Do you ever get the feeling that some of your friends really don't care too much about others and they're all so focussed on themselves and their own problems? Not all of them, just some... what do you do?

I don't know. I really have no clue what you can even do in those situations, because I've been in them and nothing that I've tried has worked. But then you flip that around.. what do you do if people are thinking that you're the one that doesn't care too much about others and only cares about yourself? I guess all you can do is try and care about others and don't expect anything in return because sometimes you just won't get it.
Eh, I'm tired. |

"And later on, we took a southbound train, it was cold out and it was freezing down rain.
But then it let up, and we screamed for the change, but you just stood there, and you started to shake."
(Inspiration for this blog by Semi's blog. )
Why do you keep doing this to yourself?
Let's imagine for a minute that you're going to the shops. You go into your choice of whatever shop and you find.. a new music cd! It's really expensive, but it's your favourite band, so you go and pay for it. As soon as you get home, you carefully take it out of the bag. It now becomes your favourite thing in the whole world, this cd that you've been waiting for so long to come out. Every day you come home from school, you clean the cd and pop it into the cd player or computer and you have a nice listen. Your friends ask to borrow it once or twice, but after they see how obsessed you are with it, they stop asking.
If anything happened to this cd, you would be absolutely heartbroken. Everyday you check for scratches, and only after being totally certain that it's fine, you carefully place it back in the case and always keep it in sight. Every time you find a piece of dust/anything on it, you clean it as if it's a million dollar statue.
Why are we so careful with our material possessions yet every single day we seemingly throw our very lives away? Oh yeah that's right, I'm talking about you, so I'm hoping that you'll pay attention to me this time. Think about the last time you were obsessed with something material, whether it's a cd, or an item of clothing, or a game. Oh, you'll do anything for this thing, but take a look behind you, you're leaving your own soul lying in the dust! You make sure your new album is clean, yet your inner being is filthy!
We make decisions everyday. We have to decide what we're going to say, what we're going to do. Even if it doesn't feel like it, even if you don't give a stuff, God's watching the decisions that you make. Don't think you can keep getting away with it, don't be silly. Whether it's that hurtful comment you thoughtlessly said to that girl in the corridor or that time you hit that kid to impress your friends..
Why do you keep doing this to yourself? 
It's hurting you and you don't even feel it anymore. It's hurting your friends, and we're just the ones watching.
Cd's can be replaced. But you can't. |

there was a man preaching at the church up the road, but it wasn't lyndon, his name was Len, apparently. he said that greed basically amounts to idolatry, self worship, because even by asking god, 'bless me lord, help me get a raise, get a better deal on my mortgage, etc', we're only thinking of ourselves. we need to be praying, 'lord god, bless eliza so that you could bring her to a place where she could grow in your word daily, penny, etc...', be devoted to one another in prayer that should glorify god.
think of the lord's prayer. it's all humility, all forgiveness, all glorifying god. jesus said before he began, "THIS is how you should pray."
i sort of wandered off from what the message was about, but whatever...
pleh... greed is poo. |

