And mary said:
My soujl glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior for he has been mindful of the the humble state of his servant. from now on all generations wil call me blessed. for the Mighty one has done great things for me-Holy is his namehis mercy extends to those who fear him from generation to generation. He has performed mighty deeds with his arm, He has scattered those who are proud in thier inmost thoughts. ect.

its how i feel at t his moment. my goal is to feel like this everyday for always.

my cousin is doing all right. he has lost alot of weight and has only 4 more radiations left. his hair is going away. please keep praying for him . he had an MRI on tuesday night. he likes the staff where he goes. and he loves to talk! cant wait to get back to Calgary, oh yeah! i am in winnipeg! forgot to tell you guys! anyway, happy new year and please comment! tell me your new years resolutions!
joke: IF WE ALWAYS FAIL OUR NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS WHY NOT RESOLUTE TO EAT MORE JUNK FOOD AND EXERSISE LESS?

Reflecting on christmas

2009-12-23T13:11:00.000-08:00

i got an email a few days ago about how its Jesus birthday we are celabrating and most of us often don't even send an invitation. instead we send invitatuions to random people and people dressed up as someone we call Santa Clause . and all the children run to him and hug him and i realized that jesus is standing in the corner waiting for His hug His arms are stretched out his smile mmore brillient then Santa's. yet all the children passed him whithout giving him a second glance. why has the world traded the truth for so many foolish lies? another reflection is that my pastor was talking about how the Queen , when she does a 12 day exurtion to some random city she brings with her all her maids, nurses, doctors, chefs, probably a few dogs, wardrobes of dresses, pants and shirts. all this costs $20,000,000 then you think of the most royal perso in history, god with us!! Jesus in a stable laying where animals eat. the first visiters of Jesus were lowly shepards, why? maybe to show us that Christ is for all of us. from the lowest of lows to the highest of kings! He doesn't love one more then the other, nor does he pay more attention to one or the other. he loves all of us just as we are. thats what i am basing my christmas on this year that Jesus is the reason for the season and that this is for His glory not mine. Soli Deo Gloria! (to God be the glory alone!) days till christmas: 2
Merry Christmas!

Louis and the good Canter

2009-12-23T13:01:00.000-08:00

on fridayi rode a horse named louis. he is alot taller then charlie, he is kinda wierd he gets alot of special attention. for instance he pulls back whenever he is tied up so i put him in a special stall which is like he others but i hook a rope behind him so he can't get out instead of tying him up. he walks around in circles at will and puts his head waaayy up when i want to put his bit in. but riding him is a dream! his strides are well balenced and his Canter oh his canter is so dreamy!!! its so light and fluffy! charlie canters like a camel and i have to concentrate on staying on the horse. whith louis though i can concentrate on keeping my heels down and head up hands relaxed...ect. his coloring is really pretty appaloosa! spots all over he has brown and black spots and he is white mixed with a dark brown.

Tea with the Queen!

2009-12-17T13:37:00.000-08:00

i have had many dreams about being famous. but hasn't everyone? all have wanted to be known when you go to a grocery stoe you would get looks and kids running up to get your autogragh. i think it would be nice, but only one in a million get that sort of attention. i am reading a biography on Eric liddel he was given the gift of fame, he used it to show God's love to others he spoke in churches and was known wherever he went. He used it for God. i think thats what i would do but the pressure would be more towards doing what is politicaly correct. i think of the verse "what good is it for a man to gain the whole world yet lose of forfiet his very self?" i mean that if i were to gain all i could in this world and be famous, yet to get there i would be not following God's laws, then why do it? i would much rather be myself, a happy blogger! well those are my thoughts. Days till Chrsitmas:8 : ) tommarow i get to ride a different horse his name is Louis hes a appaloosa. we are going to winnipeg to visit. its really hard for me to be there among such a sad people. i thnk about my cousin now doing radiation and i think aaout all hes going through . please pray for him as he and his entire family celebrate this Christmas toghether.

