ahh.. tuesday only.. haha!!!
i wish it were friday already.. work is getting on my nerves because that guy is getting on mine.. i know i am seemingly quite horrible.. i mean, the guy is after all, being nice..
-scowls-
this is some really bad habit.. everytime i think a guy has something for me, or getting a little too close.. i tend to want to shut him out totally.. like dont talk to him at all kind of thing.. and it's starting to be the case right now.. i find things to pick on.. taking for example, the current one.. cant speak proper english and his dressing is just so.. so.. not my kind..
how horrible can i get seriously?
urgh!
anyways.. today's the day they commemorate the 911. and i am reminded of a story someone told me.. i cant remember who but that person was kind of against president bush. that person said that people say. p.bush was the one who had 'asked' for the plane crash or something.. because when he found out about the crash, p.bush was still reading stories to the kids in a school or something.. but from my point, would you expect p.bush to stop reading to the kids and say
"okay little ones, i've got to go now, got an emergency meeting because of a plane crash. you take care alright?"
if i were in his shoes, i'd finish the story, knowing that 'my people' will help control the situation for me while i set a good example and meet the ones who will mould the future..
then again, i am not he and i dont know what p.bush is doing..
coincidentally, the book i'm currently reading, "issues facing Christians today" by john stott, the chapter about war and peace is the part i was reading for the past couple of days.. and somehow, it struck me.. the book was talking about lobbying for the chosen leaders of the countries and nations.. but supporting them in the right causes and to start a debate to change some rules if the rules are what we deem unfit for the nation.. so a thought came to mind.
what do i think, about the current situation of having armies in iraq.. with all the men who have families, and kids waiting for them at home, not being able to see them for months.. did you not see the recent news, where a picture of an army personnel, hugging his wife and his 4 month old baby girl?
what are they still doing there if things have calmed down? what is p.bush doing? is it a state where we are trying to takeover the world, a country at a time? or is it really for the human rights of peace in iraq?
the different points of views are the things that make decisions more difficult unless one really understands the situations.. not only on 1 side, but both.. sadly, we are too muh caught up in our own world.. but who could we blame?
anyways, i havent got much to say once again.. but here's this song that has been on my mind for the past couple of days.. means quite a lot to me somehow.. brings back a couple of memories..
casting crowns
praise You in this storm
i was sure by now
that You would have reached down
and wiped our tears away
stepped in and saved the day
but once again, i say "Amen",
and it's still raining
as the thunder rolls
i barely hear You whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
and as Your mercy falls
i raise my hands and praise the God who gives
and takes away
i'll praise You in this storm
and i will lift my hands
for You are who You are
no matter where i am
every tear i've cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
and though my heart is torn
i will praise You in this storm
i remember when
i stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry and
You raised me up again
my strength is almost gone
how can i carry on
if i cant find You
as the thunder rolls
i barely hear You whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
and as Your mercy falls
i raise my hands and praise the God who gives
and takes away
i'll praise You in this storm
and i will lift my hands
for You are who You are
no matter where i am
every tear i've cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
and though my heart is torn
i will praise You in this storm
i lift my eyes unto the hills
where does my help come from
my help comes from the Lord
the Maker of heaven and earth
i lift my eyes unto the hills
where does my help come from
my help comes from the Lord
the Maker of heaven and earth
i'll praise You in this storm
and i will lift my hands
for You are who You are
no matter where i am
every tear i've cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
and though my heart is torn
vanessa
i will praise You in this storm
