Sunrises

Hi, hello. A sunset is always filled with inspiration and beauty. Its a marvelous site but however they can be somewhat of a disappointment. It means the end of an incredible day. The end of an adventure. A sunrise, now that is just as beautiful but along with it comes hope. The hope that this day will be better than yesterday. The hope that something miraculous will come in the day. The promise that there is another chance. The promise that its a new day. The anticipation of a new adventure. The indication that another journey has just begun. There is something about a sunrise that just can't be described. A sunrise is filled with new hope, inspiration, anticipation and adventure.

Lying

Hi, hello. This is a question that always constantly plagues my mind. We read in the bible that lying is wrong and it is taught to us from the time we can speak. Its wrong and the truth always will set a person free. Here is one thing that sometimes troubles me. What if lying will save someones life? I am not talking about the death penalty or anything because in that case if a person tells the truth they are more likely to not get the death penalty. I mean what if there is a person looking for someone because they want to kill them and they show up at your door looking for the person. What should you do in that situation? They have a gun and are going to kill them if they find them. Is it wrong to lie then to protect that person?

Restlessness

Hi, hello. Every person on this planet was created for a specific purpose. Each person has a job that they were placed here to accomplish. God designs us for it and equips us with gifts for our calling. We have everything we need to complete the mission. When we begin feeling restless about the point we are in life its from God. That is a sign that something needs to change. We need to be somewhere else. If we chose not to accomplish our task God will just send someone else and you miss your chance.

Wow...

Hi, hello. So I don't think that those are all from me but anyway I noticed today that I have close to 30 more views than the last time I checked. That excites me. Maybe my blog is actually interesting so I think that maybe after exam season is all finished I may start blogging on a regular basis rather than binge blogging. That was a lot of blogging used in one sentence. Well I must go to bed cause I am incredibly sleepy so goodnight.

Its been modified

Hi, hello. Welcome to the new look of my blog. I am pleased with its look finally. I don't think that is looks so bland anymore, more interesting. I hope that you all enjoy the new design as well.

Pop Music

Hi, hello. There is one thing that is constantly present in this day and age, pop music. Its played on every other radio station and about three quarters of the songs sound the exact same. They all talk about drugs, alcohol and getting layed. As blunt as that is its the truth. The majority of them don't talk about giving respect to the person of the opposite gender and each person who sings these songs tend to use auto tuners. It shows you what kind of talent they really have. Thats why I personally prefer music from the acoustic selection or folk. Those musicians actually have talent. The words they sing are deep and meaningful. Its creative and it actually is them singing the song with their own voice not through an auto tuner. I really love Owl City though. I believe that he uses an auto tuner for the sound but his lyrics are original and creative. He has his own sound that is different from the rest. He is We has got to be one of my absolute most favorite bands though. Their songs are mostly acoustic and they make me happy. Their songs are so cute.

Searching

Hi, hello. Lately I have really felt as though I am searching for something. Not as if I lost something and am trying to find it. Something deep. I blog in sperts because some days I get filled with so many thoughts and ponderings that it eventually builds so that I need to get it out or I can't concentrate. Maybe its a gift I don't really know but whenever I get inspirational messages I have to write them, somewhere at least. So here is something that bothered me all to leading up to Christmas. I never actually felt as though Christmas was in the air. It was just like any other time of year. I never had an ambition to put up decorations or to even buy gifts for anyone. I myself didn't even want anything for Christmas. Then when people say that they are waiting for a Christmas miracle. What are they talking about? Why do miracles only have to happen once a year? Can't God perform a miracle at any other time? If Christmas is about the birth of Jesus then why do we not celebrate it that way? This year I just went through the motions. I didn't know what I was looking for. Nothing seemed exactly right. I don't believe that Jesus was even born in December. I think it was either early fall or early spring. It just doesn't make sense. All people are doing is getting money from something that was supposed to be a memory of something amazing. The greatest moment in history. Now what is it? They advertise it on TV. Is that what its about? I feel like Cindy Lou Who. Looking for the deeper meaning. I know it is a time to celebrate God's gift to us but by scheming a way to grab money? I don't know what I am looking for.

Have you ever felt as though time has stopped?

Hi, hello. I may be stealing this line from a friend of mine but I think she will forgive me especially since it is the truth. I am not one of those girls that stands out on the street. I am the type that blends into a crowd and if I were to walk past a male on the street he probably wouldn't be interested enough to stop, turn around, and look at the person he just saw. Sometimes it feels as though time has stopped. Its like one of those scenes from a movie where the person stops in the middle of the sidewalk and all the people walking by are a blurr but they are the focus. Like I am frozen in place. None of them notice, they just keep moving as though I don't exist, engulfed within their own world. Sometimes you wonder if everyone is just an empty shell; going through the motions on autopilot but they don't know what they are doing. Time is frozen for that moment, and then you look into one persons eyes and you realize it isn't empty but vibrant. There is someone inside there waiting to come out, waiting to fulfill their purpose.

Throughout life...

Hi, hello. Throughout life we constantly are coming in contact with people and those who never encounter a single person throughout the day are either incredibly blind or else isolate themselves from the rest of the world. The truth is we need each other. We need someone to tell us to get our butts off the couch and live. Someone to laugh with. Someone to live. A companion. A soul mate. A friend. Even those annoying people out there on the planet were created by God and we need them too. I like to think that if we weren't all here the Earth wouldn't stay a float.

