Thank God.
honestly.
without him, I probably would've already:
-quit school (as in Cawthra)
-beat up Robert (like actually)
-quit P.T
-give up on music
-be somewhere that I didn't belong
-trrrrryyy to kill myself?
the temptation for that last one actually almost happened in grade 7. but I was too chicken about seeing blood on the kitchen WHITE floor. hm. and leak out to the piano room. God saved me then too.....
SO.
This next little paragraph is going to be dedicated to the LOVELY egotistical poo-head that I've known for a long time, and as he grew up, he became meaner and snottier and though smarter, he rubs in the face of every single person he sees.
(:P Olena knows EXACTLY who I'm talking about...) yay short story time!
hm...to start off, I don't know if I'm allowed to disclose his name since he doesn't see this. But for now, I will.^-^NOT :P okie okie...
good old poohead.
I've known him since grade 3, and I was friendly with him, though I always thought he was younger than me ^-^;;; well, TECHINICALLY he is, but it's cause he and his older sis didnt do kindergarten they were so smart>.<>.< since I bother him about bothering everything else.
yup. there is the characteristics I've seen from him all last year and this year. Summer is supposed to change people, isn't it?
I know it changed me...thank God! again. can never stop you know.
I hadn't seen Robert all summer actually, me trying to get everything organized for the summer retreat with Eugene and my bro and Christie, before going to Korea in August....when everyone came BACK lol...
But in other ways, he's still a great friend to have LOL though I think he's the only one that would ever almost actually blackmail me in the friendly kind of way...
but oh well.
I raged out my anger at him a little on Friday. and here. so NOW i am happy!
b/c im very glad that he's my friend:D
and next?
# of times crying in the last 3 days including today?
3, and ALMOST today
you know, me praying my heart out that the fugue will go okay Xo
we are going to do it all in one sitting! whopeee
thank gosh for big intellect of ARCT things that "Ginger" doesnt know about! :D
though I feel a little guilty....is that simple rhythm REALLY ARCT? really..
and so, from the experience from this week and the graciousness of this weekend. THANK GOD FOR CHURCH really. time for some new thoughts...
dear God
thank you so much for everything you've done
you have given me everything that I have
you are the reason that I can keep on living
with the help of my loved ones as well
you know?
This week was hard.
I was so confused.
I think I was rejected somewhere
I think I got isolated from the world I once knew
I think I lost a friend for a couple of moments
What else could I do?
Nothing seemed right to me.
I had yelled at my close friend.
I had made the tense air
Then I realized
I had hated whom I'd become
Everywhere I looked
I saw my sin
my shame
my guilt
my
well, everything that was wrong about me
I went outside and screamed
scaring all those around me
though
I gave them a sincere smile
and started a normal conversation
I think they were frightened of me
So I went inside
and opened up Your Word.
and it showed me
the most beautiful verse.
For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. (16)And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good.
And I almost cried.
so instead, I went on MSN
and asked my good friend
"What would you like
to hear this Sunday?"
and he replied
"King of Majesty please"
And then
a song popped into my head
If we sang King of Majesty,
why not do Majesty?
And so I looked around for the song
and found it
I knew it well
and I taught myself all the others I had chosen
and to finalize it
I went to the piano
and
began
to
play
and..
I begun
to
sing:
Here I Am
humbled by your Majesty
covered by your grace so free
Here I Am
knowing I'm a sinful man
covered by the blood of the Lamb
And now I've found
the greatest love of all
is mine
since you laid down your life
the greatest sacrifice
Majesty
Majesty
Your grace has found me just as I am
*hit*
Empty-handed
*hit*
but alive in your hands
*hit*
Majesty
*hit*
Majesty*
*hit*
Forever I am changed by your love
*hit*
in the prescence of your majesty
*hit*
Majesty.....
*K.O*
And then I cried.
I cried so hard
I couldnt even play the piano
it wasn't even part of the worship
and I tried so hard to keep the sobs back
and let the tears fall.
But it didnt work for me
And I stopped.
And I cried.
And then
somehow
Mothers
always know
exactly
exactly
word for word
what you really
needed to hear.
"God loves you.
No matter what you go through
even if you get a bad grade
even if you mess up
even if you are frustrated
even if you are angry.
God will always love you.
And I will too.
My love is as passionate as God's.
It will never waver."
For so long
I've wanted to hear those words from God
and my mom
and thank you Lord
that you've given them to me
because I feel so relieved
and even though I cry
I cry
in happiness.
