behind.the.scenes

Not long ago, I read some books by Nancy Rue, and they were called the "real life" series. Yeah, well, I kind of read them backwards, I think. I read the second one first, and then the first one last. Hahah, but I kinda liked it that way. It worked:) lol, well, anyway, the last one I read was really, REALLY good. Called "Motorcycles, Sushi, and One Strange Book" and it's where a girl stuggles with ADHD.

"In the first book of Nancy Rue's new Real Life series for teens, fifteen-year-old Jessie Hatcher has ADHD and often uses her bubbly charm to cover up her problems. But when her biological father appears from nowhere and tells her she’ll be spending time with him in Florida, Jessie finds she’ll need more than charm this time. In fact, a mysterious book might be the answer to her problems"








This book kind of showed me that, just because someone's annoying you or somethings going on with them, doesn't mean you shoudl judge them if you know what I mean. Like, this girl had ADHD, some things she did wasn't really her fault, her mom was all crazy, and she didn't really know her dad. So basically her life was messed up. Who's to judge a kid like that? It wasn't her fault that she never grew up with a father.

Yeah, I don't know, that's just something I learnt. We don't know what's going on behind the scenes of someone, do we? And some people (or no one) knows what's going behind the scenes with us? It's like, if we've just had a really bad day and then someone goes and makes it worse. Or doesn't like you.

Or, okay, this might be a better example: when a teacher is heaps mean, and says all this mean stuff to you, and all you wanna say back is, "you're not me, you don't know anything about me, so stay away" kinda thing. It's like they judge you about something, and yet, they have no clue what's really happening.

I don't know about you, but sometimes not judging can be SO hard. Especially if they've done all this mean stuff to you, you don't really feel like even TRYING not to judge, right? But it actually ends up turning out for good... and even if it doesn't seem like it, hey, it will it heaven:)

FeelingDown?

Have you ever had those feelings where you just really want to give up? Or when nothings going right... or when everyone hates you, or when you lose a friend? I reckon like, every girl in the whole WORLD has had those feelings. But has all that stuff gone on for way too long it's so hard to cope? And especially when you suddenly are a teenager, and your life just changes, like, full on? You get new friends, and lose some others, or you don't get any new friends at all but you lose all the ones you used to play dress-ups with back when you were five? Or even moved from everyone you love, and it missing them really hurts? And life's just too hard.

Well, I was reading my bible the other day, and I started in Psalms, because that's always been my favorite bible -- it's got really good stuff in it that helps me a lot. And then -- I was kind of going through a bit -- and I was reading it, and I was like, "wow, this guy went through so much...and yet, he still praises God." I mean, that would be the hardest thing for me to do! Praise God -- even though everyone hates you and your life is just so bad? I couldn't do it.

And then I read a bit more, and few verses were there that helped a bit, and thought I'd share that -- because we all go through stuff in out life, and a little lift ups might help just a little. And just a little bit of help, helps a lot:)

Psalm 10:12 - 14

Arise, LORD! Lift up your hand, O God.

Do not forget the helpless.

Why does the wicked man revile God?

Why does he say to himself, "He won't call me to account"?

But you, O God, do see the trouble and grief; you consider it to take it in hand.

The victim commits himself to you;

you are the helper of the fatherless.

Psalm 10:17 - 18

You hear, of lord, the desire of the afflicted;

you encourage them, and you listen to their cry,

defending the fatherless and the oppressed, in order

tha man, who is of the earth, may terrifly no more.

Psalm 9:9

The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed,

a stronghold in times of trouble.

A letter to me

The other day, I was staying the night at this place... with all these people lol:) It was pretty fun... kinda, I mean, could have been better, but heeey. Anyway, one of the adults got me and some other people to do what she did when she was younger... which was write a letter to yourself that you can open years later on like a special day... like... I don't know, your wedding day, when you finish high school, and all that kind of stuff.

And that's what we did. Everyone else -- except one person -- wrote a one page letter, and me and the other person, were writing for a while. I wrote three pages:) ahaha. Not much, but they were 84, so, basically in a journal, that would be about... six pages.

Anyway, basically all I was saying was how I was feeling just then, what I hoped I would feel when I've finished my HSC or got married, and whether things had changed a lot or not. I guess, it's kind of like a journal, except you write it for you in the future. I haven't written in a journal for ages, but it felt really nice to write this. It was really cool... that's why I thought I'd share it with you. 'Cause maybe you'd like to do it too:)

Put on some music, be by yourself or do it with a friend (a friend would be heaps better -- I reckon, but it depends... I guess:)) get some pretty paper to write on, or to type on the computer and print out on -- it doesn't matter:) Just write about how you hope things are going now (now -- meaning... when you're whatever age you want to be when you open it) little tips... or even things that bother you now, so that when you look back, you can see the changes... remember the hardships that might be inspiring for the upcoming years. Anything. Just be yourself. Make it fun.

Then put it in a special envelope and list it to: To Libby... in the future (for example). I also put the year on it, and the date I wanted me to open it. And then put it in a special place, and open it when the time comes. You'll love reading it... seriously -- it'll be pretty fun and interesting;)

And then -- if we're still blogging together -- we can tell each other about it, and how much we loved opening it and reading it when the time comessss:P

Haha... I enjoyed it... hope you do to:)

ejsong ♥ Emily Winston

The other day I was writing the 5th book in a series I've written. The series is for younger girls (about 7 - 10/9) and thought, hey, I could show you a few things, and give you a small... hmmm, what would you all it... review maybe, of this series. I'll start with the first book and go on from there (like to know what you think about the covers and all)

It's what every girl have to fight: coveting.

On Emily Winston's third year of school, her two closest friend's, Amy and Laura, wear the best closthes ever, and it seems so unfair to Emily that SHE doesn't get those cool clothes too.

But finally she gets what she wants. But then she wants more, and more. And that's when Mom realizes things aren't okay, and shows Emily something that changes her 'wanting' problem forever.

Emily never knew there were poor children, her age, in Africa -- she feels spoilt compared to them. Thanks to God, she gets a second chance, and next time she starts 'wanting,' Emily remembers how many things are ruined by coveting and how much she is blessed.

So... what do you think? Lol:)

Oh, and by the way, I was thinking the other day...how weird is this? Like, Emii and I both like designing and stuff (kinda funny how we both made a design blog at the same time without knowing it lol) and both like writing (oh...and blogging of course) and reading, and song writing. I was like, whoa. Hope you don't mind me putting this song on here emii....not copying u btw:) oh, and just to let  you all know, you have to check out a song she wrote...she put it on youtube, its realllyyy awesome, the songs been in my head all day lol :) so click HERE

Well anyway, here's the lyrics:

Help Me

VERSE:
I'm falling apart
I have gone so long without you
I need your grace and forgiveness
I'm fallin', grab me, I'm fallin' grab me
Oh, Jesus...

CHORUS
Oh, help me
I'm dying, I'm crying
Help me....
Oh I'm left alone, no ones here but you
Now help me, I'm desperate, I'm calling
Help me please, yeah
Jesus youre my God, please heal me
Oh lord... oh, lord....

VERSE
My heart is breaking
I can not do this alone
I need you
I need your comfort and joy
Flow through help me, oh, flow through help me, oh Jesus....

CHORUS AGAIN

BRIDGE
I'm fallin', grab me
