Hayy,

My last couple of weeks since I last wrote have been pretty hard not only for me but for my family. We have just recently lost our uncle Jermey who we all loved very much. When I first found this out I didint even know what to say or do at first i didnt even cry i just went down stairs and watched tv as though nothing had happened but later i had relized that i had lost one of the closest people in my life the only thing that i was very happy about was that he was in a better place and that he no longer had to live in pain and knowing he was very soon going to die. And also i am happy that he knew god so one of these days i can see him again. But that is now passing over us but still we wont forget about him ever.Well other than that I have been pretty good I love our church and the friends I have there and I am Grauating this year from Grade 8 which I am also very happy about because i get to get dressed up all pretty... and I really want sing at the grad so if you could all pray that i win those try outs to sing O canada that would be great Oh yeah it was also just recently mothers day and my sister brandys birthday on the same day so i wish you guys a HaPpY BeLatEd BiRtHdAy aNd MoThErS DaY!!!! Love you guys lots but i think that i am going to take off buh bye!!

Love Bree Bear

I have been thinking alot about old times lately....

I guess that happens when you lose someone you love....

As many of you already know, our best friend Jeremy Nelson recently passed away after a long struggle with leukemia on May 4th/2006 at 4PM.....

He died the way he lived....walking in faith.....

He was at home surrounded by family and a few close friends, and was still making people laugh and praising God right up to the time when he became unconcious...

What a testimony...

I can only hope that when my time comes someday, I can face it with the same remarkable bravery and strength of character....

Things have been a little difficult on the friend front the last couple of years...

Shortly after we moved here, our friend Mike Lawry passed away. A couple of years previous after I had sang somewhere, he had said to me that when he died he wanted me to come and sing at his funeral.....I got mad at him for being morbid, but then two years later.....we were off to Williams Lake for his funeral.

Last year our friend Josh Wolbers died of a heart attack at age 30......We couldn't go to the funeral and that was hard.

Mike Young, a local pastor we cared about also died of leukemia....

and since we moved to Regina, there has also been people here....

It has made me think alot.

I now try to spend as much time as possible with my family and friends...and to heck with things like housework...(and you should see my house somedays....

I have never been good at letting people know how i feel, but i am working on that....

The truth is that none of us know how long we have here...and we could be gone tomorrow...

The Bible says our lives are but a shadow....

and I don't want the people I care about to not know how I feel....or leave things unsaid.

I am also profoundly thankful that I will see the people who have gone on ahead of me again someday....

Jeremy my friend, We love you and miss you.....

Kendal, Robyn and girls....

Sadness......
Silence.......
And then....a voice stirs
As gently as a whisper...
As softly as a breath...
"You are beautiful"
"I have known you Always...."
"Eternity"
It strikes me like lightening
It is like a thunderbolt
To my senses: my heart.
God
Lord of the Heavens,
Creator of the universe
Loves ME unreservedly
I am His.
Music......
Color.......
Surround me now...
Like the glory of Heaven
As beautiful as angels wings
As delicate as gently falling snow.
He thinks I am lovely.
Worship...
Flows from me like light
Like insence, drifting upward
And I praise him with all that I am.
Tears
Healing waters from my soul...
He catches them in the palm of his hand
Because I am precious to Him.
Joy....
Light.....

Frusterated....

I apologize profusely for the lack of communication in the past few weeks....

I haven't forgotten you, but our best friend passed away from leukemia and so we drove from Saskatchewan to Vancouver.

We were only gone for a few days, but since then, i have had a hard time processing what i feel.....

and so i haven't written.

Also, i accidently errased my pics off of xanga...which was kind of dumb...and since i only have basic service...it won't let me add any more.

I haven't decided what i will do about that yet.

I will write soon though....

P.S. for those of you who knew and loved Jeremy....or if you just want to check it out...we will be keeping his blog alive as a tribute to his faith, and eventually probably adding other stories of faith to it....There will also be pics.
