Time slips away

Yesterday someone asked what it was like to be thirteen.

I began to think back.

I thought back to one of the hardest years of my life.

2008.

In this year I went the highest, and fell the lowest.

In this year I was baptized and felt fantastic.

I made my first friend, after three years.

I started going to a Bible study.

Also:

I was very depressed, and hated everything about myself.

I tried to kill myself on many occasions. Once almost succeeding.

Only by the amazing timing of God am i alive.

This got me thinking.

It feels like only yesterday I was turning thirteen.

But I have changed a whole lot!

I don't quite know what I am going on about.

(I should really think it through before I start typing)

I guess I am trying to say, make the most of your time.

You choose if you use it for good, or for bad.

If you choose to waste it, you can't get it back.

So as time goes by:

Use it to the FULL extend to what God has GIVEN it to you for.

"The clock is running. Make the most of today. Time waits for no man. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present."

Only Today

Whatever I may want to do
It must be done today.
There is no other time.

Yesterdays are but todays
Used and gone beyond my grasp.
Not one can ever be brought back;

Even as a bell can't be unrung
Or a spoken, unintended word
Be readily retrieved before
It reaches someone's ear.

Tomorrows are todays awaiting birth.
Each comes unbidden in the night
To arrive full-fledged for me to use
And do whatever I may want to do.

I have no Idea what I'm on about, maybe you will

Today I learnt an important lesson:

Actions have consequences....

Last night I decided I wanted a fringe, instead of long hair at the front of my head... So I cut my hair!
Now I have an uneven fringe, that is hideous... I regret doing it, but that doesn't fix it.

I didn't have self control last night, and now I am having to face the consequences. It sucks, but honestly, its life.
Sometimes in this sheltered world we live in we think that we don't have to care, cause what we do doesn't matter. we don't have to pay the price. That is so wrong though,,, Cheating on a test might make you pass that grade, but when you need that information, what will save you then? In Africa, kids have to walk for miles because they need clean water to drink, for them and there siblings they support. If they don't do it, they will die. Plain and simple. I am blessed to live in New Zealand, but to be honest i think people here should be ashamed of themselves. Because some of us barely get off our butts and fight for what we believe in, if its out of our way.. In many countries it is illegal to be a Christian, think about it, if it was that hard, would you still be one? or will you cave in under the pressure? Here in New Zealand many people are Sunday Christians, because people at their school/ workplace, or whatever think its stupid or whatever.. but yeah, I actually have no idea what I'm going on about... So i'll end this here...
Just think, what do you believe in, and do you stand you stand up for it? and also, Do you act in such a way that brings God glory, or do you pretend not to know Him?

May God be with you, now and always..
