Walls

im so tired of this.
getting my hopes us..
then them fail. 
its horrible
why is it always like this.
why do i let my heart get like this
i try.
so hard.
but something happens and the walls come up
guess what world
the walls are up.
and its going to take an act of God for them to come down
because i dont want to let them down
no 
why should i let them down 
just to get hurt again.
id rather pull into myself
the tears come
but not for anyone anymore
the pain comes but 
ill keep it to myself.
im sorry
i just cant trust anyone anymore.
i need Jesus to do a miracle.
i need love
i need words
i need hope.
therein lies my answer.
but i cant find it.
and im searching so searching
but where is the hope
i know where it is.
i dont feel it
and i keep losing it.
i cant grasp it
LORD?

choices

Today has probably been one of the worst days of my life. Left my thumb drive in my car so i cant print my paper which makes me 2 letter grades down and its not even that great of a paper... made a c on a math test.. have a  c in  math, history, and science. and to mention that one christmas present i got now is completely ruined... and i spent alot of money on it. then my teachers yelled at me and im behind in photography have a 2 test i forgot about and yes. not a good day. now i am not telling you this because i want you to feel bad for me or whatever. cause i dont mostly its my fault but i still cried. ive cried like 3 times and i sit her thinking about the should haves

i should have started my project earlier
i should have taken pictures
i should have studied
i should have done this 
i should have done that
 
but that is the past i cant change that
i cant change the stupid decisions i made

what i can change is my attitude now because Satan loves it when i am upset. Satan loves it when my attitude becomes sour. no i am bigger than him. i am stronger than him. only by the Blood of the Lamb am i stronger than that devil! so i have a choice now

will i be mad at my teacher or will i rejoice in the fact that i have a wonderful Savior
will i cry or will i laugh
will i frown or will i smile
will i hate or will i love
will i be the world or will i rise above it

even though i feel like crap i choose to be joyful..
considering the circumstances this is when God does the most.
LORD I'M READY:)

HOPE

let hope rise
and darkness surrender 
to your holy light
Jesus our God
great and mighty to be praised


hope is rising
i feel it.
its shaking within me
there is a hope stiring
burning 
inside of me
i cant contain it
i dont want to contain it
it must spread
it has to spread
it needs to spread
my generation needs this fire
it wants it
i want to give it to them
it is my job
my calling
my heart
my desire
what is this fire
what is the hope
its Christ in me
nothing can change it
take its place 
or alter it
it the cross
it the blood
its the prince of peace
its the alpha and omega
the beginning and the end
the Father
the Son
the Love
the hope
my hope

Father

I was the Father that cheered for you when your earthy father didn't show 
        up to your competition.
I was the Father that sat net to you at every Thanksgiving dinner when your
       earthly father stayed behind to work.
I was the Father who tucked you in and gave you a goodnight kiss when
        your earthly father was spending the night with another woman.
I was the Father who wished you happy birthday when your earthly father 
        forgot to tell you.
I was the Father who joked with you at dinner while your earthly father 
      worked extra late.
I was the Father who took you to school on your first day when your 
       earthly father didn't have time to.
I was the Father who sat down and watched movies with you 
      while your earthly father made money instead of spending quality time.
I was the Father who cuddled with you when you cried when your earthy 
      father got upset when you cried.
I was the Father that called you beautiful when your earthly father called  
     you fat.
I was the Father who loved you when your earthly father didn't.

a love

i just want a hand to hold
a heart to love 
and an arm to hug

a smile to share
a heart to care
a love unfold

i want an eye to wink
a look to sneak
and a joy complete

in all these things 
i want them with you
the only thing is 
i want them true


haha just something on my heart... no reason for it :)

Narnia

I'm sitting in bed with my two best friends at the beach and we are watching chronicles of narnia.
I cant help but see my life in this movie, with the four different characters.

in so many ways i'm like peter and let the pride and leadership things take control. it blindsights me. what i say goes and its just silly. but its part of it.

in many other ways i become like susan and become so logical and legalistic. my thoughts turn to facts rather than faith and i begin to doubt.

but then i am so much like edmund and am willing to sell things out for something good. something better. im willing to sacrifice someone else to save my life. i only look out of me and not for the good of others.

and lastly in so many ways i am like lucy. the child like faith takes me to beautiful places. it gives me joy and peace. i am cute and funloving but just love on other people. the love i have for them and other things shines brightley in the way i walk in talk.

but no matter what character i am
today
tomorrow
or yesterday
i still need an aslan
my aslan that will go to the stone table for me
i couldnt live my life without him
and without his perfect sacrifice i would have died.
without that perfect sacrifice
he couldnt have befundled the white witch
and saved my life from death.
without him i would have lost the battle.
without him i wouldnt have learned to love

election

i love my Jesus
whether obama or mccain is in office
i trust my Jesus
whether or not the president is muslim
i trust my God 
because His Word is life and truth
it never fails
the things of this world now are just coming true
its about time.
MY God spoke of this
and what he says is true
but i will lean on Him because he is rock
a shield 
a fortress
dont become blind by your own indifference 
or ignorance 
or stupidity.
no man can shake the foundations of my God
no law can stop the freedom in my heart.
no jail or money amount or anything can stop the joy i feel inside
its because of Jesus
America its time to face the facts.
Where is the trust we pledge everyday
where is the hope we speak of
we dont live up to it.
the trust in the Most High will save us
but realize God is a mystery
just because you didnt get your way
does not mean He is not working
He is ALWAYS working
there is a plan not just for you 
but for our country
everything is for His Glory
so stand america!
be strong
trust in God
because we are One Nation under One God
nothing like that changes.
so i will stand
with the Strength of my God
praise you forever and ever

