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 To reach the forgotten and withdrawn, the abused and mistrusted and help them to discover and turn a new page!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

I want to just draw.  To do no more uni work.  To relax.  To read. To anticipate, expect, chase, and follow God. 

I want to have free time to just look at tumblr, without a care about what I should be doing.

I want to look up into the night sky, and see all the stars.  Wonder what everyone else is doing out there.  Talk to friends I’ve made on here (hello recent followers) and catch up with past ones, all around the World.

I want to learn the guitar.  Try the clarinet - or even better, the saxophone <— just gotta find one of those :P.  Make a video of all of Student Life footage of this year - aka Joseph’s “Kieran am I your Mum?” :) .  Go to the beach.  Swim. Laugh. Cry.

I want to scrap book.  I want to flip.  I want to run circles until I’m dizzy in the head. 

I want to fly.  I want to drive.  I want to just find a time to cry.

But wait.  I can’t. I’m a uni student (at least for 1 more week, for this Semester).  But I do just want to sit down and draw - upload some stuff up on here, that I’ve done recently… it doesn’t feel right putting up all the old stuff - even though the last one was 3 months ago.  Anyway I should start an assignment.  I want to… but I can’t.

Good splurging :)

I spent around $130 today at Koorong.  But only had to pay $100 due to a 20% discount… gotta love discounts!

  Added to my superchick collection - so I now got a total of 3 CDs (Karaoke superstar, Beauty from Pain, Rock What You Got),  I want to get the WHOLE collections - it’s my goal :).

In short I bought today,

  • Superchick - Karaoke Superstars CD
  • Wow Hits 2010 CD
  • Wow Hits 2009 CD
  • Wow Worship CD
  • Wow Hits 1 CD
  • Bible Cover Case - surprisingly the right size too… it also has a pocket which fits the notebook I’ve got at the moment 100% perfect!
  • Thr3e (DVD - book is great, so now watching the DVD, hopefully just a favourable as the first TEd Dekker book I ever read!!!)
  • End of the Spear - my favourite Christian movie I’ve ever watched. I notice new things every time I watch it, and get impacted in a different way each time.  It’s one movie which has made me really want to go to South America, and help out there… I had a lot of things pointing to going there in 2007 - but things fell through… So I wasn’t sure if it was a God thing or not.

But that was my splurging for today.  Not bad being I don’t think I’ve spent over $200 in total at Koorong in the past 4 years. :).

EASTERFEST/AGMF

MUSIC HELP!!!

I’m looking for some artists, any at all - Christian and non-Christian that people are into.

I love the superchic[k] groove stuff, am also into Elvis Presley, Switchfoot, etc., but am really up for anything. Anything great for anger and violence, to calm and relaxing… If you have an artist (whether it’s mentioned above or not) please feel free to leave a response in the box below.  with your favourite song, of the mentioned artist as well.

That’d be heaps cool!

Music Help?

ANOTHER POP-IN-HEAD SONG… haven’t heard this one since like 1997-1999.

You said, Ask and you will receive
Whatever you need
You said, Pray and I’ll hear from heaven
And I’ll heal your land

You said Your glory will fill the earth
Like water the sea
You said, Lift up your eyes
The harvest is here, the kingdom is near

You said, Ask and I’ll give the nations to you
O Lord, that’s the cry of my heart
Distant shores and the islands will see
Your light, as it rises on us

O Lord, I ask for the nations (repeat)

We all stumble. We all fall.  No Christian is perfect. No person is not a sinner.  We all make mistakes.  We don’t need to be criticised.  We don’t need to be judged.  We don’t need to be burdened or hurtened or harmed.  Encourage. Befriend. Give gifts of love.  God loves us, even though we are sinners.  Shouldn’t we do the same too? Remember that. 

Pop-in-head song.  :)

Song I mentally woke up to singing in my head :) Fell back asleep, but it stayed there in my head, just going over the words “You are God, You are God.”

YOU ARE GOD - CHARLIE HALL

And You’re closer than our troubles
More present than any danger
More grand than gold and silver
You are God, You are God

And You’re the joy of man’s desire
And You are Father, Satisfier
And we are stunned with wide eyed wonder
You are God, You are God

You fill our hearts with love and faith
You fight for us, You make us brave
You are God, You are God

You walk with us, You lead us on
Faith, hope and love wakes up with dawn
You are God, You are God

And life flows from God, it flows from God
Sing this truth
And life flows from God, it flows from God
And life flows from God, it flows from God
And life flows from God, it flows from God

You fill our hearts
You fill our hearts with love and faith
You fight for us, You make us brave
You are God, You are God

You walk with us, You lead us on
Faith, hope and love wakes up with dawn
You are God, You are God

This girl is amazing. Just discovered her, and am captivated by her songs. Sure pure, so simple, so beautiful. If I could play guitar and sing better, and be more confident in my song writing… this would be what I’d sound like. yup. She’s gorgeous.