"Has there ever been a moment in time that you wished would last forever?"
I've been writing. Mostly things that no one else is ever going to see. In fact, I've been writing letters to you all, the things that I want to say to you but know that I can't. If I die, you can read it haha, it's the blue/black book in the shelf in my desk . It's fun writing stuff to people when they probably won't ever read it. I've been writing stories about you people, the things that we go through. I've discovered that writing is really a good way to get things out.
Um, I wrote this just before, and I don't know why I'm posting it but oh well. I guess the moral of it is that when you find a close friend, stick with them. Because if you lose them, if you let them go, it's going to come back and get ya. You can probably all figure out who this is about, but if you do, I'd rather you not post it, thanks. Anyhow, enjoy.
EDIT: Yes, I was inspired by Shane's blog because I love his writing. Sue me! (Actually you probably could, but please don't..)
I remember when you and I never wanted to grow up.
I remember games of hide and go seek, where we would giggle and grin and play all day. We played tag outside in the afternoon brilliance of my backyard, with sun and shadows dancing all around us. How we wished we could dance with them forever. I remember late nights hiding under a blanket, not wanting to get caught by parents. The stories we told; the laughter that we couldn't contain.. I remember it all.
Do you remember when we played pirates? I know I do. We chased each other around at all hours of the day, wanting it never to end. We were mermaids in the swimming pool, defeating pool-cleaner sharks and rowing to Antarctica in my little inflatable boat. We packed a picnic even though the journey was ten metres long. Do you remember when we floated in the water on New Years Eve, watching the neighbours letting off their illegal fireworks? It was cold and it was great. Do you remember?
When did you grow up?
I remember when you came rushing in one day excited about your new life, your new friends. The sparkle in your eye made me smile and thankful that I had such a friend as you. Your family came over for a barbeque, and we were hit by a freakish rainstorm. We screamed and laughed and ran inside before we could get wet. But as I think back on it now, I wonder what's wrong with getting wet? It was our job to get dirty, we were kids.. or so I thought.
Do you remember when you invited me to hang out with your friends? I thought it would get us closer again, but all it did was tear us further apart. You went on to do your own thing with the people you were closest to. How I wished that it was me.
We were going to be like Peter Pan, you and me.
I remember the one last time I felt close to you. We were sitting in your bedroom watching Channel 10 and we poured our deepest thoughts out to one another. Fears, joy, excitement.. for the last time, I told you that you were my best friend. The phone rang and it was your best friend, and you took it into the kitchen. I sat in your bedroom, and after realizing what we'd come to, I tried hard to keep the tears in. You didn't notice.
What happened to never growing up?
We still saw each other, twice a week or maybe more. We were still friends, still acknowledged each other as we passed by, but you grew up. I still wanted to be a pirate or a mermaid; you wanted to be with your boyfriend. I wanted to row to Antarctica; you wanted to go shopping. I spent my afternoons riding my bike in the backyard, dancing in the sun and shadows.. you spent your afternoons alone in your room.
The sparkle in your eyes disappeared. The real pirates of the world had gotten to you, broken you down, and ruined you. You had taken yourself to places worse than Antarctica, and somehow gotten yourself back to tell the tale. I saw the scars, I saw the hurt. You needed love; you needed it so much. I heard rumors; you still didn't seem to care about what everyone was saying about you. You used to be so strong.
Come back.
We'll go find Peter Pan. |

You are amazing.
I know how it feels though, losing a best friend like that.
Marc and I, we are neighbours, and at one stage, we were best friends. We used to play Pokemon cards and Beyblades all the time and all that junk. We always had so much fun.
Then he started highschool and I was in year 7. All of a sudden, he never wanted to come over my house, and would much rather play video games all the time. He wouldn't speak to me, and even after he promised that he'd always be my best friend, he found a new best friend.
I was pretty heartbroken, and I retreated.
I saw him after a while, and he was smoking. He had turned into something horrible, and I didn't know him anymore.
Still hurts, actually. I miss him.

It sucks, doesn't it?
I used to be an idiot and not be able to stand people who mess themselves up so badly like that.
But then I got thinking about the stuff that happened to them to make them like that.
Like I said to Matt, 'best friends forever' doesn't always hold out/ |

Beyblades rocked.
We played Pokemon cards, Gameboy, Beyblades, Action Man, and all those backyard games like Red Rover. Rofl.
Good times.
I remember Marc telling me how even though he was the fastest runner, I was like a rocket too. It made my day being told that I was really good at running. Gave me a huge confidence boost actually, and then I did my first sports day at primary school. Came 3rd in sprints, 1st in relay and 5th in long jump. Made it to the districts. He was so proud.

"I LOVE GOD!"
Remember how Mike Guglielmucci was told he was going to die?
| His myspace wrote: | | HEY GUYS!!!! INCREDIBLE NEWS!!!! THE HEALING PROCESS HAS BEGUN!!!! ON MONDAY I WENT TO JOHN WESLEYS CHAPEL IN BRISTOL. AS I STOOD IN WESLEYS PULPIT GODS POWER TOUCHED MY BODY!!!! TO CUT A LONG STORY SHORT. I LEFT MY WHEELCHAIR THERE!!!! MY BACK IS HEALED, MY HIPS ARE HEALED, MY LEGS ARE HEALED!!!! I STILL HAVE PAIN IN MY UPPER BODY BUT IT HAS STARTED!!!! PRAISE AND GLORY TO THE KING OF ALL KINGS!!!! MY SAVIOUR, MY PORTION, MY FREEDOM, MY HEALER!!!!! |
I admit, usually caps lock and excess of !!!! gets on my nerves. But not today. Man, God is sweet. God is flippin' awesome.
In other news, I have a 2300 word appreciation thing sitting in my documents and I think it might actually be too big to post because no one will want to read it all, haha. So maybe I'll just tell people separately, I don't know. But I do want to tell them. Arg, what should I do?

