Tear Drops: Church

What's there to know about me?

I love to read and write my inner thoughts

but most of the time they are kept secret

Looking for my fairy tale

but given up on many chances

Major nerd attending Lowell High

I like crazy baking sessions on weekends

I love my supportive friends who are

always watching over me and keeping me safe

God's on my side and no one can take that away

There have been many ups and downs

but there's hope

Tears are a must

and I've had my heart broken too many times

too focus on school and sometimes

too serious

but I know how to have fun

Ask me to sing you a song

or to dance

or walk up to the bus stop with me

Get to know me and you'll see

I'm learning how to trust, believe, be dedicated, and faithful

all at the same time

Roses are pretty and pictures are worth more than words

I miss those who have gone away from my life

especially those who I love

sometimes I think that life can't get any worse

But I realize that there are people

living in other countries that don't even

have half of the things that I do

and it makes me think, I really am blessed

Without God I really don't know what I'd do

I can't imagine my life without Him

I maybe leave Him behind sometimes

and ignore Him and reject Him

But He will never leave me

I’m forgiven because You were forsaken,

I’m accepted, You were condemned.

I am alive and well, Your sprit is within me,

Because You died and rose again.

Amazing love,

How can it be?

That You, my King would die for me?

Sunday, August 07, 2005

So today is Sunday and today at combined fellowship, we've just shared a lot about how we are doing in our walk with God and I had forgotten how good it feels to do that. To just realize what I need to work on and tell others so that I may have someone to help me improve and just to grow spiritually I guess.

So it was on Fruit of the Spirit. The scripture reading is from Galations 5:19-26
and we had to rate ourselves on where we are with each of the fruits.

Love - I gave myself a 9 because love is so important to me and it's just the center of my life whether it's love for my friends, family, or just myself. But at the same time I don't think I've ever loved as much as Jesus has because the things He has done for us are just so amazing that I don't think I would be able to do it although Jesus was human and so am I.

Joy - I gave myself a 7 on this because it happened to be really difficult for me to be happy during sad times, I tend to focus on this one bad thing instead of looking around where there are probably several good things going on.

Peace - I said 8 because sometimes I do feel I may not have 100% of my trust in My God because I'm so worried about other things in life.

Patience - I gave myself a 8 because I seem to have realized I have more patience with my friends then my family because for some reason I expect my family to know certain things.so yeah I guess I need to work on that with everybody.

Kindness - I gave myself a 9 because I do want other people to treat me the wya I treat them and just to look at the good of others first before they look at the bad things.

Goodness - I said 9 or 8.5 because I do find myself sidetracked sometimes off the road and take a wrong turn because of temptations but I do really want to be like Jesus.

Faithfulness - I said 8 because depending on what I have to stand up to, I may or may not be able to do it. Sometimes I am scared and I do not look up to God and believe that this is where He wants me to be and I walk away. I need to Fully Rely on Him

Humility - This was something we talked about in Daycamp on the first week and I gave myself a 7.5 but I can't explain this one.

Self-Control - I gave myself a 8, because not everything I do or what I plan to do is me, sometimes I do things that not myself...and it's wrong because it should just reflect me and who I am. Sometimes I choose to remain silent though. I guess I just need to learn when is the right time to speak up and when I shouldn't

Today was a good day and I had fun...although I still can't play tennis or dance.