3 days!!!

Amazing God

2009-11-26T15:05:00.001-08:00

From the highest of Hieghts...

To the Depths of the sea...

From the colors of fall ...

To the fragrance of spring...

every creature unique in the song that it sings...

god, you are amazing beyond words you dreamed up the sun and you give source to its light! yet you conceal it to bring us the coolness of night! you are indescribable, uncontanable . you place dthe stars in the sky and you know them by name! God your buety goes boyond that of the sky!

why do you even consider me a lowly man? when you placed the stars in heaven? yet, you crown me with glory and honor.

Psalm 8: 1-7 (Ainlsey version)

Quizzing in Edmonton

2009-11-22T12:12:00.000-08:00

on the weekend I quized in edmonton for a tournament. my team did well we almost got to finals. i made my first challenge . Robynne got her third question wrong and went to sit down, i challenged that the door to the room as open for at least 10 seconds during the time she was anwering the question and that it could have distracted her from answering the question. the quizmaster (Paul) accepted!!! we went on to win the quiz by 30 points!!! it was an amazing win and it carried us to another quiz in which we lost but i was fine with that. during the awards my friend got top rookie! it was a great tournament! but one thing that spoiled it was that right where my ribs start it hurt almost like a sharp skeezing pain. during the bus ride it traveled up my chest and up into my throat. it was unbearable. thank God laura a nurse was there and she gave me some tylonol. it helped and i felt better the rest of the bus ride Adrianna and I talked almost the whole way about all subjects . near the end i started the game of "honey if you love me..." it cuntinued till the end of the ride we brought the janz girls home then i got home just in time to fall asleep and have a 10 hour sleep in my warm fuzzy comfortable bed! ahh bliss!!! my pain hasn't come back so far so i hope it was nothing too bad. my quiz book was returned to me by the Goldies this morning at church so i am very happy! well that was my weekend! remember that with God in your life everyday is an adventure! the picture is of old quiz-mates from last year i miss the humor (guy in center) from Alexs' jumping.

Greater love hath no man then this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. John 15:13

have you ever gotten the feeling someones watching you? i got that right now. Faith was watching then she left and i felt like she was still there. it kinda reminds me that God is always watching whether thats a comforting feeling or a scary feeling for you. it changes for me sometimes i am comforted cuz he knows what i am going through hes with me wherever i am . and then other times i feel scared that when i meet him in heaven hes going to know every little thing ive done wrong. which he does but he loves me the same as if i was perfect. i think thats special! his love is amazing and i cannot imagine life without Him. in fact if God was not in my life i wouldent have a life there would be no point to life,. remember that with God in your life everyday is an adventure! Ainsley

the verse above...it says friends but i am sure there were enemies tooo. heres my challenge to anybody reading this: answer this question. Would YOU die for a enemy? think about it.

terminal velocity part2

2009-11-16T14:07:00.000-08:00

it was great! igot three welts jasmine gave all of them to me because i stood in the corner as she shot ping pong balls at me. all toghether it was fun but i would have rather jasmine not be on facebook or cell phone all the toime. maybe not talking about the load of homework waiting for he at home or about her terrible teacher. I get it school is her life now. i am making a vow never to let school take over my life like that or facebook or a cell phone. on saturday night i went to raynas for a sleepover. that was a blast but i realized how much media i play at her house. i suggested playing a board game a few times but she quickly and easily got me back into the media world. its easy because i loove media. but i know i can get addicted easely. so i try to limit my time. today Honey chewed up my quiz book now i can't study properly. i regret getting that dog. satan sure has ways of making things look bad when they really arnent. but im frusterated right now. the pic is of some friends of mine and me at a quizzing tournament!

