Patience is a virtue

Well, thought I was leaving for Quebec today but it's a no go prob be leaving on Saturday. I just wish I had budgetted better I figured I had only the weekend left so I bought 2 pizzas to last me the weekend. Totally out of food for now, but thenk God I have some change in my piggy bank to buy some food for the rest of the week.

It will give me some time to clean up my place and enjoy the time at home alone b4 moving in with my dad.

I managed to get a load of my stuff to my dad's place already only 2 loads left to go;). Part of me can't wait to get to Quebec the other part of me is scaired shitless. lol What if I can't speak frech well enough to get a job out there? Oh well guess I should leave the worrying behind and trust that my Father God will help me out with that.

Talk to you all later,

J'ai passez mon permit!!!

I took my road test yesterday and passed! I finally have a full drivers license; no car to drive, but I finally have it and it feels great!! Tomorrow I leave my old stomping grounds for Dryden where my sister Val is, looking forward to a week with her and the kids. Then off to Timmins for the 22 of may.

As Shakespeare said in Romeo and Juliet "Parting is such sweet sorrow." I have a bittersweet time leaving the Peg again but like I said b4 it isn't my home. After having a taste of Heaven I don't think I will ever be able to call anyplace on Earth my home. That will be such a great homecoming when I get home and my father says to me, "Well done my good and faithful servent, well done."

Where do you stand in your walk? Have you accepted Christ as your lord and savior yet? Or do you think I'm a good person I don't need anything else. Well brother I got news for you; you fall well short for Christ himself said that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. There is only one way to ensure your eternity and that is through the Son.

What that is too intolerant of me? Well let me ask you this, what is 2 + 2? If you got any answer other then 4 your wrong. Or how bout what about the law of gravity or the law of relativity. Are all of these intolerant too? I think not. Like wise if you think all religions lead to the same destination you are totally wrong and I'm sorry to say that unless you see the light you are lost for eternity.

All it takes is that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

Your saying to yourself, but Eric what does that mean? Well it means that all you have to do is say this little prayer and believe it in your heart.

Lord Jesus, forgive me of everything I have done wrong, I want to change but I don't know where to begin. Help me to change every day. I accept you as Lord and savior of my life and know that you died on the cross for me and that you rose again on the third day a conqueror. Thank you Jesus for saving me. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

Does running over the base of a pole count as hitting it?

I guess it does. I just got back from my road test and while parell parking I ran over the corner of the base of the pole; automatic failure. So I guess my next road test will be in French once I get to Quebec. Oh well thems the breaks right? On the plus side things are going well in the peg got a few days left b4 heading to Dryden then the following Saturday I'm off to Timmins. I hope dad can drive me to work in PQ LOL.

timmins bound for the 21st

Well things are looking up. I am going for my road test tomorrow. I bought my ticket home. Income tax came in today. Bought 2 used compaq computers for my sisters. One of them is a birthday present for Val and the other is so my sister Melanie can learn English through it only prob is I don't have any copies of Microsoft XP in French only English so if anyone has a French copy of win XP let me know.

Next challenge is getting the 2 PC's to their new destinations one in Dryden the other in Quebec. Going to remove the hd's and CD roms and put them in my carry on luggage so they don't get knocked around. Last time I shipped a PC purolator destroyed my hd so no I carry the fragile parts and let them beat up the case. It works.