Its so cruel when people lead others on and then just drop them!

Hi, hello. So I have this friend who has a boyfriend that is head over heels for her and my guess is that as soon as she graduates he will propose. He is one of the sweetest guys that I have ever met and I find really disappointing to think that she maybe doesn't return those feelings. He is going to get his heart crushed yet and it is too bad. It bothers me when people lead others on especially if they already are seeing someone. Just stop doing it.

Hope

Hi, hello. Life is filled with mystery, twists and turns. Life is a roller coaster it has its ups and downs. If there was no roller coaster I think that wouldn't be a good thing. When a heart beat flat lines it means the person has died so I think that if someone's life is flat lining then it means that they don't feel the sorrows of life or the joys either and I believe that we need to experience both of those to truly live. I have sort of gotten side tracked. The point I am trying to make is that even in the darkest hour of our lives and the saddest or scariest we always have hope. Did you know that there is a small section of the brain that is designed specifically for hope? God placed it there. Then we can hope that tomorrow will be better than today, hope that our loved ones who perished knew that it was their time to go and have no regrets, the hope that one day we can see our dear loved ones again in a better place. Whenever life gets you down, reach up and grasp the hand of the almighty. He is always there to pull you back up to the surface no matter what.

Why would God bother to place us here? Didn't he see it coming?

Hi, hello. I have been wondering lately if God knew what he was doing when he chose to place us humans on a floating speck in a black void and give us authority over it. God knows everything that we are going to do in our lives, every sin we commit, everything that he will be pleased with. He knows those who will follow him and all of those who won't. If he knew that Eve would eat the fruit then why would he even have bothered to create humans? Why didn't he just foreshadow what we would do and say "Oh, wait, maybe I shouldn't give them authority over their own place." Things just don't make sense to me. I fully believe God is our ultimate creator and that he loves us dearly but I don't understand why we were created this way. Wouldn't it have saved him the heartache if we weren't here? Life is so puzzling. I am exactly like my grandfather. I question everything. I feel as though my soul is searching for something. Something deeper.

Have you ever wondered if there is a point to this?

Hi, hello. Lately I have been wondering, whats the point of life? Not the meaning but the point. Every day I wake up in the morning get ready for school, go to school, come home from school, do school work, try and have a life. Whats the point of all of that? There must be something more than this sheltered north american life. While I sit in school all day there are people out in the world who are dying and some maybe never had a chance to experience the truth. Why am I sitting in a warm class sheltered from war and famine while they are out there with no one but each other and dying without hearing about the reason for living. I feel as though I am searching for something. Something more than a sheltered american lifestyle. Is there any point to us living here? I don't doubt God in fact I have a fairly solid faith. I think that because I am so confident in my faith that is why all of these questions have been coming into my head. All those thoughts about a greater purpose. I think that God has opened my eyes to see that there is more to life then the way I am living it. Better things out there than safety.

Have you ever wondered what is going to happen to people in your class after high school?

Hi, hello. So lately I have been wondering about what my ten year reunion is going to look like. I know that I haven't graduated yet but its only a few months away. I mean you see the "popular" crowd parading down the halls pretending they own the place. Everyone wants to be with them and go to parties just to be classified as them. Personally I don't want that. Those are the types of girls that lost their virginity back in grade 9 and are easy for males to get their slimy hands on. They aren't hard to deal with and the male can reach out and grab their heart and stomp on it. After he leaves they just go on to the next guy that will pretend to love them. I have heard several of them going on about being in a high career and whatever but meanwhile the partying every weekend makes its dent in the grades. The chances of achieving highly at university are slipping away and they party all the time. Eventually they end up coming back to the small town and work a dead end job. Maybe that is very stereotypical of me to say but I am sure that we all have those in our high school. To all those people who want to be one of them, dream bigger than that. High school is four years and the rest of your life is ahead of you. In ten years no one is going to care what you were in high school and in your career or in university they really don't care. Be your self. I can't wait to see where everyone ended up in ten years.

Sometimes don't you just want to crawl into a dark hole?

Hi, hello. Sometimes I just want to crawl into a deep dark hole; or maybe actually a light hole that is isolated from the rest of the world and wait until God makes everything right again. I seriously am hating my life right now. Don't worry I am not suicidal or anything but between school, exams, and extra homework on top of that I am so stressed I just want to cry all the time. Between that and some family problems going on its horrendous. Needless to say I am almost crying as I publish this post and the only reason why I haven't let the tears fall is because everyone will wonder after why my eyes are red and ask if there is anything they can do to help. Sometimes those people who only are your friends when there is a situation going on are very annoying. Let's face it, we all know the truth.

Prime Minister

Hi, hello. I recently sent a letter I had written into the prime minister of Canada discussing abortion. I told him my thoughts on the issue. Several of the examples I used were very good I thought and I had a friend read it who thought is sounded very professional and she hadn't thought of a lot of what I said. I would post it on here but unfortunately I don't know how to attach it. I received a letter in response back. It wasn't directly from him but he had requested this particular assistant to send me a letter in response. They thanked me for expressing my concerns and stated that the prime minister is always interested in the opinion of young Canadians. He also stated that my comments have been carefully noted. I was incredibly excited to get this letter. It is starting to make me think. Maybe I don't have to wait for graduation to reach my destiny. Maybe I have been watching it out the window all along but just kept walking by.
