10 second update of my life

1. Work: argh!
2. Uni: argh!
3. Glue: awesome!
4. Music ministry: awesome!
5. QTs: better than last year due to No.3, but still lots of room for improvement.
6. Social life: pretty good, I have awesome friends =D
7. Family: um...same old...with new bathroom in house =)
8. Guitar, and jazz piano stuff: at the moment, gathering dust =( (probably due to No.1)
9. Driving: let's not go there!
10. Song/poetry writing attempts: none over the past few months (refer also to No. 1...and prob no.2 as well)

OK, that probably took more than 10 seconds.
So. I might as well keep going.

11. Recent CD purchases:
The Beatles - 1 (Yay, 27 tracks for $15! I love Dirt Cheap =) Anyway, this album brings back memories of lounging around in Cat's parents' house in England...)
Switchfoot - Learning to Breathe ($10 from Koorong =) Better than their new one!)
Compliments of Gus - Neon Show & Live At Baker Street (limited edition 2 disc set) (cos I felt guilty for having a cassette tape of Neon Show ripped off from Pun's CD in Year 12)

LOL

12. Keeping up-to-date with people's blogs: rather eratic, but then a lot of them don't post very often anymore either...
13. Posting on own blog: whenever I feel like it...
14. Chiro appointments: down to fortnightly starting from this week!
15. New addictive TV show: Heroes! (8:30 Wednesday nights, Channel 7)
16. EU: not going to public meetings this semester anymore, but going to a cosy three-person small group on Friday arvos...hopefully will get more ppl...?
17. 21st planning: getting there slowly...Mum is probably thinking about it more than I am at this stage...

Um....can't think of anything else that's going on at the moment!

So...



How are YOU?

Ooooo....Ahhhhh

Singing is fun =)

Amazing Alliteration

I discovered this poet's website from a friend's email...

The Messiah’s Model Message

My Master
most magnified be your moniker.

May your monarchy be made
and your mandate manifested
in the mundane domain of man
as it is in your Mystical Mansion and matching meadows.

Maintain my milk and munchies.

Make minimal mention of my many mistakes
as I make minimal mention
of the many mistakes made against me.

And may you manoeuvre me in such a manner
as to miss the mischievous movements
of the meddlesome Master of Meanies.

For you are the Monarch of Monarchs -
the most mighty;
the most magnifique!
For millennia and millennia…

Amen-ia



--Cameron M. Semmens

Awake is the new sleep

You know, it's just dawned on me that I have at least 15 waking hours in a day....now if only I had the energy or the will to use them all effectively...

Praise You In This Storm - Casting Crowns

I was sure by now
That You would have reached down
And wiped our tears away
Stepped in and saved the day
But once again, I say "Amen", and it's still raining

As the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain,
"I'm with You"
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away

I'll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
Every tear I've cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm

I remember when
I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry to You
You raised me up again
My strength is almost gone
How can I carry on
If I can't find You?

As the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain,
"I'm with You"
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away

I'll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
Every tear I've cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm

I lift my eyes unto the hills
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
The Maker of Heaven and Earth
