Hope keeps all of us together

Hope is ubiquitous and free of cost
hope is the last thing ever lost...

You_Won't_Know

You Won't Know

Ooo…

We were best friends
You were mine
I was yours
Every single bend
We were together
Till forever

And I knew
Or so I thought
Nothing could ever separate

But what’s really behind the scenes
Is what you look at
Not what’s outside of a friendship
Or you’ll break their heart, or they’ll break yours
And you won’t know
Where to turn next
You won’t know

Ooo…

My heart broke
When you said
I wasn’t yours
Every time I spoke
You’d cut me off
And walk away

And I knew
Right on the dot
Everything can separate

But what’s really behind the scenes
Is what you look at
Not what’s outside of a friendship
Or you’ll break their heart, or they’ll break yours
And you won’t know
Where to turn next
You won’t know (x2)

Then I was afraid
What if it happened again
What would I do then?
So I turned and walked away
And looked into the light
I needed help, cause the only thing repeating in my head was…

But what’s really behind the scenes
Is what you look at
Not what’s outside of a friendship
Or you’ll break their heart, or they’ll break yours
And you won’t know
Where to turn next
You won’t know

Identity In Him:)

2010-08-15T00:56:00.000-07:00

Weelll, the other day I heard this guy preaching on identity. It was really cool, and heaps easy to understand. He was saying how everyone has an identity... whether it's an identity in drugs, smoking, all that stuff, or being the cool kid at school or even the nerdy-type one... He was saying how, no matter who we are, we have an identity -- everyone does, even if it's not a good identity. And then he said that you might have even been labeled an identity.

He went on to say that we should have our identity in him. So that when people watch us with what we do, how we act, they can see God through us.... that we stand for him, and we are there to show his glory. It's like... when people want everyone to vote for this particular party or person or something, so they go around handing out little pages of stuff about it... they're for them, and they're letting everyone know. That's kind of like their identity in that person or party.

And then he talked about how these people in the bible, like, when Jesus was saying "Come follow me" to all these random people, and telling them that he would make then fishers of men and stuff... and they just put down their nets and followed him. They had an identity in something else, but they laid that down so they could instead have an identity in God... which, of course, we know -- is the better way to go.

I don't know, I just found that really interesting. Especially how people actually CAN get labeled as something! Like rumours or something going on in school... if that's happening to you maybe..:)

But yepp, I thought I'd share that with you,,so we can have our identity in God together:)

Talkin' Bout Anything:)

2010-08-06T23:02:00.000-07:00

Heey Girlss:)

Lol, I'm kinda sick right now, which is a bit annoying:( I have like a cold.. urggg. I hate colds lol.

Anyways, how's your life been??:) Hahah:) Hmm, I was going to write a bit of my Bonnie Turnbull, writing blog thing, but I couldn't be bothered haha. In stead I thought I'd write some of my Caitlin book, in which I'm planning to finish in about eight weeks:) Shouldn't be too hard lol.

Okayy, here's an idea.... and be sure to tell me what you think:D and vote on the poll:D

Heey, any of you blogging friends who gave me awards, do you remember what awards you gave me (like the link to the post u had it on or something) cuz I wanted to put them on this blog :) thankss:)

alsso,,I was thinking... did any of you want me to have that Want 2 Know (W2K) thing back? It doesn't just have to be was it used to be before. It could be a whole range of different things. Like, questions girls have asked about anything, or you know, like heaps of stuff. My books, other people books/blogs -- a lot of stuff:) Tell me what you all think:)

Oh, and I was thinking of starting my design blog again? But this one's called FinishUp Graphics. I was going to do it with a family member of mine,,and stuff,but I dont know. tell me what you guys think about that too:)

Well, anyway,,better get back to my caitlin book or reading or something...oh by the way, I'm reading this book at the moment (it's kind of for school but it's really interesting) and it's like a true life book,I'll have to tell you about it later, cause the message it brings to teenage girls these days is pretty important, soyeah:)

Also... what are some really good fonts that you like? Post them in a comment -- I need more for my books and stuff:)

Okayy, leaving now, haha -- looking forward to hearing from u all though:D

So here's the third book haha (are you getting sick of this?? hhaaa, sorry, i just couldnt think of anything else to post on... but it shall be over soon)

A Loving Heart

Book Three

Laura, one of Emily's closest friends, tell Emily some things that break her heart.Life is getting tough for laura, but Emily doesn't know what to do about it. She wants to help -- but how?

Not only that, Emily herself is trying to deal with the fact that her other closest friend, Amy, is moving a few hours away.

It's not until Emily's forced to go to a Christian Kids Club that she learns how to help Laura just by listening to a simple story in the Bible. Does God really speak to Emily through Bible stories? Will this story comfort Laura like Emily's been wanting to but didn't know how?

♥ ♥ ♥

Join Emily Winston and her friends as they discover important things, and learn lessons in their walk with God.

So yeah, that's that lol. Once I post the fourth book, I could show you some of my others (like the teenage ones) if you want lol. But, just wanna know what you guys are thinking about this so far... do you like it, or are you getting sick of it, lol??

behind.the.scenes

2010-07-29T01:57:00.000-07:00

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:)

P.s. Don't forget to check out my writing blog, about a girl named Bonnie Turnbull:)

FeelingDown?

2010-07-23T21:21:00.000-07:00

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

2010-07-18T04:27:00.000-07:00

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:)

2010-07-16T00:46:00.000-07:00

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:)

Help Me ~ a song

2010-07-14T03:31:00.000-07:00

Hey!

Thought I'd get right into blogging again, because I really want to:) Have the lesson-type-posts I sometimes post, and all those other cool things.

Anyway, I wrote this song a while back, but I'd thought I'd share it with you. (Actually, I wrote it on the piano...but you'll probably only be able to read the lyrics right now)

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
flow through, help me
I'm fallin', grab me
flow through, help me........
oh, now help me........

CHORUS

nah, nah, nah, x3
Oh... oh..........

lol, anyway... yepp, that's how it goes;)
