Gotta be Somebody..

That's the title of Nickelback's new song. Thank you Elaine for sharing the song with me =)

As sweet and cute and romantic as the words are.. I'm taking the godly perspective xD

So I`ll be holdin’ my breath
Right up to the end
Until that moment when
I find the one that I'll spend forever with

are we holding our breath till we meet God?
Are we trying to stay strong?
Are we doing all we can?
Can you look back on your week and be proud of at least one thing?
What are you disappointed about?
Can it be fixed?

HOLD YOUR BREATH GUYS!if you know you're going to hurt the person by saying something, hold your breath, don't say it..
if you're going in a dark room with a guy, hold your breath...and leave...
if someone offers you drugs and u dont want to seem like a baby...hold your breath..say no anyway..its worth it.
If you know you're about to do something like smoke,gossip,criticise, judge etc....hold your breath and stop...

Someone to love with my life in their hands.
There`s gotta be somebody for me like that.

Who you thinking about? A guy..a girl? ye fine ure allowed to be soppy and cute....but whoever wrote this has someone missing in their life....God! Our life is in His hands...He's in control...you know what that means?
WE DONT NEED TO WORRY ABOUT ANYTHING =)
But we need to pray about everything, even if its not so important to you, it is to God....give God everything...I personally think he's very well organised=P

And finally,
You can´t give up!
When you're Lookin´ for a diamond in the rough

Whatever it is, however impossible it seems, keep going, have faith...cos that diamonds gna shine through one day...could be tomorrow or in 1o years time...dont give up :)

Now enough about my currently most played song hehe...

Basically my future is pretty blurry atm, dont know where im going at the moment, but i think its ok..cos Gods got it all planned out and I just hv to wait =) but prayers could be helpful hehe

Conference was pretty good..got a very positive outcome, and I'm sure everyone appreciated the comments and pats on the back...and honestly I really saw God helping us through it, rob and tine were great..elaine read great...and oh it was so perfect cos we were all doing it for God and no one else!

Should I shut up now? yes....hehe anyway everyone do hold your breath this week, not literally ok? I wouldnt rly like to be the cause of ppl suffocating to death =P
God bless you all xxxxxx

A family =)

hey guys

totally different post from the previous one. but before I begin I would really like to thank you all for your comments and discussions etc xD

Just got home from a Y4J meeting..I must say one of the best...does this mean I jumped and laughed because life is so perfect? *never gna happen-life is never perfect :P)

NOPE,

total opposite...I let out all last weeks emotions,the ones u push down cos people at school cant see u in that state..or because its too stupid to talk about or maybe because you're just naturally closed up...well maybe then u know what I'm talking about.
It started off with me being restless at the very beginning of this weekend,I couldn't socialise well,I wanted to be alone,loss of appetite etc...but today i couldn't take it.i convinced myself to go to y4j to praise, and overcome my UN-sociable mood...but when i got there i couldn't even worship!i had too much on my heart. but luckily for me (and for others =P) god knew what i would feel,and he couldn't bear seeing me (or you) so restless..so he sent a good friend of his...a priest xD I was the first one to go in side Fr.Cefai's room..I closed the door and sat down, and this is how it basically went;

Priest; What would you like to confess?
Me; nothing,I mean, no, you see, I think i want to talk.

embarrassing much?i could have spoken to him for forever,but people awaited his presence,so he sent me off renewed, i actually did confess in the end xD

does dis now mean i was happy cos of my perfect life?

no once again xD

I think i managed to worship too much after my "confession"...like theres such a thing of too much worship, but what i mean to say is that my mind went from me imagining Jesus letting me rest on him, to Him picking up the Eucharist in adoration and smiling!Insomma point being, its OK to not be so hyper after a y4j meeting!feeling worried?left out?your friends leave st.Michael's feeling so hekk cos God touched their hearts and you didn't FEEL* him? Good for them...but u know its OK to go home and have another cry in your own privacy, God could be touching your heart, but He might start from whats stopping you from being loved by Him. Too confusing? I'll explain further; * You not feeling anything doesn't mean He's not touching your heart*

lets take a flower OK? a flower with dead leaves on its stem and some dead petals.then take another flower which is okay,maybe a few scars here and there but on the whole okay. If I had to take care of these flowers and make them look the best they can, which would I manage to take care of without hurting it?

The one with scars...cos I just need to patch up some scars and start working on just giving it water and vitamins,while the other flower would need to be cleaned well first,maybe taking off a petal (god wants you to stop staying with that friend for good reasons) maybe he needs to take off a leaf too, (smoking?drinking?self harm?anorexia?bulimia?self pity?complaining a bit too much?..)
so that flower is gna feel the cleaning a bit more. But its okay,cause no matter how long it takes, God is treating us equally but, is just tackling us individually, because we are individuals xD think i made it more confusing aye xD

So coming to the point of the title,
after Y4J i just said that I'll be going home, and someone asked why, so I explained that i don't feel like socialising with friends and he just says: we're not friends,we're your family.

It really struck me..I mean I have a family ta, when I hurt, someone hurts with me, when I laugh someone laughs with me and the chain goes on. This is us, this is who we're meant to be....couldn't love you all more xxx

sorry if i bored you, blessings,

To wear a bikini or not to wear a bikini?

So I'm expecting disagreements and agreements with what I'm going to post in a matter of minutes xD

Everyone wears a bikini-us girls love bikinis, especially me!The whole world loves bikinis-
since when do we adapt to the rest of the world?

I think a lot of negative points could come out of this-

1) Face it-some Maltese men are a bit disgusting,one look at a girl in a bikini could drive them bonkers.You're probably saying- so what,its not like I know him..but you know what?god does...god loves that guy,so aren't we supposed to love him to?
12When you sin against your brothers in this way and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ. 13Therefore, if what I eat causes my brother to fall into sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause him to fall. 1Corinthians 8:12-13.

