So Jacqui is home! It's so fun having her home, and so good having my Vancouver 'sister' back here to talk to.
It's been a really good week actually. Well, aside from a few not great days I have already enlightened you about.
I have realised today how much I love Vancouver. Iknow that I (and many around me) tend to throw the word 'love' around a lot, but I really mean it. I was walking down the street coming home today after work, and I looked up at the mountains, and they were all dark green and beautiful. And it was about 6.20, so the sun was setting, and there were beautiful pink and orange clouds sitting all soft and fluffy all around the top. And I felt so peaceful. It was quiet and beautiful and crisp and it's so strange, but I feel so at home here. There have been hard days, but at the same time, there are hard days whereever you go, and I think I'm beginning to really know that I can face those hard days here, just as well as I did at home. Before this was home. Circular, I know, but good.
the DTS is going really well. It's been amazing, in the last few days especially, as i've seen (to my great privilege) God do, say and make amazing things happen, through and in our students, and our staff, including me. This 'job' of mine is sweet.
Will post again this weekend, then will ahve a bit of break for next week while we are awy at Go conference. It's gonna be sweeeeeeeet.
Love

Prayer stuff

So I cried today
My dad messaged me on the computer and told me my dog died. On October 4th. From a night of seizures and subsequent heart failure.
I didn't htink I would cry, but yeah, I did.
It's strange, cuz I know she's not a person or anything, and over the last 18 months I have had to deal with hearing about people I know dying while I've been in Canada and unable to be there with the people that are grieving. It's weird how just being away makes the emotions so different. In my head I can see the empty kichen and living room now and a part of me is glad that I'm not there realising that she isnt' there anymore, but at the same time I'm so sad that even as I write this, noone is even there, cuz I'm here, Alec is in Japan, Mum is in Singapore and Dad is in China, and I can't be with them either.
Sigh
But you knwo what? It's still a good day.
Had a really good one on one today, and I think that helped when Dad told me what happened, cuz really, it may seem heartless, but it gives a good big chunk of perspective, realising why I'm here and that really God's got everythign under control. I can be sad without it being a huge drama.
Though, that is aparently something I have to realise about myself. A development on the old "drama queen" statements that I used to get a lot, yesterday I was described as a "pan full of flour" While some people are pans full of slate, that when a big rock lands in the middle they are disturbed, but not all over the place. However, pans of flour, such as myself, get a rock to the gut and the dust cloud goes up and everythign turns into a gong show for the first day or so until the dust settles. Is this a good hting? a bad thing? or just me? I think for now, either way, here's to a bit of balance, and landing somewhere in between the two.
Jessa has promised htough, in hearing about my late-dog that she will refrain from calling me hill-dawg for at least a day or two. Thanks Jessa.

So it's another day in paradise
No really it's been a good day.
Have been tackling some interesting kinda thoughts right now
Nothing bad, just enough to chew on
Had our first outreach prep time today wiht out students all divided up into their teams, so though I'd post a pic of our lovely outreach team. Adam, Myself and Laura, ready to lead and rock Malaysia!!! YAY!
Am so excited for outreach but at the same time a little sad as none of my one on ones are coming with us, they are all going to the other location. sigh.
Had an interesting thought today too. But now I can't remember what it was. Got distracted.
This week is a really great lecture week. I love that after two really emo weeks, now I am being really challenged intellectually, so that the changes you feel like you want to institute in heart and spirit can be bolstered by commited decisions and thorough processes of hte mind.
HAve a lot to think about htough. And while tha'ts a good hting it means that I am really tired right now.
So it's short post tonight.
Will post prayer stuff below.
Love you lots
Hill
Prayer points
-Continued strength and unity for our leadership team as we weather the storms of a lot of busyness, tiredness, weariness, and all the other ness-es you cna think of that fit. We all love each other and we need to remember that on a daily basis!
-Continued wisdom and guidance about my one on ones and how to work with each of them in what they are going through
-Continuing relationship building that is going on here now that I am settling well and sorting things out a bit more.

