Don't Feel Lost...

"Everybody's looking,
But no one seems to really see me,
Really see me."
I know that's what you're thinking,
But Jesus cares, you've got to believe me,
Got to believe me, and.......

Don't feel lost,
Don't feel lost
Don't feel lost.
The Way you will find
If you trust in Him this time.

I'm watching you just running
With circles that are so misleading
That leave you bleeding
But please believe me, there's Someone
Who knows exactly what you are needing,
What you are needing.


Don't feel lost,
Follow the Light.
And don't feel tossed.
A brighter day's almost in sight.
The Way you will find
If you trust in Him this time.


Don't feel lost,
When you don't know what to do,
Please don't feel lost.
Heaven's love will see you through.
The Way you will find
If you trust in Him this time.


I wanna see your smiling face tonight,
I'm praying you'll make the right choice, yeah,
Because when all wrongs are made right,
Looking back, we'll laugh, we will rejoice.


We won't feel lost,
Won't feel lost.
So don't feel lost.
The Way you will find
If you trust in Him this time.


'Cause there's a better way,
And a brighter day,

And when this life gets strange,
Your dreams so out of range,
Remember, love is God,
Whose love for you
Will never, ever change!

Don't feel lost!

22 on the 22nd of September

All I can say is, that I have nothing to complain about my special day. The Lord,Vicky and others made it special all the way!
I woke up late, read the word, and went out with vicky to the movies watched "CLICK" with Adam Sandler, who I think is a great and funny actor. went out with the girls to eat ice cream and when I come back home...theres a surprise party presents, some foolishness from the kids and loads of love! That was everything...I couldnt believe it! I had a great time.

At the ice cream shop with Leila and Vicky..pigging out...wanna join?
LOL...this was so funny!!! Ocs dancing Rappy b-day to me, I laughed my head off
I had to pop like 50 balloons with notes inside and read each one, lots of work, believe me!
The crew, ready for the show,patiently waiting for the lady...

Eating crepe de Chocolate, very concentraded

Its over and Im 22!!! never thought this would happen..but here I am alive and kicking. One more year ahead to serve the Lord and give my all to Him.
2007....here I come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Song for 2006

People wish a lot of things for their new years, what I do is I usually get a song and claim it as mine and its usually something Im going through or that I feel. here is the song Ive chosen for this year, even though its almost over. Its still happening in my life...
It made cry a couple of times. the words are really deep and it has helped me understand that the Lord has a plan in our lives and what may seem like something bad is actually something good.


Blessing in Disguise
Verse 1
I never thought the desert would be so beautiful to me.I tried so hard to stay away from that place of misery.Through burning sand and lifeless valleys, threatened by the sun.I knew life was full of adventure, but for me this wasn't really one.
Chorus 1
I've traveled far, I've traveled wide, and I know Jesus never left my side.Compared to the love He placed in my life, I can say I never sacrificed.I've had my lows, I've had my highs, and when I felt my soul was paralyzed,He heard my cry and said, "You'll understand someday why it is a blessing in disguise."
Verse 2
How can my journey through the desert be worth all that I've gone through?It all seemed so overwhelming to lose everything but You.You said, "How can you say I'm all you need unless you've lost all else? How can you say that you trust Me until you give to Me yourself?"
Chorus 1
I've traveled far, I've traveled wide, and I know I never sacrificed.I've had my lows, I've had my highs, and when I felt my soul was paralyzed,He heard my cry and said, "You'll understand someday why it is a blessing in disguise."
Verse 3
When we reached the end of the desert and our journey had met its endI looked into the eyes of Jesus. He was now much more than a friend.The closeness we found together turned the desert sand to gold And made it a beautiful place, worth more than riches untold.
Chorus 3
I've traveled wide, and I know Jesus never left my side.Compared to the love He placed in my life, I can say I never sacrificed.I've had my lows, I've had my highs, and when I felt my soul was paralyzed,He heard my cry and said, "You'll understand someday why it is a blessing." Chorus 4
I've traveled far, I've traveled wide, and I know Jesus never left my side.Compared to the love He placed in my life, I can say I never sacrificed.I've had my lows, I've had my highs, and I've discovered sorrow's sweet surprise,And now I know, yes, now I understand today why it was a blessing in disguise.

OMG!!!!

I found out something interesting that I've been suspecting for quite a while.

My sunsign: Virgo
Rising: Leo
Moon: CANCER!!!
Sun: Gemini

I thought I had some cancer influence after being brainwashed by my crazy friend Sophie which is a Cancer herself, reading and talking about it. I realized it sounded too familiar...lo and behold when I went to check...cancer moon!