missed opportunitys

so  yesterday i headed downtown and took some pictures with some amazing people... but i ran into this lady who probably changed my life forever... her name was brenda.. i was so compelled to stop i did and just got to know here a little bit. she was so cute and so sweet. she asked me for money because she was homeless and hungry. she hadnt had a job in 3 weeks and had been living on the streets.. some teeth were missing but my heart went out to her... i had no money so i offered to pray for her... right in the middle of downtown birmingham. i pray for a little while... not a baptist prayer just a prayer that was on my heart. but the thing is i met with God. for a split second. i met face to face with an opportunity to meet God and i grabbed at it. 
about 30 hours later my mom is late coming home and i want to go to church.... i get so frustrated that she is an hour late that i fly down the interstate. fly like 100 ish my sole focus was to get to church on time for a prayer meeting... i was already late so i was gonna have to come in late and the frustration built and built and built.. i get to church and sit down and im convicted like crazy. its like i hear God telling me... YOU MISSED ME. I COULD HAVE SHOWED YOU SOMETHING GREAT AND CRAZY AND LOVED ON YOU IN YOUR FRUSTRATION WHEN IT WAS JUST THE TWO OF US BUT YOU MISSED ME.  and my mind began to think alot. i missed an opportunity to meet face to face with my Creator. i missed out on it. i cant believe that. how many times do i walk down the hallway and miss an opportunity. when i see someone crying and i pass by... where is the compassion. thats how i meet God face to face taking the missed opportunities the people before you didnt take. now its not all about who takes them. its the fact that they are getting taken. but why would i want to miss out on an opportunity to love on God to meet with him. to talk about him or with him. why? is my world so much better than his love.
HECK NO
so now... every missed opportunity from the person in front of me is just another opportunity God is graciously giving me..

what the world says i need

a friend of mine suggested to do this if i was bored...  google type in your name and needs and see what pops up here goes:
vivian needs:

our thoughts and prayers
some jesus
to start dancing more
your support
to shut up now
help
your votes
a heart transplant
to return to Austrailia


who is google to tell me what i need
who is this world to show me how to live
who are you to judge me
One person is all i need 
One person shows me how to live
One person will judge me
so why do i base my life on the thoughts of others
the actions
the words and whispers
what about the true One's voice that matters
What the world has to say is awful... 
shut up
go back to where you came from 
you need help 
your heart is bad
The One who comforts us doesnt say that
He says i love you
talk to me
come to me
Let me help you
i love your heart
who would i rather listen too... 
the One who speaks life
the One who comforts 
the One who lets me belong
the One who loves me
for me
as i am
nothing more

Wonder

i wonder what its like
to see the world through Your eyes
to know Your every thought 
to hear Your heartbeat
will You show me
will You tell me
it would be beautiful
i know You are beautiful
i see You in the trees 
flowers
faces
i hear You in the wind
the waves
the birds
i feel You in the love
the hugs 
the warm and cold
i experience You in the light
the dark
the quiet and the loud
show me Your face
a glimpse is what i long for
is that selfish
maybe not
maybe so
sing to me
You have a beautiful voice
o would You sing please!
and my heart joy
i would dance forever 
in the presence of Your voice
without Your voice 
i will dance
will You dance with me
will You lead me
of course You will
will i follow
i desire too
will You hug me 
cuddle with me
smile when  i say Your name
will You laugh at me 
and help me when i fall
of course You will
and i'm in wonder of it all

friends



proverbs 17:17  a friend loves at all times


in all your hardest times. its the friends that love you that will stay by your side

School

I sit here in class wondering about my fellow students..
i hear about people going to jail
about the parties
drugs
sex
all of it..
i wonder...
letting my thought stray never really works
it takes me to the past
a past i try to forget
but why should i
it shaped me and made me
it scares me
i could easily fall
the part of me that is weakest is where i fear ill mess up again
what is this 
where is this taking me.. 
a new ministry
an old one
the girls that need help 
need my past
why 
why does God work this way
will it stop
does the pain 
fear
expectations
Lord help
the confusion overwhelms me
the tears don't stop
i guess i just leave room
a miracle
a healing
a hope
a joy
a love
a peace
a ministry
not just for me 
for my girls
for my friends
for the students of VHHS

GLO

Healing
a fix of the brokenness with your body, mind, or spirit.
what do you take from the healing.
a memory
a pain
a happiness
all in God's hands.
most of all a love... 
a love conquered by ways people will never understand.
a healing is an understanding of what God does
a glimpse of the love He has for us
it can happen in an instant
it could take a month
it could take a year
either way. praise Him
forever
and ever
He will be glorified
medication
docotors
physologist
nothing but the will of God can heal you
a lesson
learned
cherised
remembered
everything 
use what He has healed you with
to heal the nations
to speak to the broken
to give hope
to show His love
be a vessel...
El Shaddai