 WOW! Captivating is right!  She has talent… do we know her name? Someone to look out for in the future?

Light The Fire

I sang this on the second mission trip I went on.  I haven’t heard of it since, and I hadn’t thought of it, until I was scrapbooking some pages of the trip.  Where on a scrap piece of paper I had written the words “Light the Fire”.

If you asked me if I knew the song “Light the Fire” I would have probably said no.  But looking at this piece of paper and seeing the words in front of me, the chorus just flooded back into my memory.

This song just made me raw.  It made me open and willing to receive God, each night that we sang it.

As it was my second bootcamp at Teen Missions International, things were a bit different from the first year.  I didn’t have the overwhelming presence of God that I was expecting to encounter, like I did on my first trip and this frustrated me immensely.  I was demanding to God.  Asking Him why, if He told me to go on this second trip, why I felt so isolated from Him.  All I wanted to do was His work and I couldn’t understand why I couldn’t feel Him or feel His happiness, as I had done the previous year.

Nothing spiritually overwhelming did happen, but it was a refresher of my spiritual walk with God.  A match to a dimly lit flame.

LIGHT THE FIRE (BY SONICFLOOD)

I stand to praise You
But I fall on my knees
My spirit is willing
But my flesh is so weak

Light the fire
(light the fire)
In my soul
(in my weary soul)
Fan the flame
(fan the flame)
Make me whole
(make my spirit whole)
Lord, You know
(Lord, You know)
Just where I’ve been
(where I’ve been)
So light the fire
in my heart again

I feel Your arms around me
As the power of
Your healing begins
Your spirit moves through me
Like a mighty rushing wind

Light the fire
(light the fire)
In my soul
(in my weary soul)
Fan the flame
(fan the flame)
Make me whole
(make my spirit whole)
Lord, You know
(Lord, You know)
Just where I’ve been
(where I’ve been)
So light the fire
in my heart again

Light the fire
(light the fire)
In my soul
(in my weary soul)
Fan the flame
(fan the flame)
Make me whole
(make my spirit whole)
Lord, You know
(Lord, You know)
Just where I’ve been
(where I’ve been)
So light the fire
in my heart again

light the fire in my heart again
light the fire in my heart again

I’ll Stand By You ~ Carrie Underwood.

I love this song. I’m going to learn how to play it on my guitar:)

 Film is great. It reminds me of another one I’ve seen.  Making me want to do something that I’ve been thinking about for this past week, but it means another drastic change…

Curtis James Chapman ~ Cindarella

She spins and she sways
To whatever song plays
Without a care in the world
And I’m sitting here wearing
The weight of the world on my shoulders

It’s been a long day
And there’s still work to do
She’s pulling at me
Saying “Dad, I need you

There’s a ball at the castle
And I’ve been invited
And I need to practice my dancing
Oh, please, Daddy, please?”

So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
‘Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh, I will dance with Cinderella
I don’t want to miss even one song
‘Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she’ll be gone…

She says he’s a nice guy and I’d be impressed
She wants to know if I approve of the dress
She says, “Dad, the prom is just one week away
And I need to practice my dancing
Oh, please, Daddy, please?”

So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
‘Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh, I will dance with Cinderella
I don’t want to miss even one song
‘Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she’ll be gone

She will be gone

Well, she came home today with a ring on her hand
Just glowing and telling us all they had planned
She says, “Dad, the wedding’s still six months away
But I need to practice my dancing
Oh, please, Daddy, please?”

So I will dance with Cinderella
While she is here in my arms
‘Cause I know something the prince never knew
Oh, I will dance with Cinderella
I don’t want to miss even one song
‘Cause all too soon the clock will strike midnight
And she’ll be gone

New Google Technology?

I wish you could type or hum in “da DA da dada DA da… You are God. You are God. da DA da dada DAda. You are God. You are God.” and it would find the exact song that you’re wanting. Can you imagine the possibilities?

A video made by one of my friends.  Fully her - music, photos, video…
