To be more than just an average me!
There is so much one can do. So much one can say. So much that one can conduct, to make someone's day. I want to go out into the streets. To reach the homeless and poor. To show them that there is a light. There is hope. And there is a gem hidden amongst the coals of life. I want to help the hurt, broken and lonely. To reach the forgotten and withdrawn, the abused and mistrusted and help them to discover and turn a new page! I do however have my own set of problems. I am not perfect. I am a cutter. I am an addict. I hurt people often. I trust to easily, and I also have trust issues - a lot of it being myself. I have a struggling relationship with God, but I am learning to trust Him, and look for Him, even when I can't see or feel Him. He will always be my light! No matter what hell I think I am going through. <3 Kara (19) (Australia) COPYRIGHT ISSUES... (Unless stated, and even then not always done, the photos and pictures are not my own...

This song was sung today at Church, and it has been on my mind ever since - even with doing my art assignment and watching 10 episodes of House, 3 episodes of NCIS and talking to my Mum, hanging with friends @ a bead party, and reading a tonne of blogs.  It’s somewhat relaxing don’t you think?

 

I Will Rise – Chris Tomlin

There’s a peace I’ve come to know
Though my heart and flesh may fail
There’s an anchor for my soul
I can say “It is well”

Jesus has overcome
And the grave is overwhelmed
The victory is won
He is risen from the dead

Chorus:
And I will rise when He calls my name
No more sorrow, no more pain
I will rise on eagles’ wings
Before my God fall on my knees
And rise
I will rise

There’s a day that’s drawing near
When this darkness breaks to light
And the shadows disappear
And my faith shall be my eyes

Jesus has overcome
And the grave is overwhelmed
The victory is won
He is risen from the dead

Chorus:
And I will rise when He calls my name
No more sorrow, no more pain
I will rise on eagles’ wings
Before my God fall on my knees
And rise
I will rise

And I hear the voice of many angels sing,
“Worthy is the Lamb”
And I hear the cry of every longing heart,
“Worthy is the Lamb”

Chorus:
And I will rise when He calls my name
No more sorrow, no more pain
I will rise on eagles’ wings
Before my God fall on my knees
And rise
I will rise

The Beast and the Jewel

He reaches forward and takes her jewel.  She’s left alone without her fuel.  She cries out loud, not knowing what’s missing.  Waiting for the empty hollow to appear as more than the worthless shilling.  She cries out loud.  Out loud she cries.  People hear but to her it’s a lie.  Louder and louder and louder she cries.  The agony, the hollowness, fills her again, as on her beckoning death bed she lies.

A hand reaches down.  A comforting hand.  Not like that of the beast who stole her joyful strand. He wraps His arms around.  Catching her tears.  Drying all of her woes, worries and fears.  He seems so caring, so loving and kind.  He offers to eliminate what the beast left behind.  Replenish and heal what the beast stole and died.  Heal her completely, and walk by her side.   


He offered.  She took.  She was timid and scared.  But it all felt so right, with her saviour, hand in hand.  The beast stole her joy.  But he did not steal her life.  It was not hers to give, or his to take, so she denied.  He tried.  He attempted.  But he had no authority.  He’d already been struck down consistently and repetitively.  Two thousand plus year’s ago was the last time he tried.  But her saviour overthrew the Beast’s tyranny one final time.

The beast has no place in today’s society.  He constantly tries with his lies, tricks and schemes.  But he knows up above, someone’s looking out.  Watching out, over all that he should not, and cannot touch with his snout.  Consistently he tries, to lure in the prey.  The homeless, the confused, the lost, weak and grey.  But within one and all is someone calling them home, with Him they are strong, the Saviour fights for all.

My curfew was the street lights! My mom called my name, not my cell. I played outside with friends, not online. If I didn’t eat what my mom cooked, then I didn’t eat. Sanitizer didn’t exist, but I COULD get my mouth washed out with soap. I rode a bike without a helmet, getting dirty was OK, and my neighbors looked out for me as much as my parents did.

I LOVED MY CHILDHOOD 

Jeez I did so many things now considerated dangorous…

Seriously, people nowadays overdo it with the whole obsession with safety….

I want to be free!

I want to be free from this pain.

Free from the confusion.

Free from this dark night of the soul.

Free from trying to find God because I’ve found Him!

Free from this life that I only know!
