Recent happenings.

1) Saw this Indian (how do I know he was Indian? 1) I saw his face. 2) He had a picture of an Indian man on his car) drive STRAIGHT over a round about. WHAT IS THAT! seriously. Laughed for ages though.

2) Ate subway (not at my subway) and think I got food poisoning from the chicken not being hot enough.

3) Youth band played my song! OMG! It was amazing. I love them to pieces.

4) I got soaked today in the rain. Was interesting.

5) Went second hand shopping. Brought 5 items of clothing for $20! Chuuuurr

6) Decided Dan Carter/ Richard Kahui/ Sonny Bill/ Jimmy Cowan/ Cory Jane are the only reasons I watch rugby. Oh and to see the whole all blacks team whip any and everyone else.

7) Don't eat subway from south auckland (apart from the airport) seriously. You'll die.

8) Eh.

Hate?

We are meant to love everyong right, everyone. But I honestly find it hard to follow this thing of unconditional love when I read about heartless people killing innocent children. It makes me cry. It makes me angry. It makes me hate. 

THIS makes me hate.

How can someone..a mother.. take away her own child's life. I don't get it. People are so stupid. SO stupid. I want to punch her.. seriously I do, I know this sounds harsh but come on people seriously, I hate child abuse and child injustice with a passion and I want to bring it down. I want to save all these children's lives that have been brutally and heartlessly taken away. I want to show the world that hitting a child and killing them because they wet their bed or because they 'misbehaved' isn't right, and no matter what you do you will have to live with the consequences forever. 

Every child needs someone. Someone who loves, cares and hopes for them when they have nothing else to cling to. 

This is something everyone knows about but is too afraid to step out and help because of their reputation, or what might happen to them, or because they could get hurt (physically and emotionally). 

Ah. 

Awake.

How long do we stay awake, wishing on stars and thinking of the future,

we see long bumpy paths in front of our view and we close our eyes go back to sleep,

for when we sleep we are oblivious to our surroundings, making our dreams our reality,

and our reality our dreams,

but what happens when you open your eyes and what you see is better than what you dream?

you awaken to life to your passions and hopes

see a million eyes staring you on

feel a thousand warms words fall softly in your ears

and touch a hundred hearts 

cry a trillion tears

awake my child do not be afraid to dream with eyes open

don't sleep through your life

don't wish away this path

your dreams and your passions mean everything to me

stand up for what you believe

awaken your dreams to awaken others

my child awake my daughter awake

there is more in this world than the one you are living in

World ended?

Matthew 24:36 ' No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. (vs42) - 'Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. (vs44) - 'So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.

This whole shabam on the world ending got a alot of people thinking. They didn't know if to believe or not. I admit as much as I believed that the world wasn't going to end I can honestly say I woke up disappointed. Not because I didn't die, because I didn't get to go to heaven. ahhh. WHAT IS THIS!

I like the verse where it says So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.


Half the world was expecting him so he didn't come, but the other half wasn't, and he didn't come?

As much as all of this hurts my brain at this time of night I know that God isn't finished with us yet. Simple as that. And quite frankly he doesn't have to explain anything, nothing about when the world will end, why it didn't, whats going to happen next.. you know why? Because he is God. Simple. Questions answered.

Seventeen.

So..in just over a month my birthday shall arrive. It has just hit me in the face that I have been alive and breathing for nearly seventeen whole entire years. Yet I say to myself so often, when will my life start? There is no certain age to begin living, you begin when your born. You don't have to be a certain age to go out into the world and change lives. You changed more lives than you will know just by being born. That first breath that was taken was not a mistake and never will be. It had more purpose and destiny than could be imagined.

Don't wait till your an 'adult' to go out and live.. live now. Change lives by smiling, asking a simple how are you. Even laying a hand on someone would have an impact on then and they wouldn't know, God asked us to lay hands, we should do it I think, tis the least we can do right?

Enough diddle daddle. Get with it. Get up. Get moving. Let's make this life worthwhile, not just for us, but for everyone who is around us.

