Okay guys, pay attention...

I do NOT need your lies.

STOP bloody lying to me. It doesn't get you anywhere and it certainly doesn't get me anywhere.

I don't need it. If you're going to say something to me you better freakin' mean it.

I need more defences
You seem to think that I
Deserve your pretences"

Learning to fly...

"I'm learnin' to fly,
But I ain't got wings.
Comin' down
Is the hardest thing"

I've been thinking...you may remember one of my earlier posts saying about how I'm giving my job situation over to God?? I realised on Friday that I hadn't. Not fully anyway.
I haven't done any packing of my belongings yet. Partly that is because I just have no idea where to start, but more than that is the fact that I keep thinking that if I can't get a job or if for some reason I can't move then it will be too upsetting having to unpack everything, and I was thinking about that and it just struck me. Wait a minute, that isn't trusting God, is it? That isn't giving it all over to him.

So...I've decided to attempt to pack. It is going to be hard as I have no clue where to start. In fact, just the thought of it makes me go all chaotic and fluttery. I can't pack to go on holiday without supreme effort, I don't know how I'll manage this. It's harder as well because I won't be taking everything.

Anyone with any tips, please let me know them!

"I'm going into the kitchen where everything makes sense!"

"I've lost more inside
Than the spirit that's died, yeah
In my state of my mind
I've got to rely from hereon in..."


I feel so awful today. Nothing is going right, not one darn thing.

If anyone knows the best way to escape reality for a few days (or a week or more), PLEASE, please, please let me know. I really need it.

What comes up must come down...

Stef can't come this weekend. *siiiiiiiiiiiiigh* I knew it though. Everytime I mentioned it I asked him if he was still planning to come and every time I expected him to say he couldn't so I guess I shouldn't be too surprised.

I'm not sure I can keep doing this. My life is revolving around something that I can't change. And when I DO have an opportunity to change it, I fall short of ACTUALLY being able to change it.
I feel like I'm walking an inch to move a mile (cheers 3DD!) here. I don't want to feel like this anymore. I feel so useless.

Isn't it odd how something that brings so much happiness and love and joy, can also bring so much pain?? I've never experienced anything like this before. I can't stop crying. (And please, no comments about me being over-sensitive or whatever. I'm really not in the mood.)

If I could walk away then I probably would but I know that I don't want to and that walking away would be pretty much the worse thing I could do. I know where I'm meant to be.

Raindrops are falling on my head...

It's just started absolutly pouring down with rain and I just got an urge to run around in it!

I resisted for now though. I don't think that would be a sensible idea at the moment. It's thundery too. So cool. It hasn't rained this hard for a while. Gotta love rain. In the right situation, of course.

Anyway, to stop myself from running around in it, I'm going to go and do some dancing now.

Afternoon all *tips hat*

What a guy!!!!

Stef said that he loves taking care of me!

Wow!!! I don't know what to say. Except that I'm very lucky, of course.

He also said I'm beautiful *giggle*

"I wake up scared, I wake up strange and I wake up wondering if anything in my life is ever gonna change..."

Anyone think I'm never going to get a job?? *sigh*


"I wake up scared
I wake up strange
And everything around me stays the same...."

Update on my godmother

A few posts ago, I said about my godmother's cancer spreading.

Earlier this evening I heard that she is going for a head scan tomorrow (at our hospital) and a head scan on Thursday (at Addenbrookes in Cambridge) to assess her need for radiotherapy.

Please pray for her if you would be so kind.

Thanks guys

Thank you

I just want to say thank you to everyone who has been praying for me recently about the job situation etc. I know many of them won't ever read this but I can't thank everyone personally but I do want to do it so if anyone is reading this who has prayed for me: THANK YOU! Seriously, it means so much guys.

My vicar said yesterday that he wants me to let him know as soon as I hear back from any jobs and that he's been praying for me, not that he wants me to go, but it's where I want to be. That nearly made me cry (I was going to put a reminder about a post I had written but I just remembered I didn't publish it the end so...you can't be reminded of the post that never was. I may write one but I need to think how to word it without repeating myself over and over. Anyway, I've been kinda over sensitive lately), everyone is being so supportive over all of this.

I can't help but feel I'm letting them all down.

I may not agree with what you say but I will defend to the death your right to shut up

(Btw, title has absolutely nothing to do with the thread, I just like it!)

Yesterday (when we got home after church) I went upstairs abd started reading a chapter of the Bible. I got interrupted but then I forgot what I was doing (yeah, my memory is awful)and I went to put a song on. My hi fi wouldn't play the track. It would make the whirring sound and then just not play (it was registering the CD fine and everything). I tried again another couple of times but it wouldn't play. At that point I was pondering how to fill the few minutes I had when I remembered I had the chapter to finish, so I went back to it. When I'd finished that I tried my hi fi again and it played perfectly first time. Do you think that was God telling me to sort my memory out?? *giggle*

Of course, by that time I had to leave anyway so I didn't get to hear the song... *giggle*

This made me giggle...

(Sorry, can't credit it to anyone as I don't know who said it!)

"She's not going to believe you. I don't believe you and I was there."

I've had such a great day!!

Church was great this morning (and I think I may have settled one of the worries I was having. I let my mind wander a bit- I was pretty tired so I didn't have all that much of a choice, my concentration wasn't at it's highest- and I found myself thinking about first how Jesus must have felt knowing that it was His destiny to be humiliated and killed to save the world [not that I could really know but you know what I mean, I hope], especially when so many people deny who He is and what He did for this world, and from their my mind wandered onto how God must have felt knowing His only son would die for above mentioned reasons [again, I can't know how it felt. Though I'd imagine people with children would have a better knowledge than me] and then my mind wandered onto something a bit random but something that provided me with a glimmer of hope. I may mention it in a future post so I'm not going to mention it now.) and we had cakes and muffins afterwards to say goodbye to Jeremy (our organist, he left today. He played one of the pieces by Bach-one of the really famous ones, I can't remember what it is called- at the end of the service, it was sooo good! He really is very talented.