Busy weekend!

yesterday was...friday right? yeah! so i was so busy but managed to crawl on my belly to type on my blog tonight, well! like i said, i have had a busy weekend and the first thing i did is Wait! does friday even count as the weekend? well i am going to count it as the weekend! if you think diffrently then sent me hate mail whatever. any way i woke up as usual on friday morning at 7:00 am, and ogt out of bed went in the shower did my hair, had breeackfast and all that mumbo jumbo. at 9:00 am my mom and I left to go to my first english riding lesson! before we left we made sure we left nothing home. but we did realize as we were driving i needed some papers w eforgot, so off we went back the way we came and mom went inside to grab the papers, then we were off again, this time w emade it ! or at least to a dead end that is , it said "go right after the poles. okay... theres nothing there...we turned around and my mom phoned the farm, the directions on the website were wrong so we searched again this time turning out to be lucky to find the white indoor arena with a green roof. i got there and knew all my classmates already! win~!! so i caught my horse charlie and tacked up for the first time in english riding learning as i went. we lead the horses to the outdoor arena and did stretching on our horses, and then began trotting, it was very easy for me, i trotted alot as a western rider, then we took tures trottiing, then we went to the inddor arena and did more trotting, but this time in "two pointe position" it burned! two point is where the rider half stands in the saddle while leaning forward, it hurts your legs like crazy! but i did it "very well" after we cooled off our horses riding bareback. we untacked fed and turned out our horses and then i was off to go home and have lunch so that we could get to my gym lesson,
we got there as they were ding the sumo stretch, just like the picture. thn we played game sand reviewed the underhand serve. then we had to hury again to get to my quizzing tournament i got there early and we grbbed lunch before gpoing on the bus. as w drove i had fun with friends. w egot threre and i quized and aired out. but got htree right. we had great billets doris and i we billited wit our two female coaches too! it was fun. then the next day i quized out three times! twice without error! i placed 10th over all in he championship bracket. and got a kit kat chunky for it. sometimes i wish they didint through away these stats. and then i went home with my dad in his car and had two cold slices of pizza and now am writing about my weekend on my blog. now i am getting tyred and will crawl into bed and sleep till its time to go to church and serve in the kindergarden with my mom. after that i will sell dag cookies and advertize dog walking. see ya! and remember with GOd in your life evrything is an adventure!

~Waterslides!~

2009-09-20T08:49:00.001-07:00

yesterday we went to a water slide park! there were lots of slides one of my favourites was a group of slides that were the colors of the rainbow and you would ride on a mat down a circle in the dark then out in the open you would go down and down really fast! I enjoyed also a little river with a small current that would push your tube around and you could relax while cooling off from lying around. after that we cam eback to the resort and made supper lasangna, garlic bread and ceaser salad, and for dessert, ice cream! then we went for a short walk through the resort. calm and peaceful. when we got back we had a cribbage tournament and i lost the first round. then i was tired so i went t o bed. today i will be going to another resort to go swimming while my parents are at a meeting to get 75$ i would go too for the money! its hot and its good! but i do miss all the people at home. and my binou! and that phone call about the play.... well gotta go! GOd bless and let the spirit of the lord go with you!

LOonng daaaaaaaays...

2009-09-18T18:10:00.000-07:00

at four in the morning my house was stirring getting dressed, last minute packing and saying goodbye to my dearest Binou! by four thirty the house was quiet again exept for the cat mewling his farwells. we drove to the airport and at seven our small plane left destination: Pheonix! the three hour trip would have been much more amusing if we had a movie to watch, but instead i was forced to get some very uncomfterble sleep and try to not get clausterfobic. when we got there we hurried to a bus to get us to where our rented car would be, a tan toyota sienna! i love our van!! we then drove to a mall where i bought lots of clothes a pair of jeans and some shorts. i was really tired already so as we drove to our resort i fell asleep in the van. our resort has three bedrooms with big closets! a full kitchen and a large living room! i feel quite nice with the air conditioning. it is like 38 and tommarow is going to be 39!!! ha! this beats the weather back home! i wonder if i got that part in the play...they were supposed to phone today. well gotta go we are going to a "dive-in" like a drive in but in a pool ill tell you about it soon! God bless and serve your King!

