VIEWING 1 - 6 OUT OF 6 TOTAL
In a world full of pain...
DATE: 08 03 2007, 8:23 am / MOOD: Sad
Yesterday I watched a video about lost children in Uganda. My friend told me to watch it even though I really didnt want to because it was 55 minutes long, but i swear this video has put a different view about life in my eyes. That might sound corny but its true. These children in Uganda have nothing, no parents, blankets, food, even clothing. These children are trying to run from "the rebels" who are kidnapping children, brain washing them to kill and then they use them as their soldiers. It is sick and disgusting how a man can use children like this. The reason why they are turning to use children is because the shortage of soldiers for the rebels. So they take the children make them walk to the bush (the desert) and thats when they start the brainwashing. To brainwash the children they take half the kids and torture and kill them while making the others watch so they can desensitize them. The kids are taught to kill and thats it. One kid said "I get headaches if i don't see blood." For the children who are running away from the rebels have a life full of fear, and nightmares. Many of them say that they cannot cry or the will lose the will to live. An eight year old boy saying he cannot cry is just so upsetting. He is just a child yet he has to worry about where he is going to sleep at night, what will he eat, and how to stay away from the rebels. When groups of children get to stay in a shelter for the night they sing songs of praise to the Lord. They dance, they laugh because they know they can live for at least one more day. But some kids are sick of running in fear and just wish their life is over. One boy named David said, "I wish i was dead, YES I wish i was dead so i can be with my brother in heaven, because I'm never going to see him again here on earth. But i know i will in heaven. My heart goes out for these children and I wish I could do more for them. But all i can do at the moment is pray, but one day i wish to be able to help them somehow. I really want you to watch the video to be able to understand everything that they really go through. It just amazed me how much stuff America takes for granted, when they are thankful for a floor to sleep on for a night. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3166797753930210643&q=invisible+children+of++uganda&total=306&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=0 ^^ put that in url and watch it please!!!!!!!!

WHERE IS THE LOVE?
DATE: 05 20 2007, 1:46 pm / MOOD: Disapointed
What's wrong with the world mama?
People living like aint got no mamas
I think the whole worlds addicted to the drama
Only attracted to the things that bring you trauma
Overseas yeah we tryin to stop terrorism
But we still got terrorists here livin
In the USA the big CIA the Bloodz and the Crips and the KKK
But if you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And if you hatin you're bound to get irate
Yeah madness is what you demonstrate
And that's exactly how anger works and operates
You gotta have love just to set it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate
Let your soul gravitate to the love y'all
People killing people dying
Children hurtin you hear them crying
Can you practice what you preach
Would you turn the other cheek?
Father Father Father help us
Send some guidance from above
Cause people got me got me questioning
Where is the love?(where is the lovex3)(the love2x)
It just ain't the same all ways have changed
New days are strange is the world the insane?
If love and peace so strong
Why are there pieces of love that don't belong
Nations dropping bombs
Chemical gases filling lungs of little ones
With ongoing suffering
As the youth die young
So ask yourself is the loving really strong?
So I can ask myself really what is going wrong
With this world that we living in
People keep on giving in
Makin wrong decisions
Only visions of them livin and
Not respecting each other
Deny thy brother
The wars' going on but the reasons' undercover
The truth is kept secret
Swept under the rug
If you never know truth
Then you never know love
Where's the love y'all?(I don't know)
Where's the truth y'all?(I don't know)
Where's the love y'all?
People killing people dying
Children hurtin you hear them crying
Can practice what you preach
Would you turn the other cheek?
Father father father help us
Send some guidance from above
Cause people got me got me questioning
Where is the love?(where is the lovex3)(the lovex2)
I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder
As I'm getting older y'all people get colder
Most of us only care about money makin
Selfishness got us followin the wrong direction
Wrong information always shown by the media
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting their young minds faster than bacteria
Kids wanna act like what the see in the cinema
Whatever happened to the values of humanity
Whatever happened to the fairness and equality
Instead of spreading love, we're spreading anomosity
Lack of understanding, leading us away from unity
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feeling under
That's the reason why sometimes I'm feeling down
It's no wonder why sometimes I'm feeling under
I gotta keep my faith alive, until love is found
People killing people dying
Children hurtin you hear them crying
Can you practice what you preach
Would you turn the other cheek?
Father Father Father help us
Send some guidance from above
Cause people got me got me questioning
Where is the love? Wow this song made me realize that our society has become so harsh. Where is the love? People are starving for love. We'll try anything to achieve it. Girls giving into premarital to find love from their boyfriends. Dressing slutty to get noticed by guys. Swearing to become "cool", just so people can love us. Where is the love? Is it in your ipod, your tv, or computer. I know where the love is. Its in Jesus Christ. Maybe you know that too. But the 15 year old girl pregnant and alone needs love. Its my job to share Jesus's love to people so they can know where the love is. |

