I can remember when we became friends,
We were close and very inseparable,
We used to hangout all the time,
And we could tell ourselves everything,
Now you feel me aint perfect for ya,
You feel I do not belong at your level,
I try everyday to talk to you like before,
However, I guess I am just not good enough.
I feel very unappreciated now,
Because it is like our friendship means nothing to you,
I feel very unappreciated right now,
Because you discarded and tossed away something, I thought we shared.
I guess it is time to move on and be strong,
I guess I have to let you go.
They say some things are better forgotten,
So maybe we should forget being friends.
It really hurts to see you walk away,
And live me all alone.
But I will survive anyways,
My savoir is with me,
He will never let me down.
Wait!
Before you go… one more thing,
It was wonderful being your friend.

CONFESS THIS>>>
I really need you to confess this. It is inspired by the Holy Ghost.
I am not of this world.
I am a royal priest.
I have been called out of darkness into God’s marvelous light.
He has forgiven me all my sins and has given me all that I need.
Therefore, old things have passed away and all things have become new.
The Lords will not forsake me because of the sins of my past.
He will make me a new person.
Therefore, you shall bless the Lord when you see my righteousness and me.
All things will marvel and tremble at the sight of me.
Cause I am now an heir in the Kingdom of the Living God!
I AM A CHILD OF THE LIGHT!
THE SON OF GOD!

WE'RE BACK
Troubles are round us on every side, but we are not shut in; things are hard for us, but we see a way out of them (2 Corinthians 4:8)...
At the beginning of this year I promised God that I would do something for Him, that I would put my talents into something for His glory and so BOOST was born, with a lot of dreams for it. In the last few weeks, it has been hard to write like it wasn't by force and not be overwhelmed by circumstances around. Someone told me a while back that I seemed to be on top of everything all the time and it didn't look like I had any problems. All I said was "take control of things, don't let thing take control of you". Basically BOOST isn't going anywhere, not anytime soon.

I THINK I CAN, I THINK I CAN........I KNOW I CAN
Do you know that some eagles do not fly? The story is told of a man who found and eagle’s egg and put it into the nest of a prairie chicken. The eaglet hatched with the brood of chicks and grew up with them. All his life the eagle, thinking he was a prairie chicken, did whatever the other chickens did. He scratched the dirt for seeds and insects to eat. He clucked and cackled, and flew in a brief thrashing of wings and flurry of feathers no more than a few feet off the ground. After all, this is how prairie chickens are supposed to fly. Years passed ant the eagle grew old. One day, he saw a magnificent bird far above him in the cloudless sky. Hanging with graceful majesty on the powerful wind currents, it soared with scarcely a beat of its string golden wings. “What a beautiful bird!” said the eagle to his neighbor. “What is it?”
“That’s an eagle…the chief of birds”, the neighbor clucked. “But don’t give it a second thought. You could never be like him”. Therefore, the eagle never gave it another thought. And it died thinking it was a prairie chicken.
AS A MAN THINKETH SO HE IS.
Basically, all that we need to get to the point where God has destined for us is really in our hands. According to 3 John 1:2 He desires that we may prosper, so really and truly we hold the power. We can choose to be mere survivors on earth or we can thrive for a greater glory. Arise and soar like the eagle.

NO GIVIN' UP
Revelations 12: 11 "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives to the death."
In these past weeks, I have been faced with trials and the one verse that has kept me going is (and i am going to state it in my own style) "I overcame all _______ (trials, circumstances, unfortunate turn of events) by the blood of the lamb and the word of my testimony". I got so into it i started singing the marymary song "can't give up now". Sometimes things don't always go the way we plan, sometimes we've had things all figured out in our heads we can't imagine anything going wrong, and out of the blues we experience setbacks that could marr our plans. It is so easy to lose hope when in the dark, so much that we do not even see that scarlet rope that has been let down for us to hang on to.
I overcome all things by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of my testimony. (say it over n' over again, and don't you dare stop believing it)

THY WILL BE DONE
hey guys, i know it's been a month since the last post and i apologise. This post is a major one for me because a lot of it if not all is based on stuff i passed through in the past few weeks....
That's the 7th verse of a hymn by Charlotte Eliott "My God, My father while i stray". I heard this first on good friday at my church service, and this was the only verse that struck me....coincidentally the minister made us sing this verse three times. And I thought back to Jesus' prayer before his crucifixion and the bit where he went "not my will, but yours...'. I did not realise that in the weeks to follow, i would be tried on these very words. This is a period where a lot of people are expecting things.......not like we dont always, but now especially, there are a lot of expectations concerning admissions and finals....and so on. For me it was with my admissions, i knew i wanted to go and somehow i honestly did not think anything would go wrong with that...but guess wat?....things went REALLY wrong. At a point i thought all the schools i applied to were against me and it seemed like i was just piling up all them rejection letters. I could not believe it, i was so angry with everybody...especially God and i hated hearing "dont worry, you're smart, you'll get into a school, no doubt"....i especially hated hearing "Just pray that God's will be done"......i was just thinking, when exactly will that be? when there are no more schools left?
The one night while it was raining, i was sitting in the dark listening to the radio....and Martina McBride's (i love her by the way) song, anyway, was playing....that was all it took for me to admit defeat...i couldnt fight God (maybe other can but i cant)....and so i just started talking, told him i was tired of being mad and sad...i just wanted to get into a good school....no the right school. Remember the 3 minutes relief thing i wrote about sometime ago....well i felt relief, i poured it all out and just said.... "you know what God, just take me where you want me to go...cuz i know wherever it is, it will be the right place"
Well now, how do i feel?...Hopeful, the hard part now is making a choice...cuz he has prepared a table before me..such that i do not lack..i cannot be needy.
So people whenever you're in a fix...remember to let his will be done. Can i get a Halleluia somebody?

Renew my will from day to day;
Blend it with Thine and take away
All that now makes it hard to say,
"Thy will be done."

ADDICTION...(s)
FACT OR FICTION: the way to combat an addiction, is an even greater addiction ?
i am a huge fan of ugly betty and i remember when Daniel was trying to deal with his sexual appetite and whatsdatguy'sname? gave him the drug to use...to "combat" his sexual addiction...
Anyways, i posed a question to a lot of people around me, and now i'm asking you guys..is that how it works? Can we justify ANY form of addiction?
"oh it's okay to be hung on smoking...so long as it's not crack"
"i can cruise the XXX sites and pleasure myself...so long as i'm not actually doing IT"
I cant remember where exactly i saw this clip (geez i cud even have imagined it)...neways there was a wife talking to her husband about their 16yr old son, she was worried about the amount of time he spent surfing the net and about all the porno magazines she'd found in his room. When she was done, the husband turned to her and said..."just be glad he isnt high on crack"
i remember saying to myself "that's it?...you're not gonna even try to do anything?" and i remember another part of me (must have been the bad voice) saying "well what do you expect him to do?"
So now i ask, "is there not another way to combat/overcome/get over/... an addiction?"...cuz i really am not satisfied with the whole greater addiction theory...puh-lease (mshew)