So, welcome to the gong show that is my life.
The last two days have been hilarious. In a crying, panicked, kind of way of describing hilarious
You know.
Well ok you probably don't. Apparently when I am stressed or emo (emotional!) then I cope by being funny. Thus, when I am upset and try to confide in people, whom I have joked about the situation with, then they in turn joke with me thinking I don't care, and my feelings get hurt that they are laughing with me and not reading my mind and instantly understanding that i'm actually upset. Gong show indeed. But a good learning curve and a relationship builder for sure. I'm sorry if you know what I'm talking about right now, and I apologise. Though I already did that in person.
Sigh
Emo indeed. On the upside I have some really good soap, thanks to JahJireh family soapworks (aka good old YWAM enterprise!! If you need some soap I'll hook you up!)
So here's some food for thought. did an excercise in class last night, exploring the Father heart of God. The excercise started out to look at our names and the meaning of our names. Then after praying for a while and remembering back thinking of the names that we were called as kids. the hurtful painful names that stuck like burrs on our hearts, and weighted us down. We wrote them on sticky notes and stuck them on our shirts, then introduced ourselves to eachother using that name instead of our real name. It hurt, and there were a lot of tears as people realised what they had been carrying around with them. Then we pulled them off, and burned them. Then prayed, over night to ask God, our Father, for what HE calls us. What HIS name for us is. How HE sees us. I really really like my new name. Hillary isn't going anywhere, and I think for now, I'm just gonna meditate a bit more on this new name. But it's comforting that in the Gong show, God sees me. And He whispers to me. And He knows MY name.
So yeah, I think that a little emotional turmoil makes you stronger. Makes you hurt, but you know you are alive. And besides, things are actually, and objectively, going really well. Have attached a couple of pics below, and will make sure I have some fresh ones for the October newsletter. I love our students and I'm so excited for the next five months. I am also stoked to be going away this weekend with Jessa to visit my friend Layne on Vancouver Island. Blissful rest :) Aaaaand, tomorrow night we are all going as a school to Glenn and Lorrain's for a BBQ and then to a Vancouver Giants Hockey game. This is one of the teams that they draft the NHL from so it's gonna be awesome!!! plus Glen and Lorrain do AWESOME BBQ and BROWNIES!!!!
Anyways, it's bedtime, need to be at work for the homeless breakfast ministry at 6.30 so will love you and leave you with my pics of the day.
Will post something that is hopefully much lighter and cheerier sooner rather than later. With love and emo

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!
It's a good day. A day off work, and good sleep in, a new haircut, pavlova and TURKEY
oooooo and do NOT forget pumpkin pie.
Plus it's October and it's SUNNY outside in Vancovuer!
Like I said, it's a good day.
So I went to Old Navy yesterday, and faced my fear of horizontal stripes. I'm pretty happy i did too, green and pink and yellow and brown and all crazy mixes of stripes are fun!
So yeah, just thought I would post and say Happy Thanksgiving, because I realise as I sit here and type there is a lot I have to be thnakful for. I knwo that sounds horribly cheesy but really, there is so much blessing in my life, and so many amazing people that have been a part of it. So thanks...
Lots of love
Hillary

So I can't really even begin to explain or document the last few days.
It's been hilarious
And random
And intense
And well *shrug* here goes.
So have been keeping on keeping on with classes and one on ones and everythign else that has been goign on. It's been very exciting and after a whole two weeks now, things seem to really be picking up speed.
Outreach teams have been decided now, and I will be working with Adam and Laura heading up a team of 6 students. More details for that will follow in email and the October newsletter.
Friday was so great, and even though I was up at the break of dawn (actually nope, it was dark out) it was totally worth it. Part of this DTS is that staff are involved in the local outreaches, so Jessa, myself, and four of our awesome wonderful students help out at a breakfast for homeless people in our area. It was a really great opportunity to help out a really great ministry, and learning from Pastor Joe and the other guys in the ministry. Also got to talk to a really talented girl from the First nations youthgroup they ahve there, who has been having some trouble lately here. Reminds me of me when I was 14, so hopefully will be able to get to know her more and speak more with her.
I am having the night off tongiht, watching 'Legally blonde' and (believe it or not) about to do my nails! tehehe. How girly can you get huh
So for those of you who were interested in the "experiment" I got given a pack of pastry, so I decided to get a batch of mince and cheese pies going. It's so far the beginning of something, cuz the pastry wasn't ideal, and I havne't got the gravy quite right, but otehrwise, the pie was goooood. A 'not quite perfect but pretty nice' taste of home. Gave one to Ralph (who as an English guy, of course gets it) and Stefan enjoyed one too as a 'cultural experience' tehehe. It was a really fun night actually, Stuart and I set up camp at his place with pies, icecream and he had a suprise for me for the night.........Footrot flats on DVD!!!! It was soooo fun, and i loved being able to have company enjoying south pacific goodness!!!!! Soooo great, thanks Stuart!
Today was an entirely different, yet equally entertaining story. Last week I won tickets through one of the local newspapers for "The Magic Flute" Stefan and I got quite excited about it, and so planned to go on the train and bus out to Surrey (about an hour travelling)
However, after all of it, it turned out to be a really weird show, an ADAPTATION of The Magic Flute, re-written and re-told for children and from a Canadian First Nations perspective. It was good for what it was, but definately a *ahem* little outside of what we expected.
Oh well, it was a fun day hanging out with Stefan, and I really enjoyed it.
I am also on a quest to get my haircut. Hmmm
Oh and how's this for great. Got a new bankaccount with no fees for 100 transactions per month. Not a big deal normally, but HUGE for me, thanks God! ATM and no feeeees :)
Anwyays
The plan for the next week is all mixed up because of Canadian Thanksgiving on Monday. I'm excited to have my second Thanksgiving in Canada, and will be enjoying it relaxing at home with the Parizeau family, Stefan, Stuart, Henri, Pam and Craig and Jamie. I am bringing Pavlova!!!!! mmmmmm Am so excited. Turkey is the coolest thing. Turkey everything............
I think there is definatley turkey in heaven....
Ok
this post is long now
hopefully not too boring
i'm kinda sleepy
Will make sure I take some really good pictures for the October newsletter.
Love you all lots