2) If wearing short skirts..half tops etc., are wrong because we're giving our body so easily...then what makes a piece of material covering our parts so different?what makes it ok?aren't we god's beautiful temple?...

19Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body. 1Corinthians 6:19-20

3) Going back to the origin of these points- adapting to the world...I mean since when do we adapt to the rest of the world?If we're supposed to be different in everything else, why do we "give in" when it comes to swimming?what if God prefers us covering up a bit more...if Jesus was at the beach with us,would we feel 100% comfortable to walk around in our bikini?

It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age,
When I planned this, did I do it lightly? Or do I make my plans in a worldly manner so that in the same breath I say, "Yes, yes" and "No, no"?

and my favourite:
So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer.

4) People with insecurities-does being surrounded by nicer figures on show affect the way they feel about themselves?If yes, why should we be the cause of this effect?why should we sometimes be judged by how we look in a bikini?

No quote for this..but before I make my way to my bed,just wanted to remind you, I'm not calling you bad Christians if you swim in a bikini..I mean I do myself.This is all new to me and I'm just sharing it with you guys.
And lovely guy friends,I'm not throwing botti to anyone ok? I'm so proud to have guy friends like you,and I couldn't ask for better friends,honestly...
just wondering what you're all thinking xD
I'm expecting comments =) Blessings all xxxx

If only XD

So yesterday..wednesday..everyone was celebrating our last Wednesday night out before school begins!

For me, PV is one of my weaknesses,not proud of it,but I'd rather admit it then try be cool and go and end up doing something I'll definitely regret..XD and I'm really taking God seriously..more than I ever have actually!So I really didn't want to ruin it...but Bett convinced me that it would be OK if we stuck together..and I convinced Elaine...so Bett,Elaine,Achie,Rob and I met up at the millennium chapel first,prayed then made our way to meet the others!Yes,temptations did come my way...but you know what?I really believed God would satisfy me without me drinking excessively!So I had 2 drinks in all,and we danced quite 'modestly' I would say!I was so happy and felt really good about it!

If only everyone tried it the God way....it doesn't mean we have to succeed every time,but at least we could try!

Anyway I wrote this sort of poem XD

I want to please you,
To try and keep you smiling
In everything I say and do.

I want to keep you close,
To be able to hold your hand,
Hold it tight when I need you the most.

I want to show you I can do it,
Without you I don’t stand a chance
Of getting through the night without being stupid.

I want to show you off to the world,
Let them know they could show you off too,
If only they made you their world!

So tonight may you keep smiling,
May you stay closer than I think,
Let me know you believe in me,
And let the world open their eyes and let them see.

Blessings readers xxxxxx

Let Me...

I'll come to the title soon enough.
There are 3 weeks left for school,which means in 3 weeks a 2-year course begins and ends with a-levels which determine if you're going to university or not.Stressful enough? =)

Last night us school girls reunited on ghadira bay.Not exactly the reunion I had in mind but at least I got to see some of my good friends,and I did laugh towards the end!
Coming to the title..

So,as some of you know 'Let me' is the original name to mine and bett's song, it's basically a cry out to god in pain but trusting him at the same time...a lamentation.

That song is exactly how I'm feeling at the moment,so I'll leave you with the lyrics and I really ask that you pray them,and let God do what He has to do =)

So I'll leave you with a sun burnt face,and a bloated stomach!Blessings!

Can you hear my screams and cries?
I’m calling out to you
Just hold me tight and I’ll be saved

Let me know you still care
You still love me
This time I cant get back up alone
Let me cry out to you
Let it all out, Jesus
I need your help

Can’t you see I’m fading
While pretending I’m fine
I’m not alone, you’re here with me

Let me know you still care
You still love me
This time I cant get back up alone
Let me cry out to you
Let it all out, Jesus
I need your help

Come and find me, I’m lost
Please don’t forget me..

Mr.Ant

Greetings fellow loved children of God =)

Last week,I was flipping through my metal bible,when I realised a small ant running around between the cover and the pages. I tried carrying him out,but he just wouldnt stay still!I knew that if I closed my bible,he would be squashed...so,with my bible upside down,I'm praying he would fall out,even if he hurt a bit as he landed,but atleast he wouldn't waste away..

And then...a comparison comes to mind!God so desperately wants to save us,but we so humanly stubborn our way through it,ignoring Him,and running away from Him!Then it comes to the point where it's going to hurt a bit but atleast we'll be saved!

Point of this...?
Stop running..stop being scared and for once in your life,will you trust in God?Will you just let Him pick you up and carry you through it?...

So wherever or whoever you are Mr.Ant...God loves you and wants to hold you =)

Blessings and cuddles wished from the olsen twin fanatic xxxx

Amazing song....Carrie Underwood!

A must see video!

So I have been emailing a christian guy from Georgia this past week. I found his blog,and thought his story was amazing,and he has come so far,and he really showed me that God can do anything if you just let Him take control...

Prayers and blessings sent to Andy =)
http://www.crucialencounter.com/

So I visited one of Andy's friends blogs, and I found this video,which has opened my eyes,and once again given me encouragement,that no matter how much we want to give up,and sometimes do,God never does,and keeps using people to save His people...

It won't let the video appear,so just click on the link I'll soon paste, trust me it's worth it!!
Please comment and give your opinion on the video...

Anyway

This week I have also reflected upon the fact that I have brothers and sisters in Christ,struggling all over the world,fighting to live,hungry to know Jesus...I just wish I could meet them...God has introduced me to some already,and I have learnt so much,I just can't wait to meet others!

May God honestly bless all of you,and keep the video in mind!
Blessings,Amy xxxxx