Eh, I know you're all getting sick of how much I thank you guys, but if I do post it I just want you to know that it's not attention seeking or whatever because i'm over that, it's to let you all know how much I love you and to thank you.
Plus I want to add some more for Eliza, Robert, Elliott and Stephen, which will make it even more long and boring. So don't get too excited because if I even do post it, chances are it won't be posted tonight.
EDIT: Screw that, I'm not posting it. If you want to know what yours is, msn me. |

To people who didn't msn me, I've left yours in your thoih inbox, cos I thought you may as well see it. If you aren't included, honestly it's only because we haven't spent that much time together recently, and I'm only good at writing about things that have happened recently.
So check your mail.
EDIT: To Chris and Josh, who didn't get one.. again, it's because we haven't really talked recently. But both of you, I love you so much. I'm extremely glad to have you two as friends. Take care alright, and thank you so much for all the things you've both done for me. |

"I feel just like a failure.. maybe I am."
Hey everyone.
How are you doing?
Today I've been thinking about lots of stuff. I've been thinking about the past, both the good and the bad. I've been thinking about you guys and some of the times that we've spent together. I've been thinking about God and Planetshakers and shoulder lean and love. I've been craving alone time, but I've been craving some time with some of you people as well. *Shrug* I am not joking when I say I'm going to buy that farm, and once I get there I'm not leaving.
Ever wanted to just give up?
Just wanted to lie down and go to sleep? Have you ever just wanted to not bother with this *insert swearzorz here* and just give up? But then you just realise how much you actually have to live for.. the people and the times that you've had with them.. and you discover, you've got a heck of a lot to live for. Love.
Heh, remember when this blog used to be so good and happy?
Question time I guess.. I've asked a few people this question this week but I guess I may as well ask it again. Has there ever been a moment that you just wished could have lasted forever? |

Not to do a "zomg, he's better than Mike", but Steve Rowe from Mortification at the peak of his Accute Luekemia, he was given a maximum of 2 hours to live (some stories say he was dead), but that was 10 and a half years ago and still is making music for the Lord and preaching to the masses. That's the glory of God, bringing people from the brink of death and using it for His glory.
If God can do it for Steve Rowe, he can do it for Mike.
http://www.lysator.liu.se/~olovd/mort.html
| Steve Rowe's Statement in '99 wrote: | | We have some awesome news!!!! As you all know, in June of 1997, while doctors were saying that he would be dead within hours, God moved sovereignly and miraculously to heal Steve of leukemia and cancer. Although there is no trace of cancer left in his body, Steve's legs have remained motor paralyzed from the effects of the chemotherapy. About a month ago Steve began a new type of physio therapy in hopes of regaining the full use of his legs. After only three weeks of using this alternative therapy, we are blessed and rejoicing to announce that Steve is now walking without the use of his cane!!! All Thanks and Praise to God!!! Also, when Mortification toured Europe this summer, Steve's kidneys were functioning at only 20%. Since he has been home, his kidney function has improved 100%!!!! It is so awesome to see God's power at work in Steve's life. It is God and God alone who has done this miraculous work. There is no man that can take credit for this miracle. God answered the prayers of His people around the world. Please continue to lift Steve in your prayers so we can all rejoice together as God continues to heal and restore his body. We thank all of you for your continued prayers and support. |
You see why I am a huge fan of Mortification, and despise it when people insult them and judge them?

Back to your blog question.
The answer was yes. At the time, I wished it went forever, but looking back now it was better it did not. Well, that is what God's timing is all about I suppose..
God and his omniescence FTfreakingW!
