My Song

In Psalm 118:14 it says,

"The LORD is my strength and my song; he has given me victory."

I didn't know how many of you would know, but I am entering a school talent quest tomorrow (:-s) and as we were doing our family bible reading this even my eyes wandered across the page to this particular verse.

It really stuck with me for some reason. It's like, God you are MY life-song. All that I do, is you. It has all been planned and pre-destined by YOU! You are my strength, when I am weak, you are my song, AND...

He has given us the victory!!! Aren't we a blessed people. Anyway, I am entering into a school talent quest tomorrow, I am going to be playing my song...which I have written to God's glory.

Wait, wait, wait. What did I just say?

"Playing my song..."

In that verse I just shared with you it specifically said that GOD is my song. So this song that I have written from my heart is not my song but God's! This is HIS song! May it be used to honor him.

So yeah, please pray for me, that God's light will been seen through me and that this talent quest would not be about saying "Wow, she's good/bad", but will be about God, how God has been glorified through this situation.

I'll just share the words to my song with you, be blessed:

Who said that I could be forgiven?
You said, Lord, you said.
Who said that I could be made whole again?
You said, Lord, you said

As far as the east is from the west
As high as the heavens above the earth
Our sins are gone
His mercy’s shown among us.

Who said that the enemy would be defeated?
You said, Lord, you said.
Who said that you’d fill me overflowing?
You said, Lord, you said.

As far as the east is from the west
As high as the heavens above the earth
Our sins are gone
His mercy’s shown among us

I will praise you O God for you are Holy
I will praise you O God for you are Worthy
And I’m gonna praise You Lord
I’m gonna praise You.

As far as the east is from the west
As high as the heavens above the earth
Our sins are gone
His mercy’s shown among us

Our sins are gone
His mercy’s shown among us

Bored, Bored, Bored...but not THAT Bored.

Right now I am...BORED. If I could I would be on Sims 2 right now but it's chosen to break down on me...so yeah.

I'm now Facebooking, but as a like thingy-majigi (pronounced - thing-iii-maahh-jiii-giiii) on Facebook said

"Facebook is like a refrigerator, even though it's empty you keep on checking every five minutes to see if there is anything new."

So yeah...

Anyway. This whole blog is to help me fill my time...so...it's filling...

Bored...SO bored.

But since I'm doing this I'm not that, bored, anyways...I really can't think of anything else to write...

I wish I could write really long posts like I did when I was in Hong Kong, except I just really don't have anything to write about!

40 Hour Famine

Hey, I just wanted to give all my readers a warning. I'll be doing the 40 hour famine from 7:00pm this evening till 11:00am on Friday.

I'll be fasting from all computer use, (Unless I need to do something for school) and going without food.

Last year I reached my goal of $80.00, this year I'd like to get higher...over and above. But I can't do it on my own.

All will be appreciated, all is needed! Let's fight the global food crisis together! Thank-you all SO SO much.

School Life

Hey Peeps, my school has just enforced this new system called 'Censer Net' it's supposed to be really good and block a tonne of stuff that we're not supposed to see or do at school, such as most internet games.

But hey, I went out on a wing today and tried out blogger.com, and guess what (it's NOT blocked! Well, duh, if I'm on here now =D. But anyway.

I'm in English, with a sub-teacher, listening to Israel Houghton and Toby Mac. AWESOME I tell ya. But to explain my situation, our normal English teacher (Mr, Nicholls)is away so we are in class now with a teacher who doesn't know that we've already had enough class time on our COMPUTER (wink, wink, nudge, nudge) assignments, listening to music (which we're not supposed to do in class), and I'm on blogger which SHOULD be blocked.

So yeah I'm pretty happy at the moment. I know it's short but I thought I'd share my beginning/middle to an awesome day!

Everything...

Sorry everyone for the delay in this post, but it's been REAL busy round here lately. It's funny because I've actually attempted to write 2 blogs already and never finished them. There was no 'flow' to my writing. If you know what I mean.

It's like I would get halfway through and then 'Oh no, I've got to go do the dishes'! Or 'Oh no, I've got to go set the table'. So that blog goes out the window.

Life has not been at it's best for me lately, I'll give you an idea of what's going on. So my mum is in Hong Kong, 'supporting my sister'. Which is totally understandable considering the circumstances.

It's me and my dad at home, alone. That's fine for the first week, but by now it's already the end of the second week, I'm pulling my hair out! It is just SO frustrating not having the other half of your dad/mum around which is technically mum/dad.

I've changed classes, new teachers, new routine, new people etc. I'll sum it up with 'new'. I'm no longer with my best friend, fighting with the girls in my classes, and feeling not at all like a good friend to my BEST friend.

I'm constantly 'going to bed late' (eg. 9;30 pm) frustrated with dad, feeling totally out of sync, and then to top it all off while washing the dishes this evening, trying to listen to the conversation my dad is having with my mum, a glass slips out of my slippery hands, crashes into the sink, handle breaks; blood flow begins.

I'm bandaid-ed up, my eyes filling up with tears WISHING that life would hurry up and get better. I can't WAIT for my mum to get home.

It's not my dad, it's not really me (I hope) it's the fact that a vital member of my family if no longer here and we are expected to work as per normal. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?!?!

It's as if someone has chopped off your arm and then life is supposed to flow just like it always has done. A family is a body, it is impossible (not entirely) to live without someone. In my circumstance it is my mum.

My heart crys out for the broken family's, if you're considering this (Breaking up your family that is = Divorce) give it one last shot. Do it for yourselves, and for your children.

Sorry if this have been a bit downcast...well, actually, ALOT downcast. Think of it as a blessing, life could be worse, I'm doing pretty good. I'm alive, I'm breathing. I still do have both of my parents.

I go to a good school, and although life may be hard right now, at this very minute. There is a light at the end of this tunnel, Jesus, he can fix the broken hearted, give peace to the troubled, love to the wounded and a promise to us all.

One day we (I hope anyway) will rise to the clouds to meet our glorious saviour where he will take us home, the dead will rise and all who have suffered will be restored.

And for you, my niece, Maddy, I love you, and no matter how life turns out for you, may your life song sing. You are going to be a blessing to so many people. And when I see you on that glorious day, there will be no more pain and no more tears. All will be well. I love you baby girl! Keep on fighting!
