It seems like yesterday that my world fell from the sky It seems like yesterday I didnt know how hard I could cry It feels like tomorrow I may not get by But I will try I will try wipe the tears from my eyes
[Chorus:] I'm beautifully broken and I don't mind if you know it I'm beautifully broken and I don't care if I show it
Every day is a new day I'm reminded of my past Everytime theres another storm I know that it wont last Every moment I'm filled with hope cause i get another chance But I will try I will try Got nothing left to hide
[Chorus]
Without the highs and the lows Where will we go? Where will we go?
[Chorus]
I am beautifully broken, I am beautifully broken I am beautifully broken and I don't care if I show it
Beautifully broken by ashlee simpson

i wrote this about a year ago. it was for half of my history final. ---------------------------------------------
Perfect World
What kind of world do we want? We want one filled with love No genocide No hate around us Just the sun shining above
We’d live as one In unison The trees with flowers in bloom No dying wish No world war Just children laughing and smiling
CHORUS If we just believe That the world can be A brighter, better place There’d be acceptance No discrimination Just you and me in peace
What kind of world do we want? We want one where we’d be free To spread our wings And fly away Not having any worries
We’d live as one For all time to come Sharing the land and sea Expressing ourselves In many ways No battles No misery
CHORUS If we just believe That the world can be A brighter, better place There’d be acceptance No discrimination Just you and me in peace

We had this yesterday in the sermon and I had never caught this part before:
Job Chapter 1
4 His sons used to take turns holding feasts in their homes, and they would invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them. 5 When a period of feasting had run its course, Job would send and have them purified. Early in the morning he would sacrifice a burnt offering for each of them, thinking, "Perhaps my children have sinned and cursed God in their hearts." This was Job's regular custom.
Thoughts: Well, for Old Testament times, Job was the picture of a good man. But, when we had this scripture read yesterday it struck me for the first time that how he parented his children was emphasized in order to demonstrate how good of a person he was.
I am not a parent, so I won't really comment on how to parent. I do know in today's world that parenting. I identified somewhat with Job's kids though. I know that when I do anything that my parents are still concerned about me and pray for me. This happens regardless if I'm running off to LA for a crazy weekend or spending a weekend working at the church. My parents and their teaching is omnipresent in my life. Sometimes it does seem smothering, but mostly it is a security blanket.
So, I just wonder about others and what lessons they've learned from their parents good or bad. I know not everyone is blessed with caring parents. My only nod to talking to parents would be to wonder what they are giving their kids. Do they know that their parent will always be there for them?

deep thoughts to think about here. I LOVE it though and it has me digging AND enjoying the teachings of my mom whom I lost last September 16th at 6:15....that's pitiful that I know that. I think also I've learned many wonderful things from my friends here as well, how to grow, how to put others first, and how to accept everyone just as they are, weird or not. yes, I'm weird, but I think people are used to it now? ok, I'm getting WAY off topic here.....NANCY RAMBLE....

Matthew Chapter 5
25"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?
Thoughts: I got an email from my cousin today who lives a very hectic life. He has three very active kids, a demanding job, and a high maintenance farm. He was telling how he broke his finger redoing the floors in their house.
Now we are all stressed and worried about the cost of gas right now. Right now, I'm not working so it's ok, but I worry about being able to do things like fly to California to annoy my bestest friend. However, my cousin pointed out something I had not thought about. Because of the gas ordeal, he and his family are staying home more and spending time together. I wonder if more families are doing this?
God can use anything for good. I forget that all the time and then I start to worry.

Matthew Chapter 5 28"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Thoughts:
I'm in tears right now because my doctor wanted me to get a cat scan (though I had no real symptoms) and I (stupidly) did not realize it was as expensive as it is. The bills are starting to come in and I'm floored with what I owe.
I have been working really hard at saving money and paying down debt. I have not been stressed over money for a while. I have the money to pay the bills, but it will take all of my "emergency fund."
The problem is that I'm so stressed about the possibility of that fund being gone. And being stressed about it is kind of wrong. I look at that part that says "do not worry about tomorrow.." and I realize a couple of things. I am trying to do what is right financially and My God is looking out for me. Big bills or small bills it will be ok. I may have been able to save that money for such a time as this.

When you get so many people working together for one common goal, you can't really be stopped - passionate people cannot be stopped. The trick is to find something to believe and be passionate about. ~Dino Kourelis
