hope

i think tash mcgill wrote this..

everything good done in the world, is done by hope. what we have in our hand, that's our responsibility. to use whatever we have, to do whatever we can. if it's hope, thats a lot.



hope is a light that starts in the darkness. starts with doing the right thing, just doing the best we can, feed the hungry, love the broken, bring hope to the people. get hopefull. make change.



i refuse to believe that the time of heroes is over. i refuse to believe that the cynics have won. i refuse to believe that the world can't be changed. i refuse to believe that my belief can't change something.



i choose to believe that we can change something. i choose to believe that we will not be silent. i choose to believe that heroes still walk amongst us. i choose to believe that hope's story is not over yet.



as surely as the sun rises in he east, as surely as light comes with the dawn, i believe in a love that comes from the deepest place. i believe in a love that sacrifices everything for the sake of the lost, i believe in a love that considers itself last, for the sake of the least. i believe in a love that wins against everything else.



i believe that loves gives birth to hope, that hope is like a great light in the wilderness, that the darkness can never extinguish it, can never blow it out, can never conquer it. i believe that hope can fill the empty to overflowing and the hopefull make change.

you probably wont even read this, but if you do, just know i like you for you, not your band or anything else. and if you do, can you just let me know? k thanks. because i cant go some places or listen to some songs without thinking about you.

thoughts

i love nights where i dont have to be anywhere or with anybody and i can just sit. reflect. get lost in my thoughts.
(except of course when my night is interrupted with driving lessons, but they're well worth it when my dad says something like "you have to treat evry person on the road like they're an idiot, cause most are" ahahah)

i've just been searching around deviantart for pretty pictures, i love photography, it would be so wicked if i had sweet skills, but just the looking is so inspiring.

and today i picked up a book about sydney from the travel agents, 18 weeks to go.. im so excited! 7 days with some of my closest friends, shopping, cultures(we're staying so close to china town YAY!)the beach, krispy kremes, catching up with old friends and the main event hillsong conference... actually can not wait! i kinda feel like i shouldn't be spending so much time looking forward to it coz then half of the year will be gone already, woah. plus theres heaps of sweet stuff before it, like, youth camp next weekend, my birthday! easter camp in mystery creek (best camp in the world btw). probably something i need to really learn is loving the minute that i'm in, instead of just looking to the next thing, preparing myself for the next event, but just need to stop and be. be still and know...



i am coming for you china town...



post secret is wonderful.

The hand of the Lord was upon me, and he brought me out by the spirit of the Lord and set me in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones. He led me back and forth among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry. He asked me, "Son of man, can these bones live?" I said, "O Sovereign Lord, you alone know". Then he said to me, "prophesy to these bones and say to them 'dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! This is what the Sovereign Lords says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life. I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.' "
So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bone to bone. I looked and tendons and flesh appeared on them and skin covered them, but there was no breath in them. Then he said to me, 'Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to it, 'this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Come from the four winds, O breath and breathe into these slain, that they may live. ' " So I prophesied as he commanded me, and breath entered them; they came to life and stood up on their feet- a vast army. Then he said to me: "Son of man these bones are the whole house of Israel. They say 'Our bones are dried up and our hope is gone; we are cut off.' Therefore prophesy and say to them: 'This is what the Sovereign Lord says: O my people, I am going to open up your graves and bring you back up from them; I will bring you back to the land of Israel.

woah, I need the breath of God into my life.
Today was actually such a terrible day and I feel dried up, I'm trying to give more of myself out to help as many people as possible, but it never stops. Somebody will always end up dissapointed, if that person is you, I'm so sorry. Because I know what its like, I hate being let down, most of all I hate being let down consistently though... I will always try and help, I'm always thinking of you, because I love you. Please know that. Also, I have hope, I have hope in my Jesus, the shadow proves the sunshine and all of that.
