Hard Times. July 8, 2008

Sorry I haven’t done a blog in a while..

I’m going through some real struggles & hard times at the moment.. although I have been for a lot longer.. I find it hard to put it into words sometimes.. 

I don’t really know what I’m going to say in this blog. I feel really lost.

Last night at Youth Group we had a music night, where we bring one song that means a lot to us and then everyone listens to it & then we share what it means to us. 

My song was “Everything You Want – Vertical Horizon” my.. friend Chris sent me it the other day. & well.. It’s a good song. I would say more but the song.. it kinda.. has a whole heap of emotions behind it because of recent situations.. I’d rather not go into that right now.

My friend Alayna had this song.. okay she had 2 but I like this one. “Mirror – Barlow Girl” I think I’ve heard it before.. but THIS time I really listened to the words.. these jumped up at me and I’ve not been able to get them out of my head..  

“Who are you to tell me that I’m less than what I should be, who are you, who are you.. I don’t need to listen  to the list of things I should do I wont try, I wont try.”

Now if that isn’t the truth.. then I’m not sure what is. The song is about self image, and how we look to things like magazines and other peoples opinions on how we look. In this song.. Its like standing up and becoming ourselves & not looking to others on how we look. But looking to God who tells us we are beautiful beyond compare & the Lord who defines me.

I love it!

I don’t know what more to say really..
