The LORD is my strength and my shield; My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped;Therefore my heart greatly rejoices,And with my song I will praise Him.

The joy of the Lord is my strength.
Never let the fear of STRIKING OUT, keep you from playing the game.

I am back!
Friday, January 7, 20114:36:00 AM
 Hello! I know I have been using Tumblr, and I realized I dun really blog, instead I just post pictures. Well that seems to be a little meaningless. Especially when the posts are all quite emo! haha. So I have decided to come back to blogspot and really blog. I know I am very busy! So sometimes i think I wont be able to blog. but nevermind, lets just see how things go alright! (: Anyway, later I will be having LAST SUPPER! Very EGG-CITED! hahah The food especially! But I shouldnt not eat too much! Well i hope! Today was really a hard day. I was told stuff that really broke my heart. I feel quite upset over it! I felt quite humiliated. I believe there could be a better way to handle what happened. but apparently, it was handled tat way. It was very selfish and heartless. But i guess only being heartless, can things be done and a clean cut can be made. Well now I dunno what to do. I guess I was just very silly and gullible. I really learnt my lesson. And I guess I will never forget this. I am going to move on. And hopefully it doesnt affect me at all. Give me some time. I need to heal. Dear Heavenly father, I should have listen to you from the very beginning. I know. And I learnt my lesson. Father Pls help me heal my heart. It is so painful. But I will give it all to you. I know you will be with me always. Amen. |