Living for ourselves isn't apart of this plan. God made this for ALL of us. He didn't leave anyone out. Not even the children or teenagers.

We were made to change history. We will change history by starting young. So lets do this thing?!

Who knows what will be happening in another seventeen years from now.

Note to self.

Notes made to myself today.

1) Do NOT drink a giant lift plus and a Big V all in one day and pretty much drink them each in one sitting. You will feel sick and want to throw up and get a headache and also not be able to get to sleep. Especially when you have to get up at 6 every morning. Bad idea.
2) Don't drink a whole bottle of water before getting on a bus, I can guarantee your bladder will pretty much explode. The only toilets being public toilets in not so nice places... and then having to get on another bus then walking home very fast because you might pee your pants.
3) Don't walk on grass when its just been raining.. it will be muddy and gross and your new shoes will get dirty.
4) Don't try to kill a prayer mantis when your hands are full, it will fall on you and try to eat you which will cause you to drop all the groceries and scream.
5) Don't text and walk. 99% of the time you will walk into something or someone.
6) Get some muscles. Small dogs aren't meant to be pulling you.
7) Get a tan. Being white in winter is like being a vampire in Australia.
8) Don't wear black in the sun. It will make you very very hot and also make you look whiter.
9) Want to look tan, wear white. Just don't eat a pie with tomato sauce.
10) If you draw on your hands with felt tip its extremely hard to get off.

Note to self, remember these and your life will be 'that' much easier :)

Injustice.

Injustice in this generation.

Why is injustice here? Amidst our children, living in between us? It tears families apart, breaks hearts, destroys dreams, and for an unbearable reason takes lives.

I have read too many stories on child abuse. Every time they are brought up, spoken around, their words are left hanging in the air. You can’t possibly listen without tears or your heart racing for the possibility to bring justice to this destruction.

Twin boys ignored and uncared for, broken till they died. They were babies, they had just begun their lives. No sooner had they started they were discarded and beaten till their very last breaths could draw no more air. An unsolved problem, a guilty heart pounding somewhere, in someones chest. If this someone could come and own up this injustice could have a chance of being set aside. But never forgotten.

A little girl, who hadn’t started school was disgustingly tortured by what she thought and knew as family, the very people who were suppose to protect her, love and care were the very people who threw her away. They hung her on a washing line, she was treated like dirt. She was put in a dryer, forgotten and hurt. No coward who hurts for laughs deserves life. Yet love can’t exist if we don’t love them first.
Some were sent to jail some just sent away. But they weren’t thrown about, discarded or dismayed. Let off with a warning some fines and jail time. But nothing can take away the injustice of this precious girls life.

In our own country we see children growing up learning about sex and drugs. Ways too use them to bring in a good pay. They follow by example, look up to those around them. Hearts filled with lies, pain and deceit.
Why is this generation brought up this way?

So much talent is wasted through every life taken. Every hand hit against an innocent face. A baseball bat swung, a kick in the face. Children who lived never knew what life was. As soon as they opened their own eyes to see all around, they were hit like a ball and told to shut up. Told to be quiet, to sit still and listen. Told they will never become anything. Their dreams thrown to the ground.

All around the world this injustice continues. Children are snatched up off the side of the road where they learned to kick a ball, and play with their friends smiling all with great grins. Taken away to a dark place, blinded by evil men, limbs cut, blood taken, lives broken. They are tortured to get attention, humiliated to make money. Where is justice for these children when the evil and good men are accepting bribes amongst themselves to make sure they don't get hurt?

Does a life not matter to you if its a child's?
How can you throw hate in someones face who hasn’t even learnt to speak?
How can you look love in the face and despise them so much that is leads to a murder?

Why is this injustice killing children?
It need to stop. Before too many precious lives are lost.

I feel like..

You know that feeling when everything just feels weird and your SO not content but you don't want to show it, and how you really really want something so bad but you have to actually wait for it... and it just confused everything you've said or felt or written about?!

Yup. Feel like that.

On a positive note. We are getting a dog :)
