Courage does not always roar
sometimes courage is the quiet voice
at the end of the day saying
"I will try again tomorrow."

Facebook Vs. Myspace

Facebook vs. Myspace (A look at Phillipians)
February 2008
By Chris Lane

When I first heard about myspace I thought it was a silly idea. Why would I want to use myspace when I can already email, text, ring or even - crazy idea I know - see my friends face to face? But after a while I gave into peer pressure and joined.

About 2 weeks later I noticed I was getting lots of messages from people saying that myspace was 'so last year' and they were moving to Facebook, because it was so much better. When I asked why it was so much better no one could tell me the reason, it just was. So after much resistance I left the familiarity of myspace and ventured into the wild world of Facebook. It seemed pretty similar, yet so much better, but I couldn't explain why. The thing I like most about Facebook is seeing what people are up to on their status updates. Now I don't have to speak to anyone ever again, I can just check how they are on Facebook! It makes for a great social life.

2000 years ago there was no Facebook. This is a hard concept for us to grasp, but it's true. When Paul wrote the letter to the Philippians in the first century AD he was in prison with no broadband access. He couldn't even send an email. But he was able to write a letter to a church in Greece who had just sent him some money as a gift.

Philippi was the first place in Europe to hear the good news about the new King, Jesus, who had been crucified but had risen from the dead. Paul a lot of affection for this church, and his letter is full of encouragement and affirmation for them.
Although Paul hoped that he would be released from prison, he was facing a possible death sentence. The Roman Empire had little respect for human life, especially a life that was spreading a radical counter-cultural message about a new King to every corner of the Empire. As I thought about the dire situation Paul was in here facing death, struggling for food (prisoners weren't provided with food by their captors) I wondered what his Facebook status might have been if he'd lived 2000 years later...

Paul is scared? Depressed? Angry? Any of these would be a perfectly natural reaction. But actually his status update would have read something like this. Paul is joyful. Or Paul is thankful. Or Paul is content. Or Paul is hopeful and expectant that King Jesus will complete what he has started.

The letter to the Philippians is exactly the opposite of the kind of letter you'd expect Paul to have written in this situation.

Philippians 1:1-11
He begins his letter with a prayer of thanks to God not for himself but for his friends in Philippi. After greeting them with grace (which can mean joy, pleasure, acceptance) and peace (meaning wholeness, harmony, every kind of good), with joy and thankfulness he gives them some encouraging words, 'being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.'

When I was at school I had a friend who never finished anything she started. However much food she had, a tiny amount or lots, she would always leave a little bit. She never finished her homework, never finished cross-country races, and rarely even finished her sentences. I had another friend who would always have great ideas, tell everyone about them, get us excited about getting involved, then lose interest. Paul is telling us that God is not like that. When God starts his work in our lives, he never loses interest. He never gets bored, and never turns away to concentrate on his next project. He is with us from start to finish, working to help us become everything we can be as individuals and as churches. This is one of the main themes of the letter to the Philippians.

Paul also prays that their love would grow in knowledge and wisdom, or depth of insight. The more we know God, the more we'll love him. That's why it's important to study the Bible, because as we do that we'll get more knowledge and insight about God, and love him more as a result.

Drunk Driving

I went to a party,

And remembered what you said.
You told me not to drink, Mum
So I had a sprite instead.

I felt proud of myself,

The way you said I would,
That I didn't drink and drive,
Though some friends said I should.

I made a healthy choice,

And your advice to me was right,
The party finally ended,
And the kids drove out of sight.

I got into my car,

Sure to get home in one piece,
I never knew what was coming, Mum
Something I expected
least.

Now I'm lying on the pavement
And I hear the policeman say,
The kid that caused this wreck was drunk,
Mum, his voice seems far away.

My own blood's all around me,

As I try hard not to cry.
I can hear the paramedic say,
This girl is going to die.

I'm sure the guy had no
idea,

While he was flying high,
Because he chose to drink and drive,
Now I would have to die.

So why do people do it, Mum

Knowing that it ruins lives?
And now the pain is cutting me,
Like a hundred stabbing knives.