So the saga of the bike chain
Don't get me wrong, please I beg of you, but if my bike chain falls off one more time while i'm grinding up some lovely Vancouver steep bit I'm gonna have a wobbly. Sigh
Though the look of grease stains on my hands and the inside cuff of my jeans makes me feel positively handy. As if I actually knew something about bike chains.....
It's alright though, I think I am going to have to suck it up and take my bike into the shop tomorrow during lunch. oh well.
Things are going really well, the first week panic attack stress moments are definately lessening, and it's been good to kind of get into a groove, and find a bit of normalcy as the routine begins to sink slowly in. It's crazy busy still, but at the same time, it's nice to know that I'm working really really hard, and on days like to day being able to see just a tiny glimpse of how God is already at work both in us and in our students. Had my first one on one today and after the dramas, uncertainty,tears and prayers to work out who would be in whose groups, she told me that all the girls had all talked about who they wanted most for their one on ones, and it turns out that what they hoped for was exactly matched with what ended up happening. Yay for listening to God's voice!
Am having a really good dinner while i sit here typing this, haven't had couscous in months, so it's nice to be back in that too :) Simple pleasures right?
So has anyone heard that song "From the Inside out" by Hillsong United? Froml the United We Stand album. Soooooo good, good album. totally awesome worship song, have been singing it a lot at church, and managed to get it off Stuart, so have been rocking it at home too. So great to start and finish a long day with some good worship times.
Am also in the middle of a Kiwi experiment. It's going to be great (well at least I hope so!) so will post picutres if i am successful......(yup i know that was vague, I don't know who could be reading this....!
Anyways, time to jet, so look below for some prayer points and I'll post again soon.
Love ya
Hill
Prayer points for praying people
-Outreach decisions are coming again, between the two Southeast Asian places (let me know if you want more details) and so the teams, and the leaders (i.e. me and the other staff) are praying about where to go, and where to get the money to go. Everyone needs $400 by Friday to pay deposits for tickets, and one or two students don't have that yet. So it's going to be an interesting time!
-One on ones and journals and general discipleship wisdom for me as I get to know my three girls better.
-Continued energy and health as the momentum of the schedule picks up and the weather gets colder
LATER TODAY - UPDATE
The experiment completely worked, it was a wonderful amazing success. Pictures coming soon.

So, today, on a lovely Vancouver Sunday I would like to share with you my musical inspiration of the day. I normally don't do blogs like this, but after being touched so deeply, (and laughing til I thought I was going to cry or wet myself) I figured I needed to share this with you.
This is my tribute to Wing. I heart Wing
Wing moved to New Zealand about 10 years ago from HongKong, and after some set backs with a far too rigid and narrow minded CD industry there, she decided to launch out, and put herself into the public light with her own money, and fulfill her obligation to share her god given voice with the world to bring enlightenment and joy and happiness.
My personal favourite would have to be "Wing sings ABBA" Who can beat that Dancing Queen.......
listen to free Wing clips on www.wingmusic.co.nz
Especially for you Nic and Ryan and Wade if you are reading, please listen to Highway to Hell, from the "Wing sings AC/DC" collection. It inspired me......(to run and hide)
