Missed Opportunities/God's Plan

Hello For Starters,

I will now engage the subject of missed opportunities. I feel like we have alot of these. Those things that almost or could've happened but didn't because you chose a different path somewhere before, or you just didn't take a chance. I also feel sad when I've known someone my whole life but never really developed a friendship with them like I would like (That's you, Jesse Woon). I, like most people, have some regret about things I've done, and choices I've made. I often wish I could redo a day or a sentence or something and make it better. I often wish I could take something back, or try something new. But then I am reminded (usually by something amazing) that what has happened to me was exactly on purpose. I've learned to find it encouraging when something doesn't work out, cause that just means that it wasn't supposed to; that God's looking out for me, and has a different idea of where I should be. I am so glad to know that the plan maker of my life is someone so much smarter and wiser than I am. My God saw my life before I was born, and sees ahead of me when I cannot. I missed my thanksgiving post so I this is what I'm thankful for. That God has blessed me so richly with happiness, family, friends, and a plan for my life to do exactly for him what he wants me to. So, in closing, I would urge you to find strength when life is kicking you, and find that God has so much in store for you, and that whatever happens to you is for your own good according to His plan for your life. Amen

I just got my phone set to use mobile posting. this is a test.

On a day like today

Does anybody see the sunshine on a day like today? Does anybody just pass time watching it pass away? Does anybody wonder what happened to the rain and the thunder on a day like today? No, we just stay inside, never opening our eyes wide and just waste away. I want to take hold of this time I have, before I have to give it back and it’s all gone for good, while I’m still young enough to look forward to days when I’ll look  back remembering my childhood. Why can’t we fall in the summer time, relax in the spring, spring up in the wintertime and just do anything? I want to dance to no music, sing without a tune, find out life has a meaning, and howl at the moon, because my life is short enough on its own and I don’t want to finish soon.

On a day like today, when everything is moving slow, there’s nothing I should know, there’s nowhere I should go.  Just sit back and watch the world move at its own fine pace, let the fickle winter breeze bring shivers to my face.

Music

I realized I haven't posted in a while (ish). So I decided to post about music.
Music is the passion that fuels my life (Speaking of things outside of God of course). It is the one thing I can cling to when everything is wrong or changing (once again, outside of God). I am always finding new music I love (Thank you XM Radio). Music is my way of praising God, expressing emotion, and just plain getting by. I've realized lately that just about everything I've ever done involves music. everything. It really does make the world go round. When I'm doing dishes: John Mayer or Keane. When I'm riding in the car: Switchfoot, Kings of Leon, or Keane. When I'm sleepy or feeling very dreamy I have Norah Jones, Ray Lamontagne, and Keane. And then there's that anytime at all music: Gavin Degraw, John Mayer, NEEDTOBREATHE, and dare I say again, Keane (Have I mentioned I love me some Keane? well I do). If you ever need some new music to listen to, ask me, cause I have alot of variety in my playlist. Like Keane.
in closing, :B (Buck teeth)

Sometimes

Sometimes music has no dancers. Sometimes questions have no answers. Sometimes it’s the future that brings us our fear. Sometimes we hear things we don’t want to hear. As love takes, patience, faith and trust, we must hope for the happiness of those around us. Nothing comes easily, nothing comes free. No one can explain my life to me. Sometimes I wonder what God is thinking.

So...Now what?

Right now I am taking a what's to come check. Do I know what's to come? No. Check. I am for once in my life going with the flow. Whatever flow that may be, I'm right in the current, and I'm enjoying going where it takes me. Do what you will with me, God, cause I'm done with always having a plan.

In God's time

I am a leaf on the mightiest tree, I leave with the breeze and come back to thee. He follows me. I'm a wave in the ocean, I'm the fruit on the vine, wherever I'm going, I know he is mine. He never leaves me. I falter and drift, I break down and fall, I try to do nothing, and instead do it all. He still loves me.  I am a wanderer, selfish and lost, I beg for what I want without seeking a cost. I can't see the future, I can't stop my sin, I can no longer fight but somehow I still win. He is my shield. I take without asking, I run without passing, I try to succeed where I'm hopelessly lacking. I am rebel for I make my own plan; God knows what's coming, why can't I understand? For it was he who designed me and made me from dust, where is my faithfulness, where is my trust? I worry and whine through ever hard line, why don't I see that I'm right In God's Time.

Lean

Lord I am broken. I am shattered and tired. I have finally spoken, the canon has fired. I want to be focused, I want to be fed, but I only feel confusion, I only feel dead. The world is so dark, I want to see light, i feel so weak, but I still want to fight. So untill you reveal whatever you've seen, on you I will solely and completely lean.

Renew my spirit. Renew my heart.
I want to love you more than anything.

Shmallows

I love fall. Cool wind, falling leaves, campfire and long sleeves. It's the most wonderful time of year. I mostly wish the weather in Fall lasted longer. It's blazing hot in summer, perfect for like 2 weeks, then it's freezing. I love campfires too. Mostly cause I love roasting marshamallows. I want to invent a super smores maker. maybe I already did??

I look forward to fall every year. I'm always so happy this time of year. Peace out Fall Lovers. And all you spring fevers with your no asthma, allergy free lungs. Jealous.

Old School

Sometimes I just like to re-visit my past a bit. Pull out the Super Nintendo and beat Aladdin in like 5 minutes. Flip on Nick Jr. and say " A CLUE! A CLUE!" watching blues clues. Put on Ice Princess and quote every word. (ARE YOU HAPPY ABOUT MY FEET??) And whoever decided that once you're 13 you shouldn't think firetrucks and racecars are cool. I'm all about them hot wheels.

Past Today

I am looking forward. I am looking forward to my life to come. I am blessed with a life I can look forward to. I am looking forward to music. I am looking forward to opportunities. I am looking forward to school. I am looking forward to growing up. I am so blessed. I have a family who loves me, friends who always try, a roof over my head, and a shirt on my back. I am looking forward to putting a roof over someone else's head, and to put a shirt on their backs. I want to do great things for this world and for my God. I want to bring people love they've never imagined. Love of a creator. I am looking forward to moving forward and moving ahead. I hope for good, and I hope for bad. I hope I get where I'm going.
