Saturday Songs

Hey guys, here's two songs I've really been liking recently that I thought I'd share with you. Hope you like them too! And have a great Saturday!

Have you heard of this band before?
A lot of people at my school really like them.
My favourite is Harry, in case you don't know,
he's the one with the curly hair, wearing the plaid shirt,
and sings second in the song. Which one do you?


This song is different from all of Taylor Swift's other song,
it has more of a sad, soft, scared tone to it, but I still really like it!
It's also gonna be in the Hunger Games Movie.
Have you read the books? I haven't but I will before the movie comes out.

Take The Wheel

I forget sometimes. I forget what He did for me, and what it really means. That the life I'm living isn't mine. That I'm not in control. At times, these things slip my memory. I am a person who tends to over-think. Or make things a little more difficult than they have to be. But then I step back, and really look at what I'm doing. I'm trying to figure everything out, when really, it's not my job. God knows what He's doing. And I need to trust Him, and leave it in His hands.

But He did give us the opportunity to make our own choices. He gave us the freedom to do what we want. And that's good. Because then we can learn from our mistakes. We learn, and grow in our faith. I'm still learning to listen to God. I heard once that praying is good, but it should be a two-way conversation. I do talk to God, but I want to work on hearing Him. As a Christian, I'm still growing. And one thing I keep on having to learn is that we're not in control. Take the wheel, Lord, I put my trust in You ...

Beauty

"You are altogether beautiful, my darling; there is no flaw in you."

~Song of Songs 4:7

What is beauty? And what does it look like? Everyone has their own opinion, and think they know what it means. But when it comes down to it, there's only one opinion that really matters. Yours. To me, the first step to being beautiful is being happy with who you are! You've got to feel good with the skin your in! A smiling person is way prettier than someone who has a big frown spread across their face. My mom always told me that I had to like me before I could like anyone else. And she is so right!

After being happy, the rest kinda comes naturally. When you feel good, you show it! Your heart shines, and your inner beauty breaks free! I think everyone is beautiful, but for some people, it takes time for them to realize their true beauty. It's a journey for all of us. We all have those moments when we look in the mirror and start pointing out our flaws. Even worse, some point out other's flaws. But if we can just find happiness in life, we can find the beauty hidden beneath every heart.

No matter where I am on my journey, I know God is with me. He is the one who sees beauty in all! And without Him, I wouldn't be able to be completely happy in life. I wouldn't be able to live a beautiful life.

Happy Birthday to Me

I can't believe it. I am 15 years old. Does time fly or what? I don't feel any different from yesterday, or even last week. Then again I guess I'm not supposed to because I'm still me, just older! Thinking back over my not-so-long lifetime makes me smile. I've got a lot of great memories to cherish. Today marks another chapter in my life, and it's just one more step towards my bright future! I'm very excited as to what God has planned for me. But as for right now, I'm just happy to be 15.

Mean

Stand up, and be proud.
Don't let anybody put you down.

They may seem big, they may be mean,
But in the end that's all they're gonna be.

Don't let them tear you apart,
Don't take their lies to heart.

You know what they say isn't true,
Be strong and show them the real you.

You're so much better than all of them,
They're the ones with the problem.

Let your inner beauty shine,
Things will get better over time.

Words can hurt more than sticks and stones,
A heart can break just the same as bones.

Next time you're hit or teased.
Remember Him, and just believe.

The opposite of faith is fear,
Stick with God, he's always near.

This poem was inspired by the song Mean-Taylor Swift

Music

Music is an interesting thing. No-matter who you are or where you are on this planet, everyone speaks the language of music! Some music is calming and relaxing while other genres are meant to excite and pump you up. Some just make you want to get up and dance! What is it about music that makes it so powerful?

I think music is unique and special because each song that has ever been written comes from the heart of a person. They were inspired and motivated to write about their life, their feelings, their dreams. The songs I like best are the ones that are real. The ones I can relate to ... that have a story behind them and can only be understood by another heart with the same feelings.

Music isn't just people singing. It's a way for God to communicate with us. He speaks to us through songs. His presence can be felt while listening to it. He uses music to heal, enlighten, and touch us. Maybe next time you want to speak to God, don't pray, but sing.

Chirtsmas Poem

Christmas is 'round the corner,

Christmas is almost here,

Christmas is very close,

Christmas is oh, so near.

Christmas brings many smiles,

Christmas brings lots of lights,

Christmas brings people together,

Christmas brings snowy nights.

Christmas began with an answer,

Christmas began with a sacrifice,

Christmas began with Jesus,

Christmas began with Christ.