Suprise birthdays

2009-08-19T09:07:00.000-07:00

well sorry its been so long since ive blogged i was in winnipeg for the weekend. my cousins 18th suprise birthday was a huge sucess we decorated the hall in a western theme and all dressed up! he walked into the doors and took two steps in and as suprised to hear 98 people saying SUPRISE!!! he then began saying things like this: "i hate you! " i hate all of you!" ill get you back! he said this was the fourth time his mmom suprised him with this sort of thing including meeting Goerge Canyon, and i don't remember anything else. after they took him into a room to get changed into something more apropiete (cowboy outfit) he came out of the room and was telling the story about how he had been dragged to the hall and then all of the sudden said to get his mom he was having a mini siezure. i saw his dad very close and went to tell him and another of his friends got his mom he was sat at a table and the siezure lasted about a minute. i don't think people realized what happend. good i wouldent want a crowed to watch as i had a siezure. my aunt said it was a bigger one. after that he was pretty good though. we had a great time Faith and I had to say a few words about jus and then other people said lots of things at one point me and one of Jus's friends named Nik played Happy birthday on our violins. and also at a time one of his friends reminded him of a incedent with a police officer...the police officer was off duty and jus was racing at 160km in a 100km zone...oops. he didn't have his squad car so the police officer said someone would send him a tcket through the mail. he hasn't gotten it yet. th espeech stopped and the lights turned off a little light of red started flashing and th eye of the tiger and the sound of sirens started a man dressed as a police officer came out with a giant ticket in his hand and pointed at Justin: "there you are!" and it was a bunch of fun when "shania Train" a fifty year old actor showed up and tryed to flirt with jus Jus did not want a part of it! she was a terrible actor but we laughed at how jus was acting. when she started stripping he was priceless, i am glad my mom got it on video. well this is it we went home the day after and i got to sleep in. ahh that feeling of not haveing to wake up is so good. but the tittle does say 2 suprise partiys doesn't it? the other one happend before both winnipegs, Rayna invited me for a sleepove at her house i entered and theres a big sing that says "welcome to horseshoe ranch" i started laughing as i was toured around the "ranch" by sydney i saw a tack shop with collectable hors efigures and webkinz horses she took me to the kitchen where i was served with pleasure by Alya and she said that someone named Rayna dropped off a preasent for me, i then started asking where Rayna was! then there she popped up! i was so happy! i opend my present and inside there was a big bag of marshmelllow bananas!!!! my favourite! i then ordered from the "horseshoe Cafe" a hot choclate, and chips and onion dip! yum! the rest of the evening and following morning was very fun! well this is where i say farewell and dont forget to serve your King! god bless.

Winnipeg!

2009-08-05T13:21:00.000-07:00

last week my family and i went to winnipeg . our family there seems to be doing fine considering the circumstances with my cousin. we visited alot with my moms brother (my uncle) and his family. they live on a farm south of winnipeg! they have lots of animals including Horses, chickens, a duck named Coco (who thinks hes a chicken!), a cow (very FAT!), and baby turkeys! (they are NOT cute) and they have the most adorable kittens in the world! when we got back binou looked ten ntimes bigger! that might be because we let my grandma and uncle look after our Cat, and when we got home we found three jars of our cat food in the recicling! we usualy only use half a jar in a week. anyway back in winnipeg my cousin is doing quite well considering hes on chemo and i think he said 24 other pills a day and 27 on the weekends. but he has about 1-2 mini siezures a day wich in the past have been him being numb on the left side, but lately he has startedv shaking uncontrolably he did it in a restaurante onourr last day in winnipeg and it last about 30-60 secondes, it scared me but within 2 minutes afterwords he was fine and we were talking and laughing again. on thursday of last week we went to a cabin my grampa's brother owns and we played in the water and i caught 2 fish! about 2 pounds each oh and i caught a snapping turtle too, but it let go of the line about 20 feet away of the pontoon. so that was my trip and i was exited to hear that Rayna my friend got back from camp the same day as us so tonight i will have a sleepover at her house! so yeah. God bless and go serve your King!