Someone should have taught him,
That it's wrong to drink and drive.
Maybe if his parents had,
I'd still be alive.

My breath is getting shorter, Mum

I'm getting really scared.
These are my final moments,
And I'm so unprepared.

I wish that you could hold me Mum,

As I lie here and die.
I wish that I could say, "I love you, Mum!"
So I love you and good-bye.

Hello Siblings,
So today I'm gonna write my shortest blog ever...coz I'm just gna write this rly beautiful phrase which has become my motto actually, and i also decided that after every post I'm gonna write a phrase or sentece which would have struck me that day. So this is the phrase today:




Happiness is like a butterfly, the more
you chase it, the more it will elude you,
but if you turn your attention to other things,
it will come and sit softly on your shoulder...

The Good That Can Come Out Of Turning Your Back To God...

Ok...so you guys must be thinking...WTH?!?!
But the title is what I'm gonna write bout today, it's like this image i got in my head which i tought was rly cool so i obviously must share it = )

So...the image is: hell and heaven devided in 2 with a line so imagine like both hell and heaven connected together and seperated only by this line in the middle....now us as humans since we'r not perfect and "holy" enough for heaven and we'r not too evil to be in helll...then we'r in the middle standing on this line...

Now Hell to me is xeba fire and screams (like they explain to us when we'r young) so when we'r rly close to God our backs are turned towards the fire and their getting burnt... but while we'r facing God it's like he puts a kind of field of protection around you so that when you turn away from Him the blast of fire won't damage you compltly and whilst your bck is turned to Him,

He heals all of your burns so that when you turn back to Him your back will be cured and you'll be stronger then you where before...and it will take you much longer to acctually turn your back on Him again coz the devil will need to work rly hard on burning you again xD

that's the image...it prob makes no sense guys.. just felt i had to post it for the two readers i have xD oh n btw the red symbolises bad, blue = good, blck = normal xD loool

Life And Something Like It = )

Hi guys,

So I admit I am not faithful to my blog buttt I have been busy doing nothing so don't judge >_<
Ok so I haven't been doing nothing actually I have been doing loads and loads hehe

Anyways my font's acting all weird atm... I'm guessing it's rebelling against me for not blogging in soo long! xD
Soo (oh my it has finally come to boold again I shall not touch and I shall keep it this way xD) soo as I was about to say before my font interrupted!! About 2 wks ago and much b4 that I was having a rly hard time with life and basically I'm not gna get into it here lol but anyway...hard time and I was like where's God?!?!? where is He??? maaaa....*depression*

And one fine day i kinda hit rock bottom and was so ashamed of it all that I just started praying mega hard...and in the end it mega helped :D
SO I'm just rly amazingly happy about that....and my story has a point guys dw lol

Hence (I use this word coz i say "so" too much!! xD) my point is that you know that feeling that you get when you 1st prayed rly well and gave all your problems to God and said "God I give You and trust You with my life?" well as christians we kinda get bored of it don't we? We just say in a daily prayer (if we even pray at all some of us) "Yes God, I give you my life.. bla. bla. bla." Well guys I just wanna say that if your going thro a hard time and you pray like that like I was doing then basically your not gna get anywhere coz unless we rly want God to act in our lives then He won't.

And if you guys are having problems just stop for 5 mins and pray for Him to help you and calm you dwn...mostly us who have Imp exams this year!! = S

So guys my msg to you today is pray as if it where your 1st time praying and never give only 99.9% to God but give 200% if you can!! coz when you give 200% He'll give you bck 500%! I know that doesnt make sense to you...but in my mind that's how I see it xD so don't judge = P

I had soo much more to say... like i was gna mention Achie's party but this blog's too long...so hpy B'day Achie,Tine,Rob (rllyy late xD lol)
Ohh and today I went to JC with Kai even tho she left early :( and stayed with Rob,Rache,Mina&Debbie :D and went into systems with rob xD lol I vry much loved it :)
Soooo....xD

I shall sign off now with butterflies and studiiesss