Anyway, after church mum, dad, Martin and I went for a picnic. We had our picnic near the reservoir. When we'd finished and had sat down for a bit, we went for a walk. Mum bought Martin and I a drink at the cafe and then we continued walking. Martin and I were playing frisbee as we walked- frisbee could well be my favourite game to play outside! So fun! Everytime a bike (or bikes) came passed we were doing the Waynes World thing when they're playing hockey on the road, but with bikes, obviously- "Bike!" "Game on!"

After a while (not sure how long it took but it must have been a fair while) we'd got round part of the reservoir and we were at another cafe so we had either an ice cream or an ice lolly each. We ate them sitting by the reservoir and then we all played frisbee for a while before heading back to the car.
Martin and I continued playing frisbee and after a while dad and mum joined in and we continued playing as we walked until we got to the car- it was so much fun!

I've been happier today than I have the rest of the week put together!

Ducks: Is there more to them than meets the eye?

The Truth about Ducks

I am here to address something that has become more and more of a problem in today’s society. Every day, more and more people lose the necessary awareness about how to deal with Ducks. Duck shelters are being replaced by shelters from less serious threats, such as bombs and hurricanes. Lack of Duck awareness has now topped even the lack of awareness of other dangerous animals, such as cockroaches, hummingbirds and sea cucumbers. In fact, awareness about Ducks has died completely; the entire modern knowledge base on Ducks is based completely on lies. I alone know the truth; I alone can cure the dangerous ignorance that the world has developed about Ducks.

Now everyone knows that Ducks are innocent little yellow bundles of joy, right? WRONG! This is what modern lies have made Ducks out to be. I know the truth though, after countless hours of observation, I’ve managed to discover what Ducks do when you’re not looking. Ducks are without a doubt the smartest, most sinister threat to ever walk the earth. Have you ever wondered why the dinosaurs died? Was it a meteor? Or perhaps a flood? This has long since been a mystery that scientists couldn’t solve; they couldn’t solve it, not because it happened so long ago but because the meteor was framed, to cover up the real source of their extinction. The truth of the matter is, I feel faint just speaking off the unspeakable terrors, but the truth must be told, the dinosaurs were enslaved by Ducks! Now dinosaurs constantly perform ballet for their evil Duck taskmasters in deep underground lairs.

This leads us to another question, one that any detective would be asking himself. Why? What motive do the Ducks have for enslaving the dinosaurs? Well a little known fact about Ducks is that they are very power hungry. So back in the day, who ruled the Earth? The dinosaurs, but the Ducks wouldn’t stand for that, they knew they were fully capable of overpowering the dinosaurs. So on one fateful day, the Ducks attacked. Another little-known fact is that the average Duck can rip apart a cement sidewalk with as little effort as it takes a human to open a ziplock bag. So the Ducks attacked, within hours the dinosaurs were defeated and the Ducks quickly carved out a massive hole in an effort to frame some innocent meteorite somewhere. The scary part of this story rests in two simple words. It worked. If the Ducks can manipulate the entire human race once, how do you know they won’t do it again?

Now let me give you some facts. Adolf Hitler, President Bush, Bill Gates, Michael Jackson and countless others come into contact with a Duck at least once every 14 days. Coincidence? I think not. The truth is, that in one way or another, every major event ever to occur on this planet has been masterminded by the Ducks. I don’t know what their master plan is, but I highly doubt that it includes the continued survival of the human race. That is why the Ducks have slowly begun to capture people and use horrific torture methods to convince them to ally themselves with the leaders of the Duck Empire. These people, whom I have begun calling Friends of the Duck could be anywhere. Next time you visit your Grandma, make sure you look twice at that statue of a Duck in her backyard. Did you ever notice how interested your brother was in Ducks? Trust no one; watch your back because you never know. No matter what you may believe, you must live your life with one statement as the golden rule. “Somewhere, someway, the Ducks are coming for you”.

Now I know what you’re thinking, this kid is insane; he must have porridge for brains. Those things are both true, but that doesn’t change the facts. The Ducks are out to get you. The Friends of the Duck are rising, they will conquer all. Now you must be wondering, “What can I do?” There is only one answer to this disturbing question. Nothing. You cannot stop the Ducks. Nobody can, but you can stay alert. Next time you see a small child playing with a Duck, step in and stop it because you never know, you might have prevented that child from becoming a Friend of the Duck. Notice how everywhere in my document, the word Duck is capitalized. I do this out of fear; you don’t want to attract a Ducks attention. It may be the last thing you ever do. Be wary and be strong, because the Ducks are watching.

So tired, tired of waiting...

I hate waiting to hear from job interviews. It's bad enough after any interview but when the job is one you REALLY, REALLY want....it's soooo hard!! I'm so nervous. You know the feeling you get in your stomach when you're really nervous? I've had that since Monday. Arrrrrrrrrrrgh.

Sad news

I think I may have written about my godmother before. She has been suffering with terminal cancer for a few years now (can't remember how many). She got the results of her latest scan back today (I think. I heard about it today, anyway) and the cancer has spread pretty much everywhere. They are trying to get her name down for emergency radiotherapy.

I don't know whether what will happen from hereon in, it's in God's hands. He knows what is best for her. I don't want to think about the possibilites at the moment, to be honest. All I know is that God knows what is best for her and what is meant to happen will happen.

If anyone could spare a prayer or two for her and her family, that would be very much appreciated.

Thanks guys,
