Laminin

OK. I have no idea why my writing is underlined.. ok but whatever. So. This is a picture of laminin. So you are all thinking right now "Ok Mercedes... cool?" I AM getting to the point! A few months ago I watched a sermon on video by Louis Giglio in class and at youth. This guy had my attention the whole way through this sermon! He brought up AMAZING facts that glorified God SO much. It made God look REALLY big.. the way he really is. I really suggest that you take a look at it. It's called "How great is our God" by Louis Giglio. Ok.. so you are still probably wondering.. "Ok.. so what's laminin?" AH! This is so cool. I love it. So what you see above is a picture of laminin. In the sermon Mr. Giglio goes off about how he really needed a big finish for his sermon. So he started talking about how he had talked to a scientific person who I don't really know the title of! And he told Mr. Giglio about laminin. He started saying how laminin was what held our bodies together, like the wire or metal pipe or whatever you use in a cement structure. ISN'T THAT AMAZING?! Our whole lives (not to mention all the billions of people who have lived and died before us) we have been held together with millions and millions of little CROSSES?! I think that is just TOO COOL!! Oh I love it. Salvation message right here! hahaha so yeah.. I really think you should check out that video.

Barbie

Ok. So I was really bored and I didn't have anything too too exciting to blog about. So here goes. I was looking for random words (well actually one word in particular, but I couldn't find it..barbindignageeous) and so I shortened that and looked up barbie Here is what I got:

Oh crap. It actually worked... ok nevermind... but the FIRST (lol) deffinition that I got was something along these lines:

Main Entry: barbiePart of Speech: nDefinition: barbecueEtymology: from barbe(cue)Usage: Australian slang

This one made more sense.

Bar⋅bie

   [bahr-bee] Show IPA

1.	Trademark. a brand of doll representing a slim, shapely young woman, esp. one with blond hair, blue eyes, and fair skin.

–noun

2.

Also called Barbie doll. a person, esp. a young woman, perceived as blandly attractive and vacuous. SO.. UGH I CAN'T STOP WRITING LIKE THIS... barbie is actually an australian word for barbecue. so when little girls are going on to their girlfriends "Let's play Barbie's! Let's play Barbie's!" They might as well be saying.. "Let's fire up the barbie eh mate?" Hope I expanded your thinking about Barbie, and gave you a clearer understanding.

average

Well.. today was pretty good I guess. ahaha. Except for the fact that it is Thursday and my schedule goes something like this... Science, Socials, French, Socials, Science. Sounds pretty FANTASTIC eh? UGH. I am just happy that tomorrow is Friday and I am going to see Carol Cartwright!! I am so stoked. I haven't seen this amazing woman of God in years. I call her Mama Carol. She is amazing. I happened to be at one of her services when I was baptized in the Holy Spirit.. and I was very young, I knew it was important, but now, I REALLY know it is so important and relevant in my life. Me and Zandra are going down to Nanaimo (With Mrs. Millar of course!) to go to the women's conference at Maranatha church. It's going to be fantastic. Carol Cartwright is going to be there! OH MY GOSH! I am so excited!! Another reason that I am so excited is that next Friday is a Pro-D day! WHOOP WHOOP! I am pretty stoked on life. 

OOPS!

Just in case any of you who read this actually take my advice and are wanting to go to the Easter Egg Scramble tomorrow, MY BAD it's not at Vanier it is at Comox Elementary. It was at Vanier LAST year. lol so hope to see you there!!

Good Friday

Well. Today is Good Friday. I went to the service at Mark Isfeld as usual, except this year it seemed to fly by way faster than previous years, when I would count down the minutes. Tonight to, I don't want to say "celebrate" but remember, I am watching the Passion of The Christ for the first time. We watched the first hour or so at school yesterday before it got to any of the brutal parts. And so far, it's pretty good. Accompanying me is Emerson and Mik. Alexandra was going to join us, but ended up having plans tonight :( So... tomorrow is the Easter Egg Scramble at the Vanier track at 10:00am. Sadly though, this year I can't participate... but maybe (since I have connections) I might be able to scramble with the rest of the kids :D Well... I guess thats all...

Asta la vista!!

(BY THE WAY. What does asta la vista even mean???)

MIK..

Happy Birthday Mom

Today is my amazing mother's birthday (her age will remain un-announced :P) I love her so much and I love having her to look up to. She sets an amazing example for me in her relationship with God, the way she interacts with people, and in the contents of her closet!

Mom,

You're amazing. I can't say anything more or less.. well actually I AM going to say more lol. You are always there to talk about things that I can't talk with Dad about JUST KIDDING! (Dad, you know I am JUST KIDDING!) But you are always there, and I love having you there to open up to whenever I am going through whatever teenage girls go through these days. You were always there to do my ponytail, paint my nails and pick out my clothes, and now you are always there to feed me, make me laugh, encourage me with my walk with God, and just be an amazing mother!