on saturday the 18th of july 2009 Ainsley Daumler put on some makeup for the first time! well she didn't eally put it on herself. A make up artist did it! she was a Fun, informative, and afterwords i looked great! before and after pictures were needed thats for sure! i was very suprised when she said to try some "gimme some plum" eyeshadow, i had never tjhought of purple on MY eyes before but when she dabbbed it onto my eyelids i looked great! my mom was too cheap to buy all that she used (which is understandable) so i got only maskara, blush, and eyeshadow but as a gift the lady doing my makeup for me gave my some of "that gal" which is just some primer. i had sooooo much fun and cant wait to put some on again! i love it alot and when i get some more money i want to buy more!

God Bless, And Go serve your King!

2009-05-20T14:06:00.000-07:00

it is spring even tough it doesn't seem like it today (it's snowing!) during spring i always think of God. i believe that General revelation is showed so much during spring. God's love is something i feel right now. my mom is leaving at 5:00 pm today and is going to Winnipeg to help support my family there. My cousin has a very rare brain cancer and is taking Chemo therapy until it doesn't work anymore. And i hope that during this spring he will see God through general Revelation. and that my mom will be a light in their world. i pray for him so much. and i hope God will Make a miracle. But His will be done not mine.

Camp Evergreen!

2009-04-26T13:17:00.000-07:00

this weekend was a weekend to remember. my family and I went to a beutiful camp called Camp Evergreen i have only gone twice as a camper in 2004 and 2007 but in the past six moths or so my family has voluteered at the camp while groups are there for retreats, camps, or just chilaxing. my favourite part of the camp is that it has alot of horses. i enjoy Riding the trails grooming and helping with tacking up and untacking the horses. ust plain fresh air feels good the only bad part is that it was so snowy and muddy and i had to do Dishes, make that three bad parts but other then that it was a fantastic few days! i did not get to ride this weekend because i had Drama at the same time as the trail rides and the zip-line! Darn it!! i love those things. anyway so yeah. thats my adventure of the past weekend!

God bless,

introducing... Ainsley's adventures!!

2009-04-19T16:25:00.000-07:00

hello!!

yes i am only a teenager but i have lots of things happening in my life. for instince i went to church this morning and the lady who spoke was a missianary from Niger! her service spoke to me and my heart was pumping out of my chest. my eyes started to water as i started to cry for all the people she told storys of. i have already prayed for them about a dozen times. another thing she talked about was the many projects she has been working on. one of them being distibuting musquito nets in the villages she has worked in. i felt soo pulled in at that moment. i talked with her later about my amazing grace and i am sending her the money i am making to her project. i am very happy about that!! then we went out with the Boshman's, some friends. and me and Rayna did not get along at all!!! i havent talked to her in like 5 hours. thats never happend before. and she is like one of my only friends. one i can tell secrets to and not worry about them being told, be there for me and not make fun of me, play on all fours (yes i do when i feel like it) without being emmbarest. yes she was a great friend but i feel like i am too mature for her now and that she hasent grown up. you know, like i am not playing with toys and on all fours, but she still is. and i do play on all fours sometimes still just not as much as before and i like make -up, fasion, accesories, girlie things more then before. and i guess she just is not there yet. and i am exremely sad. i cry every hour when i think of her. and i snap more then ever , to my parents and sisters and i guess to rayna too thats why we won't talk anymore. i snap. it sjust cuz i cant help it. i am not very pretty, so i snap on that. and all sorts of other things. any way, ya thats whats axiting right now. oh and if you want too, Rayna if you read this, please phone me you know the number. ya thats me. see ya (or ya's haha)

God bless,
Ainsley
