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 To reach the forgotten and withdrawn, the abused and mistrusted and help them to discover and turn a new page!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...

I like this photo.  I was taking photos of everyone else, from the rafters, during Byron Bay, and one of my friends caught this photo of me.  I surprisingly have nothing negative to say about it.  Thankyou God!

I WILL and I WON’T

This is something I posted on facebook a few months ago, and I didn’t really stick to it, but I’m hoping to, once Uni starts again for Semester 1, to do one of these per week AND MASTER IT!

Write 20 things that you WILL start doing. And 20 things that you WILL NOT! Simple stuff. This is supposed to be a way of organising and acheiving goals for yourself, to make you a better person. Then attach all the people that will help/will not help you achieve them.

KARA WILL:
1. I Will - - grow closer to God.
2. I Will - - stick to my time schedule.
3. I Will - - be positive and content.
4. I Will - - love others, even if they have hurt me or I get hurt through the experience.
5. I Will - - look for the good aspects of people, including myself.
6. I Will - - look to Jesus, going to Him with my problems, not my friends, first.
7. I Will - - commit to Christ EVERYDAY!
8. I Will - - help others
9. I Will - - be less of the conversation
10. I Will - - accept failure, hurt and pain…
11. I Will - - listen to God. Fullheartedly and obey.
12. I Will - - pray regularly
13. I Will - - obey my authorities
14. I Will - - be humble.
15. I Will - - aim for the best mark in my classes, that i CAN achieve. NO PERFECTIONISM!!!
16. I Will - - make time for others.
17. I Will - - stand up for those who can not stand up for themselves
18. I Will - - be a candle and carry the light.
19. I Will - -  overcome my fears - evangelism in particular…
20. I Will - - share the Word!

KARA WILL NOT
1. I Will Not - - swear
2. I Will Not - - abuse myself or others, by words, negativity etc. - hopefully eventually physically as well, but at the moments words and negativity seem to be the main ones.
3. I Will Not - - put myself down.
4. I Will Not - - look to others to define me.
5. I Will Not - - negatively criticise.
6. I Will Not - - be negative.
7. I Will Not - - give up as easily.
8. I Will Not - - let satan win or even have the chance to get a foothold in my life!
9. I Will Not - - be an open book.
10. I Will Not - - let my grades / awards define me.
11. I Will Not - - compare myself.
12. I Will Not - - be so hard on myself.
13. I Will Not - - be so obsessive.
14. I Will Not - - put myself first.
15. I Will Not - - consume unnecessary amounts of alcohol.
16. I Will Not - - let go of God’s love… as much as possible.
17. I Will Not - - be too shy to say hi/talk to ppl.
18. I Will Not - - stand for injustice
19. I Will Not - - forget who I am and what has made me me.
20. I Will Not - - be as insecure as much as I am now.

Smile Friday - USQ Artworx Races 2009 Edition (First races I’ve ever attended)

LONELY - A few more random struggling mental thoughts from earlier this year… still some now too… but fighting!

Lonely
No matter what you do
How many people are around you
Where you are
Who you’re with
No one else’s fault
They talk
They interact
At times
But even when they do
Deep down you’re lonely
It’s not them
It’s you
You let few in
When they’re in it’s great
But then it hurts when they’re gone
Block them out
Let them hang
But never let them fully in
People you want
You know you shouldn’t
You’re too close
You don’t want them in
Not in the long run
Short run is good
Long run hurts
Long run causes pain
So solidify while can
Barricade and guard
Hold the fort down
And be the king of the castle
After the bloodshed’s done

BUT GOD STILL LOVES ME ANYWAY!

I am the daughter of a convict.

The daughter of someone who had an addiction.

The daughter of a nurse.

The daughter of someone with high silent expectations.

The youngest in the close and extended family.

But the only one in my generation (close family).

I am the person who you see screws up her life,

by the choices she makes.

The person everyone expects to do well,

but instead fails miserably.

I am the person with a problem.

The person with many sins.

Some of them are common.

Some of them indecently rare.

I am the person who at times sees no future.

No hope. No life. No dreams.

The person who can make everyone miserable,

and abandon with glee.

But even though I am a sinner, an adulterer, a liar,

theft, addict, mood-blunderer, swearer, failure,

and a loser…

GOD STILL LOVES ME ANYWAY!

I think I might being hitting that rare feeling… bored?
