Kaleo's One Month!

Hey every pplz! Well today is May 22, Victoria Day 2006, but also one month since we all left eachother. How are we all doing? Well I can say that I am actually doing really well. Work is going awesome, Ive been there 2 wks and the are promoting me and giving me a raise. Im really involved with the new youth in my church and am now doing our "Kids Zone" program full time, every sunday as of last week! I am meeting my mentor and leader of the ministry trips to Paul First Nation, this Thursday. It's been cool also attending our weekly prayer meetings Tuesday nights, our pastor sorrda 'leads' it, or rather 'prompts' prayer and dissusion, and we pray for the ones in our church who are single parents or newcomers or facing death ect. We also pray for our debt-free building every week.

But enough of me, lets get going with some of the things that have been tuggin @ our hearts with Kaleo and all...So now that we've all been away from the Kaleo experience for an entire month, what are your thots? I can say on behalf of us all, that the memories (whether good or bad) torment us. Times like when Kelly's on the radio, or the new episode of LOST comes on and no ones there to watch it with us. Or maybe its not so much the medial things but rather ourselves, I know I find myself often saying things that just confuse ppl, "your scared to!" "HAND OUT!" or maybe thats just me? HAHA, yup, prettymuch anything I say around ppl confuses them, oh well. Oh and another thing that really gets me is the Worship. For example, to be honet, last night at this Worship concert by river valley, we sang 'Beautiful One'. That was honestly the first time I've sang that song since Kaleo, and its a great song and all, but it gets hard to sing when the memories begin to flow in. i think you all know what Im talking about. But why should we let oursleves get heavy hearted? What does the end of Matthew 11 say...Gods yoke is easy and His burden is light! Go to Him for rest, for comfort, for Love. It was cool this last sunday, I dont know if you guys remember that one prayer night we had after our 2nd week of prayer. Grant from Briercrest was there, and we watched that video from a 50 yr old speech made by (none other than!!!) a black man. That really really really long one with like a million attributes of God, well anyhow, we watched that in our church yesterday. I forget where you can find it but yeh, its definalty one to make you ponder.

Anywhoo, if you could continue to pray for me, my cousin is getting married this summer and he has asked if I would play my guitar or write a poem for his wedding. Now he's a Christian, but he's really fallen behind lately, he's living with his g/f and things are ok, but his family is really far from God right now. Pray that the right words would come, and draw tears if need be. Also for my sister, shes really really in depression right now, shes missing home. But the good news is shes comin up in June without David, and then in December he's coming up to get his landed immagrancy. So yeh, thats why I got the pictures, I had to, whats a Derkson blog without?

Hope your one month is going as good as mine, Love you all, praying for you all, God Bless!

PS. GO OILERS GO!!!
