Colossians 3:1-2

"Since you have been raised with Christ, set your heart on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things."

Not sure why this verse suddenly came into mind last night. But I know very well that I haven't been doing what it says. Life is consuming me. (I know, I know, common excuse.) But it's just the way things are. School, family, friends, so much to do, so much to think about.

I HAVE been raised to life with Christ, and yet, I haven't made much of an effort to stop sinning, to stop putting other things before God. I haven't truly set my heart and mind on things about. I haven't been doing what I'm supposed to, loving the Lord with all my heart, all my mind, all my strength. I still possess so much sin in my life that needs to be rid of.

Daddy,
Be the Lord of my life. Give me a heart to love you with all my heart, all my mind and all my strength. Take away the sin that I have held onto, and make me pure in your eyes. Teach me to live a life where you are the centre of ALL things. Teach me to set my heart and mind on things about and not on earthly things, for everything on this earth is temporary. Quieten my heart so that I may be able to hear your voice speaking to me. Lead me, guide me, so that I may live by your will.
Amen.

A "short" update

By Annie
Huh, it's been quite a while since I've posted here. Trials are creeping closer and closer, and you can't say I'm not stressed. But at the same time I haven't been the most productive person...in fact, I must say I'm very lazy. Less than 2 weeks til trials and I'm sitting here writing a blog. Here's how I've been going. All the drama's died down since last time, thankfully. I'm learning to let it go and not let it bother me as much. At the moment it seems that my parents are keeping a close watch on my sister, and God willing, it won't happen again. In terms of Barney, I can't say I don't have feelings towards him anymore, but it has been better. I guess I'm able to be comfortable around him again. My pain has returned, but what can I do. My menstrual cycle is currently terrible- I think I've bled for almost a month now. The pain is as usual, a pain- especially to manage because my meds haven't been of use lately....

Apparently not stressed enough.

Why don't my parents do the HSC if they think it's so easy? So, basically, I got my report last night and when my dad saw it, he just kept repeating the fact that my marks were crap and that I'm doing horribly. "You should be the top of the school" My mum wasn't any better, saying that I didn't do well and I need to work harder. Why do they only look at extension maths? I KNOW I FAILED IT. As if I don't feel crappy already. Don't cry. You can't cry.  You're not allowed to cry.

ANNOYING LIFE. I was in quite a good mood this morning...i was happy to be able to see a certain someone for 2hrs. i was happy to be around friends. bible study was fun too. even the afternoon was awesomee. yumcha, fbing,msning. BUT... during piano lessons, the teacher angry at me for not practicing when i had already tried my best. my mum started saying things that i don't like to hear. and my dad lectured me. that really turned my mood off. during the WHOLE car trip i was staring out th window thinking and feeling sad. i really wanted to back-chat to them, but i knew i couldn't. so i was just ignoring it...i was thinking to myself: why do my parents have to set high standards for me? why do they think i can't do things when i can if i try. why do they keep pressuring me? they just don't know that the more pressure they put on me, the earlier i will give up something. even if it's something i like to do. i think being around friends is the happiest moment fo...