I miss when being friends was enough.
DATE: 04 08 2007, 6:23 pm / MOOD: Lazy
I miss when being friends was enough. Is'nt dating to find the person ur gonna marry one day. So when your 14 r u reaaaaaly thinking of marrying the person u like? Prollly not, so whats the point of having to date the person? Personally when your friends with the person you have more of a connection then if your dating them. Every relationship that has happened in my class this year starts by the couple saying "I want to get to know u better." Ok thats fine, great, and dandy but it never ends that way. Getting to know the person better is usually by knowing how far you can go with them physically. So if you cared for that person is physical the way to go. No its not, cuz when u wanna hold someones hand r u looking out for them? Nope u arent. When u hold someones hand its for your own pleasure. Your not thinking, "I better hold her hand because its cold." Many times relationships happen because the person is pretty, popular, or rich but its never gonna end a fairytale if you base your values on that. I want someone who is spiritually strong with God, and respects my values and likes me for who I am. And if you really wanna impress me.........just be my friend!

Its ok to cry.
DATE: 04 06 2007, 9:56 am / MOOD: Neutral
The other day after going through lots of misfortunes I broke down crying infront of my friends. I'm not the the type who usually cries and I was so embarrased. In the past 3 years I've been through so much and havent cried about it. But the other day I had to let it out. Many people let their pride get in the way of their emotions and try to hold it in. (like me) But one of the best examples that its ok to cry is in John 11:35. It says jesus wept. Two simple words yet they help me so much. Jesus is one of the strongest people to have walked this earth and yet he cried. That didnt show that Jesus was weak, instead it showed that he cared. I don't feel stupid for crying anymore because one of the greatest people did it too!

A Poem I Wrote
DATE: 04 04 2007, 1:29 pm / MOOD: Don't know
Saved By God
By: Me I am withheld with deep despair,
The devil has lured me into his lair.
I am bound chain by chain,
That covers my body of pain.
I have become a compulsive sinner,
One that could never become a winner.
On each chain descripted are my faults.
With every mistake, what will result?
Will the chains become locked for them to stay?
Will I have to live in poverty every day?
As I feel like I can't fall any deeper,
I am soon lifted high by my rightful keeper.
Oh Lord, Oh Lord! Why did i forget you?
Why did I let my mind become so blue?
You broke my chains, and healed my scars.
Releasing me from these prisoner bars.
No matter what my faults be, Im always a winner in your eyes,
And I have recieved your everlasting golden prize. Yeah idk if this is good or not, but whatevah.

Where Did All My Time Go!!!
DATE: 12 29 2006, 6:28 pm / MOOD: Bored
Electronics today are the prized possesion in every home. Don't get me wrong they are great but hours after wasteless hours are spent on something that u end up gaining nothing from. I suffer from this myself, and in the end I have unfinished homework and a relationship with God that needs much mending. I stay up late to talk to my friends when in the end i should be talking to God. Don't waste ur time waiting for the boyfriend who u havent talked to in a "whole hour" or the bestfriend u have to tell a secret, who will end up blowing it anyway. God will listen just as well and actually keep ur secret! So when ur wondering, what did I do with all my time, its in that good ol' box where u shoved God into!
