inspired discoveries

You know when you listen to a song you love... but you'd almost forgotten about... but then hear it and are blown away... again?
And it's funny how a song can take you to different places and memories.

Also.... isn't it crazy how you can be going through so much on the inside... so much change and painful (but beautiful) heart surgery... yet be so inspired and excited?!

I love that it's 2:30am and I just got hungry.
It's funny that I'm awake right now. I'm tired... but even more excited. Weird.

I'm glad that I'm not bored with life anymore. I'm glad I'm not sitting at home all day doing nothing but perusing the facebook world...!
I don't have a job yet, but time is being used and not wasted.

It's funny how I can be so vulnerable and sensitive but seemingly at the same time so disconnected yet so inspired, so irritated... so peaceful... So challenged... so tired... so rested, secure yet desperate for more...so complete yet so raw...

The time has come to stand for all we believe in.

If everything I said was a lyric, what song would I be singing?

It's sad to me that some Christians do not know the reality of God.

I like meeting new people. I am always wondering about people's life stories.

What does collision theory mean? I wrote it into a song... but I'm not even sure it makes any sense.

I can't stop listening to John and aLie's myspaces.

Tomorrow is pancake day. My favourite pancakes are probably ones with nutella... i don't like lemon and sugar.

I'm meeting an old friend for coffee tomorrow. I'm excited for starbucks!

I just realised part of why I'm awake... Tonight at band practise Tina made some epic coffee...

I can't wait to get a new camera! I don't know how or when... but I just know I can't wait.

The Bible College students from church are leaving for India in a couple of hours... They'll be gone for 3 weeks... It'll be weird not having them around... but I just know that God is going to do some amazingly epic things in their hearts while they're away...

I just figured out that I am craving a ham and chip (crisps) sandwich... lol!

GOD IS SO GOOD!
Just all the time.
Even when I'm not... especially when I'm not.

These past couple of days I've been re-reading 2 Corinthians 12... It's sweet.

Especially the bit:

^7-10Because of the extravagance of those revelations, and so I wouldn't get a big head, I was given the gift of a handicap to keep me in constant touch with my limitations. Satan's angel did his best to get me down; what he in fact did was push me to my knees. No danger then of walking around high and mighty! At first I didn't think of it as a gift, and begged God to remove it. Three times I did that, and then he told me,

My grace is enough; it's all you need.
My strength comes into its own in your weakness.
Once I heard that, I was glad to let it happen. I quit focusing on the handicap and began appreciating the gift. It was a case of Christ's strength moving in on my weakness. Now I take limitations in stride, and with good cheer, these limitations that cut me down to size—abuse, accidents, opposition, bad breaks. I just let Christ take over! And so the weaker I get, the stronger I become.

(2 Corinthians 12:7-10 The Message)

I feel as though I'm always just learning and re-learning how to "let Christ take over..." certain situations... but what a Beautiful lesson to learn and discovery to find!
