Trebellion at its Best

Right now I am sitting in the Calgary airport eating chinese food. I am about half way through a 5 hour layover. (yeah, you can do the math :) I've been here for awhile! Next stop...Abbotsford, BC!
I am in the food court right now near the window where I can see the mountains. It must be cool to live here and have a view like that.
Actually, now I am in the waiting area near my gate, because my battery was dying and I needed to find a plug in...which I did...and I also found another mac owner! :)

So far the trip has gone really smoothly. I feel about as familiar with airports as I do with...like...breathing. That's what 11 flights in 2 weeks does (India)....even though it was awhile ago.
As I was in the air I couldn't help thinking of a comedian who talks about flights and technology (click title of post to see link) and I really wanted to say, "omg! WOW!! I'm flying!" and see the reaction of the person next to me. Or turn to them and say excitedly, "You are sitting in a chair..in the sky!"
Haha...now you kinda have to watch the video to know what I'm talking about. Don't worry...it will be worth your time.

There's this little boy (three years old maybe?) who keeps coming over to the window, gabbering the whole time, and saying "Mommy, where did the plane go?" At least that was all that I could make out. That, and he's cute.

Anyway, one more hour to go and then I'm flying again!
Later. :D

Today's the day. There is a For Sale sign on our front lawn. Where are we moving? We don't know yet. Where do we want to move? Somewhere out in the country. Trees, quiet, space, and 15 minutes from town.... sounds lovely. :) (I'm trying to get excited about this. I'm not dreading it, but I'm not that excited either.) I think it is a good thing that we are moving...just alot of work! I think I must be lazy....or selfish. Anywho....I'm working on it.
SO, I did some cleaning of my room today and it looks really good! But then Albert came (the real estate guy) and he didn't even take any photos of it. *sigh...* "C'mon, Albert! I cleaned it just for you!" Haha...oh well. At least now it's ready for people to see....and tidier then I think it has ever been!

Annoying story: I went to the dentist last week and the lady told me over and over how lovely my teeth are and how I'm doing such a good job cleaning them. Basically, they look amazing! Then she does a quick clean, the dentist comes and says the same thing, and I go to pay...and they charged me...ALOT! And with a discount, too! For what? To get my clean teeth cleaned? Needless to say, I was a little upset. And Dad was so horrified and flabbergasted that he is going to buy me my phone now that I can't afford it. :P What a nice daddy!

Ok so enough about the dentist....Wednesday, I leave to go to Chilliwack, BC. That should be fun! I get to travel all by myself to somewhere I've never been. Yay for adventures! I will blog my interesting experiences, if I have any, which I'm sure I will.
I'm going there to see a friend and spend some time with her. And then of course, see God's beautiful mountains. Watch out! There will be some photos coming!

Until then,
Treble

This is a poem I wrote a little while ago for fun. :)


What Dreams Are Made Of

Thrills, lovers, fun, and dances,
Adventures, action, and second chances.
A world with colour and exotic places,
The best is when you see new faces.
This is what dreams are made of.

Where following the rules and being good
Doesn't seem to matter, and you don't do what you should.
But that's ok, because dreams have no restrictions,
Consequences, restraints, or limitations.
This is what dreams are made of.

Other times doing good is all that matters,
You would live and die for it, even if your world shatters.
How I wish that I could have strength like that in reality,
Imagine how far I could go if I gave all of me; my totality.
But, this is what dreams are made of.

I wish that I could live my dreams,
It's easier then living my life, it seems.
So all day I am excited for night,
Excited for what stories my mind, brain and heart will write.

Excited for an escape, an escape from reality,
Or rather, an escape to it.
For are dreams as fake as they are made out to be?
Or is that who I really am? Who I want to be...the real me?


Ok so that last part is a bit of a stretch. But this is how my brain thinks sometimes.

Today it was warm and lovely outside with the sun shining and a cool breeze that made it just the right temperature. It made it hard to stay inside...one downside of working in an office. I went out for a few minutes in the afternoon, though, and I could have kept driving all day! With the wind blowing in my hair and the music playing...mmm.
But, I have a feeling that it will not last long. There will probably be at least one more snowfall. And I actually hope there will be. We haven't had much of a winter this year...I'm not quite ready for it to go away yet!

So what do you think? Will it snow again? Or is spring here to stay?

So here's my thoughts on the rebellious part of my name. But first, here's a secret…I'm a bit of a rebel. Or at least I would like to be. And Now that I have your attention…let me explain. XD

When I say the word "rebel," what do you think of? Most likely someone doing something they shouldn't, something against the rules. Or maybe it's more like someone who just goes against the grain and doesn't do what everyone else is doing. Maybe being a rebel means doing sinful things that you shouldn't do…but, that seems to be what almost everyone is doing. So wouldn't you be more of a rebel to say,"no" to all that? It's just food for thought. And I'm speaking very general, too.
We could focus in on some things…like the church in this country. Most Christians aren't too worried about making their life count. They go to church and give their tithe and think it's ok. Well, it's not! I don't think there is much time left here on this planet and there are millions, even billions who do not know Christ yet! Everything is not ok!
It's easy to just…exist, and not worry about what's going on around the world. Oblivion is bliss. But God has been challenging me. I don't think we'll be in Heaven wishing we hadn't gone out of our way to speak to a certain person. Or wishing we hadn't sacrificed something we like, to see the lost reached. We're not going to be sitting in heaven thinking…"Darn, I wish I had of lived more for myself…"

Anyway, these are some things that I am learning and I'm trying to figure out what it all looks like…hence the name. So please….join me! Be a rebel, live every day like it is your last and do whatever is in your power to reach the lost! Be a rebel…someone who can be used by God and not worry about what others are doing! Be a rebel and pray!

This may be the greatest rebellion we have. Maybe the only one left.

Til next time,
Treble

P.S. Not all of my posts are going to be this serious…I promise!

You have probably guessed that trebellion is a mix between treble and rebellion. Why Treble? Well it's a musical symbol and I just happen to like music. Treble has also turned into sort of a nickname. And rebellion? There was a song that triggered that...but I don't really have a reason for that part of the name...at least not yet. Ideas are forming. I may write about them in a later blog.

Ok, so, I would like to give credit where credit is due, and say that I did not really have anything to do with the flaming treble clef. That was all DeaDraug's doing. You just have to know the right people! I think it looks stellar.

Anyways, it's kind of a cool thing that I really could say whatever I want right now because hardly anyone even knows that I have a blog...maybe I will keep it that way! haha...hmm...but maybe that defeats the purpose. What would YOU write if you knew no one was there reading and you could say whatever you want? To be honest, I probably would end up writing nothing. I guess it is good to have people to write to. So thanks.

Peace.
